Every season at least one up and coming coordinator emerges as the next top head coaching candidate across the NFL.
While only three games into the 2024 campaign, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady may just be the next top candidate to land a top job this winter.
According to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, Brady is a name to watch this offseason, after interviewing for head coaching vacancies last hiring cycle.
“It’s hard to ignore what Joe Brady is doing in Buffalo, dating to last season,” Fowler writes for ESPN. “He has established an equal opportunity offense that finds the open man and can dictate the pace with a run-heavy attack. He interviewed for head-coaching jobs years ago and sort of missed the window, but it appears that will open for him again.”
While less than a quarter of the season has been played, the Bills are authoring a strong case as the best team in the league, so far.
Likewise, Buffalo has found myriad of ways to win offensively; whether it is Josh Allen leading the charge (completing 75 percent of his passes for 634 yards with seven touchdowns to zero interceptions) or leaning heavily into a ground-and-pound attack with running back James Cook (188 rushing yards and three touchdowns), Brady and the Bills have crafted game plans to dictate to opponents based on the defense and what each game calls for.
At age 35, Brady helped guide Buffalo to the league’s fourth-rated offense in 2023 and is off to a tremendous start in 2024. If Buffalo keeps this pace up offensively, Brady may be on the cusp of having his own program to run in 2025.
