The Buffalo Bills are still dealing with the fallout of head coach Sean McDermott being fired. As of the time of publication, there has been no word on any official meetings with any potential candidates for perhaps the hottest position in football. With quarterback Josh Allen at the helm, Buffalo has one of the most intriguing openings in all of sports.

Despite the flash that Allen brings to anyone who might consider joining Buffalo, it looks like Allen could lose the coach who helped him win his first-ever MVP: Joe Brady.

Joe Brady is getting plenty of interest from across the league

Brady has been the offensive coordinator for Buffalo since taking over duties from Ken Dorsey, leading one of the best offenses in the entire NFL. To no one’s surprise, there are plenty of suitors who want Brady to be their next head coach.

The latest news doesn’t fare well for fans who are hoping Brady might come back to Buffalo. He’s a young, talented offensive mind who perhaps throws in too many bubble screens into the gameplan. Outside of that, he’s been great.

Mike Garafolo reported that the Arizona Cardinals are interviewing Brady for their head coaching job. Not only that, but Brady has a second interview coming up with the Ravens and spoke to both the Raiders and the Falcons as well. While Buffalo might be a hot team, Brady’s getting plenty of interest around the league for a potential head coaching position.

The Buffalo Bills have plenty of work to do this offseason

With a new coach entering the building, that comes with some changes. It’s not only Brady that the team is most likely going to have to replace, it’s a chunk of the remaining staff who were McDermott hires. Brady could be just the first of many dominoes to fall in Buffalo, leaving plenty of questions and positions to fill this offseason both on the field and inside the front office.

Now, there is a chance that Brady could become the team’s next head coach, but it’s not a decision that I see coming. Though I have been wrong before. I never in a million years thought the team would trade Stefon Diggs and take on that much dead cap, or that they would fire McDermott. Still, I just don’t see Brady being Buffalo’s next head coach.

Either way, the clock is ticking. Buffalo is entering one of its most pivotal offseasons of the Allen era, and stability may once again be a luxury rather than a given. Whether Brady stays or goes, the Bills are staring down a summer of massive decisions that will shape the next chapter of the franchise, one that fans hope will bring the first-ever Lombardi Trophy to Western New York.
