The Buffalo Bills’ offense has been the best in the NFL this season, and it is in large part due to the emergence of offensive coordinator Joe Brady and his philosophy of leaning into the run game and being more efficient in the passing game, while also being able to dip into the well of Josh Allen being from another dimension.
Brady’s name will certainly be one of the hottest this offseason in terms of the head coaching pool. For Buffalo’s sake, they’ll hope he pulls a Ben Johnson and sticks around for the next few years. That said, Matt Johnson of Sportsnaut says the team to really watch for in terms of Brady is another AFC powerhouse – the Cincinnati Bengals.
A major change is needed and with Burrow receiving more input in the franchise’s decision-making, it would make sense to reunite him with Joe Brady,” Johnson wrote. “The 35-year-old was at LSU as passing game coordinator in 2019, served as Josh Allen’s quarterbacks coach from 2022-’23 and has helped Allen likely deliver a season that will win him NFL MVP. Plus, Brady could take one of Buffalo’s top defensive assistants to become the Bengals’ defensive play-caller.
Having Brady leave for Cincinnati would be one of, if not the worst case scenario for the Bills. They’d all but certainly have to go through the Bengals at some point in the postseason, and doing so against the person who knows Josh Allen better than just about any coach in the NFL would certainly make that much more difficult.
