For the first time in a decade, Joe Brady has been named head coach of the Buffalo Bills, succeeding Sean McDermott. Brady, who became the team’s offensive coordinator after serving as quarterbacks coach, led Buffalo to impressive offensive rankings, including an MVP season for quarterback Josh Allen. However, the history of NFL teams promoting from within for head coach positions reveals a tendency for mixed success, raising questions about Brady’s future. Notable past promotions include Brian Schottenheimer with a 7-9-1 record and Antonio Pierce at 9-17, highlighting the challenges faced by internally promoted coaches.
