The Bills promoted Joe Brady to head coach Tuesday, giving him a five-year deal. It’s a massive rise for Brady, who came to the Bills in 2022 as the team’s quarterbacks coach, was promoted to interim offensive coordinator late in the 2023 season, got the full-time job in 2024 and then held that until his promotion to head coach for the 2026 season.

Buffalo’s search committee was impressed with the offensive coordinator’s vision for the job. Plus, the Browns hire a coach, while Raiders search for one.
