Bills Announce Joe Brady as New Head Coach
The Buffalo Bills have named Joe Brady as their new head coach following the dismissal of Sean McDermott. This decision marks a swift transition, as Brady was the first candidate interviewed during the head coaching search, which lasted only a week.
Joe Brady’s Contract and Expectations
Reports indicate that Brady has signed a five-year contract. The move signals the Bills’ intent to enhance their competitive stance rather than initiate a full rebuild of their coaching and roster structure. The organization anticipates immediate progress under Brady’s leadership.
