Report: Bills OC Brady withdraws from Saints' coaching search
Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has withdrawn from the New Orlean Saints’ head coaching search, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Brady is electing to stay in Buffalo as offensive coordinator for another season, Rapoport reports. He had already completed his first virtual interview with the Saints.
New Orleans is currently the only team with a head coaching vacancy. The Saints had a second interview with New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka on Saturday and plan on meeting with former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Brady has helped build the Bills’ offense into one of the strongest in the league. Buffalo ranked second in average points per game and ninth in average passing yards per contest in 2024. The Bills finished 13-4 and were ranked second in the AFC.
The Saints, in contrast, were one of the weakest teams in the league and fired head coach Dennis Allen after the team started 2-7. New Orleans finished 5-12 under interim coach Darren Rizzi and was last in the NFC South.
Brady and the Bills will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC conference championship Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
