Foxborough, Massachusetts – November 2025

Just a few days after being fired by the New York Giants, the legendary former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, Brian Daboll, has shocked the entire NFL by publicly expressing his desire to return to “his old home.” The man who once won 5 Super Bowl championships with Bill Belichick now says he wants to contribute one more time – this time, in the role of tactical advisor for rookie Drake Maye.

In an exclusive interview with the Boston Herald, Daboll shared: “New England has never left my heart. I grew up with the victories, the late nights in the film room with Bill, with Tom… and to this day, I still feel the Patriots spirit flowing in every beat of my heart.” That statement left the entire Patriots Nation choked with emotion.

According to close sources, Robert Kraft and Head Coach Mike Vrabel have had a short conversation with Daboll. Although there is no official announcement yet, the reaction from inside the Patriots is described as “very positive.” Some team members believe that Daboll’s return – even if only in an advisory role – will be a huge boost for Drake Maye’s development process.

Daboll, the man who once helped Josh Allen reach MVP level at the Buffalo Bills, is seen as a rare offensive mind. His appearance, if it becomes reality, could bring the Patriots the creativity and flexibility they have been missing since the Brady – McDaniels era. “He understands the DNA of this organization,” an internal source shared, “and that is exactly what the Patriots need most right now.”

The entire Foxborough is eagerly waiting. The combination of Mike Vrabel, Josh McDaniels, Drake Maye – and possibly Brian Daboll – evokes the golden image of a dynasty that once dominated the NFL. If the “Patriots fire” is truly reignited, then the day Daboll returns to Gillette could be the start of a new chapter full of hope.
