The Buffalo Bills have their new head coach, and he’s someone the team should be able to hit the ground running on offense.
The Buffalo Bills have their new head coach, ultimately promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady to lead the era of the franchise as it officially opens the doors to a new home in 2026. As with any move made by One Bills Drive, fans of the team have plenty of opinions on president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane’s decision to hire within.
Most fans understood that quarterback Josh Allen was involved in the team’s search for a new head coach, with him reportedly sitting in on every interview. Bills Mafia also knew that the impetus for this search came out of a the locker room vibe after Buffalo dropped another playoff game in heartbreaking fashion to an AFC West team.
We want to hear more from you, Rumblers. What’s your feeling on this move, considering his ties to former head coach Sean McDermott? Did One Bills Drive get this one right, or have they fallen prey to familiarity? From a 30,000-foot view, Brady has been a huge success with Buffalo.
In Brady there’s familiarity for the Bills, obviously. Hired in 2022 to be the team’s quarterbacks coach under offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, Brady has a well-established relationship with quarterback Josh Allen. Following Dorsey’s dismissal, Brady was promoted to interim offensive coordinator ahead of a Week 11 game against the New York Jets. The offense shined in Brady’s first game at OC, winning 32-6 at home. Brady was officially hired as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator beginning with the 2024 NFL season, and he never looked back.
In his first full season as offensive coordinator, Brady directed a system that saw quarterback Josh Allen earn Associated Press NFL MVP honors for his efforts during the 2024 campaign. The offense under Brady in 2024 finished second in points per game, 1oth in offensive yards per game, and ninth in both passing and rushing yards per game.
Following that up, the 2025 season saw Brady’s system finish fourth in both points per game and yards per game, 15th in passing yards per game, and first in rushing yards per game.
Running back James Cook III led the NFL in rushing yards and had 12 touchdowns while being named Second-Team All-Pro, while Allen finished one score shy of 40 total touchdowns despite a less-than-ideal wide receivers room.
So tell us: Do you approve of the Bills hiring Joe Brady as their new head coach?
