Overview

  • The team confirmed Tuesday that Joe Brady has been elevated to head coach with a five-year contract.
  • At 36, Brady becomes the NFL’s youngest active head coach.
  • Brady rose from quarterbacks coach to interim and then full-time offensive coordinator, helping Josh Allen win the 2024 MVP and guiding a top-four offense in 2025.
  • Owner Terry Pegula cited a “proverbial playoff wall” in dismissing Sean McDermott, who went 98–50 in the regular season and 8–8 in the playoffs.
  • The search, led by Brandon Beane with input from Allen, included external candidates, though the late start limited access to assistants still coaching in the playoffs.
