Sean Payton Sought Joe Brady as Offensive Coordinator and Potential Play Caller
In a significant move in the NFL, Joe Brady has been promoted to head coach of the Buffalo Bills. This decision comes amid interest from other teams, particularly the Denver Broncos, who had considered Brady for their offensive coordinator position.
Joe Brady’s NFL Journey
Joe Brady, known for his impressive track record, previously worked alongside Sean Payton in New Orleans. From 2017 to 2018, he served as an offensive assistant before moving to LSU, where he significantly contributed as the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. His contributions helped lead LSU to a National Championship.
Brady then joined the Carolina Panthers for a period and has been with the Buffalo Bills since 2022. During his tenure, he served as the play caller for quarterback Josh Allen, guiding the team’s top-ranked rushing offense over the past two seasons.
Interest from the Denver Broncos
Reports from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport indicate that Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton had targeted Brady as a potential offensive coordinator. Payton was even reportedly open to relinquishing play-calling duties if it meant securing Brady’s expertise.
- Brady’s history with Payton adds familiarity, making him an attractive candidate.
- The Broncos’ offense has struggled with consistency, facing challenges in rushing, pass-catching, and scoring.
The Future of the Broncos’ Offense
Brady’s appointment could inject new ideas into the Broncos’ offense. If the speculation surrounding his role is accurate, it could reshape the coaching landscape. Recently appointed pass game coordinator Davis Webb is also considered a contender for promotion, particularly if he opts out of the Raiders head coaching position.
It remains unclear whether the Broncos will pursue other candidates for their offensive coordinator role, especially if Brady is indeed a primary target. The upcoming decision-making process is likely to be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
As the thrill of the NFL coaching carousel continues, all eyes will be on how the situation unfolds with Joe Brady and the Denver Broncos.
