The Buffalo Bills promoted Joe Brady as the head coach on Tuesday. He replaced former HC Sean McDermott and became the current youngest head coach in the league. The Buffalo Bills recently shared a picture of the newly appointed HC on social media, and it’s safe to say that the update is drawing a lot of attention already.

“Shorts weather,” posted the Buffalo Bills on X.

The picture highlighted Brady running in a black t-shirt and black shorts on a chilly winter night at Orchard Park. The ground was covered with snow, and the temperature was 12 degrees.

Before the team appointed Joe Brady as their new HC, the Buffalo Bills president had revealed that quarterback Josh Allen played a major role in hiring the next head coach, following McDermott’s firing.

“The starting quarterback will be part of the team to help select a new coach,” said Pegula. “He’s going to be working with us.”

The Bills hired McDermott in 2017, and the following year, he drafted Allen. It began the McDermott-Allen era in Buffalo. After his hiring as the HC, McDermott ended the 17-year playoff drought, subsequently making it to the playoffs eight times in nine years. However, the duo never managed to attain a key to the Super Bowl. Although it was one of the most successful eras in Buffalo, it still falls short of Jim Kelly’s era. Kelly led the franchise to four consecutive Super Bowls in the 1990s, despite not winning any.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, the pressure on Allen is now more than ever. He played a big part in Brady’s selection, and now he is left without any excuses. Allen has been working under Brady since 2022. For the first two seasons, Brady was the quarterbacks coach before getting promoted to offensive coordinator. So, there’s a compatibility between them.

“Love him like a brother,” said Allen after he offered a vote of confidence to Brady following the loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 10. “He’s been awesome for my career.”

Likewise, Allen won his first NFL MVP in 2024 under his tutelage, while he was a finalist for the AP Assistant Coach of the Year.

The two-time All-Pro has got his wish fulfilled. Now that the Pro Bowler prepares to start under Brady as the HC, he has no excuses but to win that Lombardi Trophy. The quarterback has given his vote to the new HC, but the Bills Mafia is walking a different path.

Bills fans don’t seem happy with Joe Brady’s hiring as the HC

Brady, as the HC, did not sit well with the fans. Most of the “first day in the office” pictures of Joe Brady were him behind the desk and working on his laptop. Despite it, the picture of him jogging on snow stood out the most. Likewise, the fans did not let the opportunity pass and spoke out about their opinions on the newly appointed head coach.

“It is warm today,” a fan wrote. It is probably true for the new head coach, after he landed a five-year contract.

The hilarious takes on the picture kept coming. “Admin seems manic this morning,” another one commented.

Another one wrote, “Just because he’s dumb doesn’t make him cool.” Well, that’s certainly an interesting look at the situation.

Coming out of the hilarious takes, people also praised him. They felt that he was upholding the Buffalonian nature. “And people hating on this dude, true Buffalonian,” wrote a fan.

It was Brady’s first day, but the fans are not convinced that he knows the serious situation that he is in. “This is so unserious,” said a fan.

Under Brady, the Bills’ offense ranked one of the best in the league. Since getting promoted to the offensive coordinator, the franchise averaged 29.6 points per game (2nd), 367.7 total yards per game (3rd), and 145.4 rushing yards per game (3rd). That is not all. Since 2024, the Bills rank 1st in EPA/play, 2nd in success rate, 2nd in EPA/dropback, and 1st in EPA/rush.

While the metrics favor Brady, the fans are still not convinced of the executives’ decision. Ultimately, it all comes down to winning the Super Bowl. Unless he achieves the ultimate prize, they probably won’t stop walking the different path.
