The New Orleans Saints are intensifying their head coaching search as they reportedly bring Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady in for a second interview.
The Saints, still seeking stability since Drew Brees’ retirement, view Brady as a promising candidate to revitalize their offense.
Brady’s LSU Glory
Brady gained national attention as the passing game coordinator for LSU’s historic 2019 championship team, featuring record-setting performances from Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, and Ja’Marr Chase. Under his guidance, the Tigers’ offense amassed over 8,000 yards, cementing his reputation as an offensive innovator.
NFL Experience
After LSU, Brady joined the Carolina Panthers as offensive coordinator but struggled in a tumultuous tenure. He later found success with the Bills, where he transitioned from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, improving the team’s offensive balance and effectiveness. His approach reduced the strain on quarterback Josh Allen by emphasizing the run game, leading to the NFL’s second-highest scoring offense in 2024.
Impact for New Orleans
The Saints need a leader to rejuvenate their underwhelming offense and prepare for a potential quarterback transition. Brady’s history of working with elite talents like Burrow and Allen positions him as a strong candidate to guide the team into a new era.
