Bills promote offensive coordinator Joe Brady to take over as head coach, AP sources say
January 27, 2026
The Buffalo Bills are promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach, according to two people with knowledge of the decision. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced Brady’s hiring. One of the people said Brady has agreed to a five-year contract to take over a Josh Allen-led perennial winner that’s accomplished everything short of reaching a Super Bowl. The 36-year-old just completed his fourth season in Buffalo, and his second full season as coordinator. Brady’s promotion brings continuity to Buffalo a little over a week after Sean McDermott was fired following a nine-year tenure.
