What Charlie Weis is aware of for positive is that Brian Daboll can take it.
What occurs subsequent is anybody’s guess. However Weis — who was with the Patriots when Daboll bought his begin within the NFL — is aware of the brand new head coach of the Giants can deal with all that comes with a most demanding job.
“There are questions like ‘How do you deal with adversity?’ particularly within the New York market, how’s that gonna go?’’ Weis instructed The Put up on Saturday. “How do you take care of the media within the New York market? Till you get the chance to try this, there are gonna be unknowns irrespective of who you find yourself choosing.
“He’s been hardened. Typically we speak about people who find themselves smooth. He’s not smooth. He’s been hardened.’’
Daboll’s first NFL expertise was with Invoice Belichick. His first, and later his most up-to-date, school expertise was with Nick Saban.
“We coach onerous up there in New England, Invoice’s actually onerous on his workers,’’ Weis stated. “You take a look at Saban, you understand Saban was onerous on him whereas he was there. You watch Nick simply hammering the coordinators on a regular basis. He’s been hardened.’’
Weis isn't a bystander to this hardening course of. When he stated Daboll can “take a lickin’ and carry on tickin’ ” and when he insisted, “He can take a verbal beating,’’ that assurance isn't primarily based on commentary.
“I’ve executed it!’’ Weis stated. “What do you imply have I seen it? I’m responsible as charged. I’m one of many individuals I’m speaking about. He had psychological toughness and he had it when he was younger, too.’’
Weis was the Patriots’ offensive coordinator in 2000 when Daboll was employed as a defensive assistant. Two years later, Daboll was elevated to huge receivers coach, which meant he labored immediately with Weis and was stationed within the workplace proper subsequent to Weis. Daboll, now 46, was in his mid-20s and launched into a 21-year NFL teaching rise that took him via the Jets, Browns, Dolphins, Chiefs, again to the Patriots and Alabama. The previous 4 years, his work with the Payments and Josh Allen made Daboll the most well liked of candidates.
“We’re speaking about plenty of years,’’ Weis stated. “Typically I might get jealous of fellows who bought jobs who I assumed bought jobs that they hadn’t earned. They only appeared to get handed jobs. I all the time felt the roles I bought I needed to earn. I believe Brian has undoubtedly earned this job. Typically you second-guess a choose, although there have been actually good candidates they have been interviewing, nobody might second-guess that Brian Daboll has earned this chance, as a result of he has. You are taking the final half-dozen years and say, ‘Has there anybody else the place the arrow was pointing up any greater than his?’ I believe you’d have a tricky job arising with anyone who was any higher. Perhaps even, however no higher.’’
Weis stated his first impressions of Daboll have been that he was vivid, hard-working, got here up with good concepts, was energetic and had a constructive character. He stated Daboll can “be ornery, like everybody else’’ however figures Daboll could have no points dealing with the New York media.
That is the step that journeys up so many coordinators, the step that Daboll now takes.
“Let’s face it, that is the New York Giants, the largest market within the nation,’’ Weis stated. “Can he command the room? He’s been commanding half the room for the final bunch of years. He’s been a coordinator the final bunch of years. That’s commanding a room with a bunch of males, not simply youngsters.’’
Weis believes Daboll is prepared for this, and that he can take all that comes with it.
