The Baltimore Ravens are making a bold move in their search for a new head coach, and it's causing a stir in the NFL! They've set their sights on Joe Brady, the offensive coordinator of their AFC East rivals, the Buffalo Bills. But here's where it gets intriguing: Brady's coaching journey has been a rollercoaster, leaving many wondering if he's the right fit for the Ravens' top job.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Ravens have requested an interview with the 36-year-old Brady, who has been with the Bills since 2022. He started as quarterbacks coach and quickly rose to offensive coordinator after the mid-season departure of Ken Dorsey in 2023. Brady's impact was immediate, as the Bills' offense soared to new heights.
Brady's coaching prowess first caught national attention at LSU in 2019. As the passing-game coordinator, he played a pivotal role in the team's CFP national championship win, earning the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. His work with quarterback Joe Burrow was exceptional, leading to Burrow's Heisman Trophy win and a record-breaking season with 60 touchdowns and only six interceptions.
The Panthers quickly snapped up Brady as their offensive coordinator in 2020, but his time there was short-lived. He was fired in 2021, and the Panthers' struggles continued, leading to head coach Matt Rhule's dismissal early in the 2022 season. And this is the part most people miss: Brady's impact on the Bills' offense has been remarkable. In the last two seasons, they've consistently ranked in the top 10 in yards and points, and in 2025, they boasted the league's best rushing offense with James Cook's stellar performance.
Quarterback Josh Allen thrived under Brady's guidance, winning his first AP MVP award in 2024. But the question remains: Is Brady's success with the Bills enough to warrant a head coaching role? The Ravens seem to think so, but only time will tell if this controversial choice pays off.
