Bills hand Brady permanent OC job

The Buffalo Bills promoted interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady to their permanent position, the team announced Sunday.

Brady took over the offense after Ken Dorsey was fired on Nov. 14, helping Buffalo win six of its last seven games to claim the AFC East title.

The offense averaged 27 points and 370.7 yards per game during his seven regular-season games in charge. The Bills fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in their opening postseason matchup.

Brady originally joined Buffalo as the quarterbacks coach in 2022, guiding Josh Allen to an impressive season that earned him MVP finalist honors.

The 34-year-old rose to prominence after starring as LSU's passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach during the Tigers' national title-winning season in 2019.

Brady was hired by the Carolina Panthers ahead of the 2020 season but was fired toward the end of his second campaign.
