Joe Brady continues his hot streak with another slam dunk hire in the early stages of his new era in Buffalo
Another solid move from the new head coach.
The Buffalo Bills are wasting no time this offseason. Another day, another key figure joins in new head coach Joe Brady’s version of the team.
Brady’s been busy since his introductory press conference, filling out the staff with some serious experience both in college and the NFL. From new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. to defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, Brady is fueling his identity of the team into every hire.
Ian Rapoport broke the news that the Bills are hiring former Tennessee Titans quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree as the new quarterbacks coach. He was with Tennessee from 2024 to 2025 and will replace Ronald Curry at the position, with Curry being a McDermott hire and Brady looking for a refresh nearly across the board.
The former Titans quarterback coach had desire across the league, both for the quarterbacks coach position and even for some increased roles. Hardegree ultimately chose Buffalo and Brady, opting to work with one of the best quarterbacks in all of football, Josh Allen. He was with Tennessee from 2024 to 2025.
Bo Hardegree has a decorated career in the NFL
Hardegree previously worked and helped mold former No. 1 overall pick quarterback Cam Ward. Ward finished his rookie year with 3169 yards and 15 touchdowns with seven interceptions.
Former Titans coach Brian Callahan relinquished his offensive playcalling duties to Hardegree during the 2025 season, another feather in the cap for the veteran head coach.
Hardegree was with the Las Vegas Raiders from 2022 to 2023, where in 2023 he served as the interim offensive coordinator. He called plays for the Raiders when Josh McDaniels was fired, but when Antonio Pierce was named as the new head coach, he ultimately went with a different offensive coordinator. He has 12 years of experience working with the Denver Broncos (2014), Chicago Bears (2015), Miami Dolphins (2016-2018), New York Jets (2019-2020), and the New England Patriots (2021).
For Brady, it’s another move that checks every box in his tenure thus far. He adds a coach with real NFL play-calling experience and a resume that spans multiple offensive systems.
Most importantly, it reinforces a clear theme emerging at One Bills Drive: Brady isn’t waiting around. He’s aggressively and quickly building a staff designed in hopes of maximizing Josh Allen and modernizing the offense. So far, it’s hard to poke holes in the vision.
