Joe Brady:

* Quarterbacks coach for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL).
* Previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers from 2020 to 2021.
* Passing game coordinator and wide receiver coach for the LSU Tigers during the 2019 season, winning the Broyles Award for the best assistant coach in college football
* Offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints from 2017 to 2018.

i actually like that name alot. Doesn't have the local roots or midwestern roots that we tend to look for but that can be supplemented with some quality hires. i imagine he'll get a pretty good endorsement from at least one local celebrity. NFL bona fides will help with recruiting, at least on the offensive side of the ball.

i'd rather take a chance on him then a lot of other names i've seen floated around.

Hardest of hard passes on Joe Brady.

He's an NFL guy who did one year in college in a gig that allowed him to give his complete and undivided attention to running an offense -- unencumbered by things like managing a staff or recruiting.

First chance he got, he jumped back to the NFL and was an absolutely terrible coordinator in Carolina.

Dude was/is a 1 year flash in the pan when he happened to be involved with an offense that had two generational talents at WR and a #1 overall pick at QB.

I'd honestly rather have Kerry Coombs, and that's saying something.

Agree. That LSU team would have made a lot of OC's look really good.

is Carolina good and did Brady tank them? i only have a passing interest in the nfl outside of the bengals but i can't think of the last time anyone had anything good to say about carolina for a while now, before and after Brady. i get not wanting to overvalue the positives of the lsu stint, but i don't know how much accountability he gets for a 1 2/3rds worth of work at a pretty poor franchise. Also, he's with Buffalo rn. You figure if he was such a fraud, that he'd been found out after the carolina gig and would be running some HS team in FL.

Guys like Brady always have work somewhere in the NFL -- especially when you've got someone like Sean Peyton as a reference in your file.

The massive red-flag level concern with Brady is that he's an NFL guy who happened to have 1 (one) year of college success where:

1. He didn't have recruiting responsibilities

2. He didn't really have a "staff" to manage (wasn't an OC/DC -- just a "passing game coordinator")

3. He walked into a situation loaded with NFL talent including some guys on a career trajectory towards Canton.

Nothing about his resume indicates he's HC material, and the history of bringing NFL guys to college is already checkered to begin with.
