EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It was Jan. 28, a Friday afternoon, when the New York Giants hired Brian Daboll as their head coach. By that evening, he had already spoken to his new starting quarterback, Daniel Jones. He told Jones to start brainstorming some plays that he liked best, dating as far back as high school or college. They would meet soon to discuss.
It was imperative that Daboll get this information. This is how he goes about building a playbook.
It didn't matter that there was a storm on the horizon that would drop a foot or more of snow on part of the area the following day.
