Payton Praises Ex-Assistant Brady's Bills Coaching Leap
26 Feb
Summary
- Payton expressed confidence in Joe Brady's coaching abilities.
- Brady previously worked under Sean Payton in New Orleans.
- Brady takes over the Bills following McDermott's dismissal.
Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos, has offered strong praise for Joe Brady, the newly appointed head coach of the Buffalo Bills. Brady, who previously served on Payton's staff with the New Orleans Saints, has transitioned to lead the Bills.
Payton recalled Brady's tenure with the Saints, noting his "RPO ideas" and contributions from his college coaching background. He expressed excitement for Brady's NFL head coaching role, acknowledging his prior success, including a national championship at LSU. Payton also mentioned hiring two of his assistants, Pete Carmichael and Jim Leonhard, to coordinate the Bills' offense and defense, respectively.
Brady steps into the head coaching position with significant expectations. This comes after the Bills parted ways with Sean McDermott, who had led the team to the playoffs eight times in nine seasons but failed to secure a Super Bowl appearance. The pressure on Brady to achieve immediate success is considerable.
