Joe Brady may have found his comfort zone.
As first reported by CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones on Friday, the Atlanta Falcons have requested to speak with the Buffalo Bills interim offensive coordinator about their vacant head coach position. Brady also served as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator between 2020 and 2021.
That short run was initiated by former Panthers head coach Matt Rhule, who hired the young play-caller right out of college. Brady, who was 30 years old at the time, rose to popularity for his work as the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach for the national champion LSU Tigers in 2019.
Then, that short run was concluded by Rhule 12 games into his second season. The Panthers ranked 21st in yards per game and 24th in points per game under Brady in his first season and 28th in yards and 23rd in points prior to his firing in 2021.
Brady landed on his feet in 2022, as he was hired as Buffalo’s quarterbacks coach. He would assume the offensive play-calling duties on Nov. 14, following the dismissal of another former Carolina staffer, Ken Dorsey.
The Bills have gone 7-1 since the switch.
