Buffalo Bills promote OC Joe Brady to head coach; check details

The Buffalo Bills have promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach, a move that will ensure continuity for quarterback Josh Allen and the team’s high-powered offense. Brady’s promotion comes in the wake of Sean McDermott’s firing, ending an era in which Buffalo consistently contended in the AFC and giving the team a fresh direction while retaining a familiar offensive philosophy.

Brady, who has spent the last three seasons as the Bills' full-time offensive coordinator, will now step into a leadership role that will shape the franchise’s future. His familiarity with the roster, system, and Allen’s unique skill set made him a natural choice for the position, especially as other teams scouted him as a top offensive mind.

Joe Brady’s offensive philosophy emphasizes balance and creativity, recognizing the importance of a strong running game. James Cook flourished under Brady’s guidance, winning his first NFL rushing title, while Allen once again positioned himself as an MVP candidate. Buffalo’s offense also led the league in rushing yards, showcasing Brady’s ability to maximize both the passing and ground attack.

His strategic approach is expected to ensure that the Bills remain among the NFL’s most difficult teams to defend, a formula that has earned him widespread praise and now a head coaching opportunity.
