Joe Brady has officially signed a five-year contract to become a head coach in the NFL, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal marks a major milestone for Brady, who has been considered one of the league's premier head-coaching candidates for several consecutive seasons.
Per @RapSheet, Brady is "landing at home" with this new appointment. While the specific franchise was not immediately named in the initial report, the phrasing indicates a move to a location with which Brady has significant personal or professional ties. The five-year duration of the contract underscores a long-term commitment from the organization to the offensive-minded coach.
Brady most recently served as the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, where he was credited with revitalizing the team's scoring attack. His coaching resume also includes a stint as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers and a highly successful tenure as the passing game coordinator for the LSU Tigers during their 2019 National Championship season.
Known for his innovative schemes and quarterback development, Brady has long been expected to make the jump to a head coaching role. Further details regarding the hiring team and his coaching staff are expected to be released as the league's hiring cycle continues.
