Josh Allen Gives Honest Assessment of Bills Coach Joe Brady Ahead of Season

As the 2026-27 NFL season approaches, former offensive coordinator Joe Brady will assume the role of head coach for the Buffalo Bills. During a recent practice, quarterback Josh Allen shared his honest assessment of Brady's performance in his new position.

Allen remarked, "I think it's been pretty instant. Once he stepped into the role, he became that. He really, truly embodied being the head coach and getting to know guys on the defensive side of the ball, special teams, and guys in the front office." The Bills' star quarterback emphasized that a head coach must wear many hats, and he believes Brady has excelled in managing all aspects of the team while keeping football as the top priority.

Allen has known Brady since their time as the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator together since 2022. Last season, the Bills ranked fourth in the NFL with an average of 376.3 yards of offense per game. Brady was promoted to head coach earlier this year after Sean McDermott was fired in January. McDermott had served as the team's head coach since 2016, and Allen entered the league in 2018 when Buffalo drafted him seventh overall.

With Brady assuming a larger role, Allen explained that he is now more familiar with the other facets of the roster. Based on Allen's comments, the transition appears to be progressing smoothly. Allen's primary objective has been to reach a Super Bowl, and it remains to be seen if Brady can fulfill that ambition for the superstar quarterback.

The previous season ended with McDermott's final campaign with Allen, resulting in a 12-5 record. Despite the Bills appearing capable of reaching the Super Bowl in the postseason, they fell short, losing in an AFC Divisional Round overtime game to the Denver Broncos.
