The Buffalo Bills are expected to promote offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach, according to multiple reports on Tuesday. He will be the youngest head coach in the NFL.
Brady, 36, has been with the organization since 2022 and its offensive coordinator since midway through the 2023 season. Brady shot to stardom as the passing game coordinator for LSU's iconic 2019 national title team, a year that won him the Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in college football.
He parlayed that into the offensive coordinator job for the Carolina Panthers under head coach Matt Rhule, where he spent two seasons, before taking the quarterbacks job under McDermott in Buffalo.
Brady now replaces his former boss, who went 98-50 in nine seasons with the Bills. An organization famous for losing four straight Super Bowls, Buffalo set another NFL record under McDermott in becoming the first team in league history to win a playoff game in six straight seasons without winning -- let alone reaching -- a Super Bowl.
The Brady hire is made with the stated goal of maximizing the prime of 2024 NFL MVP Josh Allen, with a Super Bowl victory as the goal.
More to come.
