Buffalo Rumblings
Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady isn’t just preparing for the Denver Broncos this weekend, he also has a second head coach interview lined up. After a request to interview for the Baltimore Ravens’ head coach job, Joe Brady has also received a request to interview for the Miami Dolphins head coach job, per the Palm Beach Post.
Brady is from Pembroke Pines, Florida, about 15 miles from the Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium.
During the 2025 offseason, the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Chicago Bears requested interviews with Brady. This year, the Baltimore Ravens have requested an interview.
Because of the timing after the Wild Card round, Brady can’t be interviewed until after the Bills are eliminated of the AFC Championship Game, whichever comes first. If the Bills win Sunday, he can’t interview until January 26th and those can take place until February 1. Because he didn’t interview this week virtually, that interview has to be virtual.
The Bills’ rival, the Miami Dolphins are casting a wide net. The team completed interviews with former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley Wednesday and requested interviews with Brady and Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, too.
The Bills don’t have an obvious in-house replacement for Brady should he get the job. That’s not a dealbreaker, because Brady never worked with McDermott before being hired as QBs coach in 2022. They share a common alma mater in William & Mary College, but were years apart.
Tight ends coach Rob Boras has previous experience as an offensive coordinator with the Jeff Fisher Rams in late 2015 and 2016. He has been with the Bills as TE coach since 2017.
Offensive line coach Aaron Kromer was the Chicago Bears OC in 2013 and 2014, but head coach Marc Trestman called the plays. He has been the OL coach since 2022 when Brain Daboll hired away Bobby Johnson to the New York Giants.
Quarterbacks coach is usually a place where folks look as a stepping stone to the offensive coordinator role. Ronald Curry serves that role and joined Buffalo in 2024 after Brady was promoted to offensive coordinator. Curry was with the Saints from 2016 to 2023, working beside Brady during 2017 and 2018. Despite his time in the system, he was never promoted to offensive coordinator in New Orleans despite heavy turnover there.
Another stepping stone to offensive coordinator is usually passing game coach, but the Bills list Marc Lubick in that role as a “specialist” not “coordinator”. He’s pretty green for the position.
Brian Daboll, Buffalo’s former offensive coordinator, is available after being fired as the New York Giants head coach. It’s unclear if he would return to Buffalo. He has a great relationship with QB Josh Allen, but I never got...
