Joe Brady takes over as head coach of the Bills amid high expectations

Joe Brady has been named the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills as of August 11, 2026. With the team having won 12 games last season and the expectation to win a Super Bowl, Brady faces significant pressure to succeed. The Bills' management moved on from former coach Sean McDermott following a playoff loss to Denver, citing the emotional impact on quarterback Josh Allen as a pivotal factor in the decision. Brady, who previously served as the offensive coordinator, is prepared to take on the challenge, aiming to elevate Buffalo's postseason performance, which has seen consistent regular-season success but limited playoff advancements.
