Brian Daboll did not have NFL ties to the first defensive coordinator he hired and that relationship fizzled out after two seasons. 

Perhaps the next assistant Daboll brings in to run the Giants’ defense will be someone he has worked with previously.

Bobby Babich, the Bills’ linebackers coach, fits that description and the Giants have requested an interview with him, The Post confirmed.

Babich, 40, was the safeties coach in 2018 in Buffalo when Daboll arrived as the offensive coordinator and they spent four years together on Sean McDermott’s staff. 

So, there is certainly a familiarity there, not only with Daboll but also with general manager Joe Schoen from their shared together with the Bills. 

Babich took over coaching linebackers in Buffalo for his father, Bob, who retired after the 2021 season. 

Bobby Babich did not make the defensive calls during his seven years in Buffalo.

In addition to Babich, the Giants have interviewed or expressed interest in Dennard Wilson (Ravens defensive backs coach), Shane Bowen (former Titans defensive coordinator), Derrick Ansley (former Chargers defensive coordinator), Anthony Campanile (Dolphins linebackers coach) and Jerome Henderson, the Giants’ defensive backs coach.
