Josh Allen advices teams should stay away from OC Joe Brady amid head coaching interest

As the Buffalo Bills enjoy another successful NFL season, quarterback Josh Allen has nothing but praise for his offensive coordinator, Joe Brady. With multiple teams expressing interest in Brady for their vacant head coaching positions, Allen jokingly suggested teams “stay away” from the talented coach. Behind the humor, however, lies a deep respect for Brady’s impact on the Bills’ explosive offense.

Joe Brady’s Immediate Impact on the Bills’ Offense

Joe Brady took over as the offensive coordinator midway through the 2022 season after the Bills fired Ken Dorsey, following a disappointing 5-5 start. Brady immediately turned the team around, leading the Bills to a 6-1 record down the stretch and clinching the AFC East title. His ability to adjust quickly in the middle of the season highlighted his leadership and expertise.

This season, Brady’s influence is even more apparent. The Bills are averaging 30.9 points per game, ranking second in the NFL behind only the Detroit Lions. Under his guidance, the team has not only maintained its offensive momentum but also taken it to the next level, making the Bills a serious contender in the playoffs.

Josh Allen Thrives Under Brady’s Leadership

Under Joe Brady’s leadership, Josh Allen has delivered some of the best performances of his career. Allen has completed 63.6% of his passes, throwing for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Additionally, Allen has been a force on the ground, rushing for 531 yards and scoring 12 rushing touchdowns, averaging over five yards per attempt.

Allen attributes his success to Brady’s infectious energy and positivity. “He’s been fantastic… one of the most positive guys in the building. He’s always got juice and energy for the guys,” Allen said. “That’s something we love and appreciate about him, and he’s as real as they come.” Brady’s ability to connect with players has clearly translated into improved team performance and Allen’s standout season.

Teams Eye Joe Brady for Head Coaching Roles

Brady’s success with the Bills has attracted interest from teams across the league. Reports suggest that the Chicago Bears, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars have requested interviews with him for their vacant head coaching positions.

Known for his innovative playcalling and ability to maximize offensive potential, Brady is an attractive candidate for teams seeking a turnaround. However, for the Bills, losing their offensive mastermind would leave a significant void. Josh Allen jokingly said teams “should stay away,” but his comments reflect the team’s deep appreciation for Brady’s impact.

Brady’s Future and the Bills’ Playoff Prospects

As the Bills gear up for their Wild Card matchup against the Denver Broncos, Joe Brady has another opportunity to showcase his coaching prowess. The Broncos’ defense, which allows just 18.3 points per game (third-fewest in the NFL), will test the limits of Brady’s high-powered offense.

While his future as a head coach remains uncertain, Brady’s contributions to the Bills’ success are undeniable. From revitalizing the team in 2022 to leading one of the NFL’s top offenses this year, Brady has proven himself as one of the league’s brightest coaching talents. For the Bills and Josh Allen, keeping him around would be ideal, but it seems only a matter of time before Brady takes on the challenge of leading a team as a head coach.
