The Buffalo Bills are a team that understands how the coaching carousel works. The more success a team has, the more likely other organizations will want to know the secrets behind them.
That means many top assistants in organizations will be poached for their head job. Buffalo knows this well. They've lost an assistant general manager and a head coach before.
As the 2024 season carries on, though, it's clear that another one of Sean McDermott's assistants could be poached in the coming months.
Offensive play-caller Joe Brady.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, it's not a surprise, either.
“Still one of the NFL's youngest coordinators, Brady first appeared on this list in 2020, after he'd parlayed a national title run with the Joe Burrow-led LSU Tigers into the Panthers' offensive coordinator job," Pelissero wrote. "In January of 2021, he got five head-coaching interviews. Things went south in Carolina; Matt Rhule made a surprise decision to fire Brady in December 2021.
"But Brady is a bright offensive mind who has made the most of a second NFL play-calling opportunity in Buffalo, starting on an interim basis last fall."
Brady is only 35 years old. That's incredibly young when compared to other play-callers around the league. He took over the struggling Ken Dorsey midway through the 2023 season and hasn't looked back.
It wouldn't be a surprise at all if the Bills' offensive coordinator would be lost for a head job.
And it would put Buffalo back on their heels again on offense.
