The Buffalo Bills reportedly decided to name offensive coordinator Joe Brady as their next head coach, replacing Sean McDermott.

Brady joined the Bills’ organization before the start of the 2022 season as the team’s quarterbacks coach. He served in that capacity for two seasons before he was named the interim offensive coordinator. The team later stripped the interim title off him and made him the official offensive coordinator.

All of his roles with the Bills came under McDermott, who was fired following a tough playoff loss to the Denver Broncos earlier this month. McDermott had a very successful run with the Bills, only missing out on the postseason once. However, Buffalo was never able to get over the hump and into the Super Bowl.

Buffalo is hoping Brady will change that.

Brady’s deal is for five years, according to the NFL Network. In that time, he will look to elevate Josh Allen from just an MVP-winning quarterback to a Super Bowl champion. Brady has had some success at the college level in winning.
