The Buffalo Bills have officially named Joe Brady as the team's permanent offensive coordinator, according to @AdamSchefter.
Brady, 34, has held the role on an interim basis since mid-November following the firing of Ken Dorsey. Under his leadership, the Buffalo Bills offense saw a significant resurgence, winning six of their final seven regular-season games to secure their fourth consecutive AFC East division title. The promotion comes after Brady successfully stabilized the unit and helped guide the team through the postseason.
During his stint as the interim play-caller, Brady was credited with revitalizing the Buffalo ground game and improving the efficiency of quarterback Josh Allen. Under Brady, running back James Cook reached his first career Pro Bowl, and the offense became one of the most balanced units in the NFL down the stretch. Prior to his time in Orchard Park, Brady served as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers and was the passing game coordinator for LSU’s record-breaking 2019 championship team.
The decision to retain Brady provides much-needed continuity for Allen and the Bills core as they head into the 2024 offseason. Head coach Sean McDermott had previously praised Brady for his communication skills and his ability to adapt the scheme to the team's personnel mid-season.
