US EditionBills promote offensive coordinator Joe Brady to take over as head coach, AP sources say
- On Jan. 27, 2026 the Buffalo Bills agreed to promote offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach, multiple outlets including ESPN and The Associated Press reported.
- After firing Sean McDermott on Jan. 19, 2026, Terry Pegula cited the emotional fallout from the AFC Divisional round loss to the Denver Broncos and said Josh Allen helped select the next coach.
- Brady rose through Buffalo's coaching ranks by serving as quarterbacks coach and interim offensive coordinator in 2023 before becoming full-time coordinator, with Buffalo's offense ranking among the NFL's top four and helping Josh Allen win MVP in 2024.
- Brady's promotion brings continuity to the Buffalo Bills a little over a week after McDermott's firing, effectively ending the head-coach search and tasking Brady with maximizing Josh Allen's prime.
- Multiple reports say Brady agreed to a multi-year contract while the team has not announced the hire, and he interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and other teams before Buffalo's in-house decision.
