The Buffalo Bills are promoting a familiar face that many LSU fans remember, Joe Brady.
Brady’s talents were recognized as he played a pivotal role for one of the greatest football teams of all time, the 2019 LSU Tigers.
The Tigers would average the most points per game in college football that year (48.4), as well as producing Heisman trophy winner Joe Burrow, who threw for over 5,600 yards and 60 touchdowns.
Brady has strong ties to the state of Louisiana, as he started as the offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints during the 2017-18 season. Brady later joined the LSU staff in 2019 as the passing game coordinator and the wide receivers coach.
He returned to the NFL as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers during the 2020-21 season and then join the Bills staff in 2022, where he was quarterbacks coach before being permanently hired as the offensive coordinator for the 2024-25 season.
His promotion came after the playoff loss in the divisional round against the Denver Broncos where the Bills decided to move from head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons.
There were numerous candidates the Bills could’ve gone for, but in the end, they decided to stay in-house by promoting offensive coordinator Brady as their next coach, agreeing to a five-year deal.
Under Brady, the Bills have produced the No. 4-ranked offense in yards (376.3) and points per game (28.3). While it does help to have a talent like MVP-winning quarterback Josh Allen, Brady’s offensive mindset is one of the most attractive in the NFL.
