No matter how it works out going forward, Brady will have better opportunities next year.

With Josh Allen at QB, he'll have more opportunities next year.

Tell that to Bobby Slowik......of course Stroud is no Josh Allen.

 

Glad he will be around at least one more year!!

I read this and my first thought was he wasn’t traveling to Kansas City. 
 

The pressure is getting to me. 

Me too.

Darn it, was hoping he was going to lead the Saints next year and the Bills would bring back Dorsey for a second go round.

 

Oh well, maybe next year?

 

Hopefully Brady doesn't do what Ben Johnson did and pass on head coach positions two years in a row. 

[Drew21PA]

Get one this year and next year now - let’s go!!!!

My sarcasm meter is beeping strongly on this one......

Nice!

 

Goes to show how great the culture is here that he’d opt out of serious consideration for an NFL head coaching gig.

 

But Tyler Dunne told me that McDermott is a tyrant who micromanages his subordinate coaches who all hated him and wanted to leave.

I am never sarcastic.

 

BUT, some supporters of Brady would say this is amazing, and surprising news, and grreat karma heading into the AFC Championship game tomorrow. 

 

I have even heard of one poster who is literally crossing off the head coaching positions as they have been filled this past week, and praying that the 2nd interview in New Orleans did not mean it was a done deal.  Homer!

Great news and what I expected given the type of jobs that were open.  
 

Personally, I think he will be the Bengals new HC entering 2026 or possible the Bills new HC if Buffalo doesn’t at least reach the SB this year or next…but FWIW I fully expect to make the SB this year.

 

I have a hard time seeing Buffalo open up the new stadium without some change if we still haven’t gotten over the hump and played in the big game.  

Given the Sabres issues, and the finances related to the new stadium and part-owners, I think Pegula will stick with McDermott as long as the Bills are having success. The fact that there is an all-time-level dynasty in their way buys further patience. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I am glad this is the case, as the success we’ve seen is encouraging and consistency will hopefully only make this success continue. 
 

That said, if he had left, I wouldn’t have broken up about it. I think the best thing he’s done here is found a competent and reliable ground game. The passing offense still seems a bit predicable and basic. Yes, he is limited by talent at the boundary but has plenty to work with otherwise. 
 

At the end of the day, we’ll have Josh Allen under center. That means we’ll be just fine. 

[stevestojan]

Glad he’s staying. 

Sends a message to the team at an important time. 

What I hate is that any of his time was spent in job interviews during this playoff run. Not his fault, but the process needs to change to where all teams have to wait until after the SB to start interviews. 

[WotAGuy]

No self-respecting man pulls out, I’m sorry. 

[H2o]

Glad to have our staff intact. Joe's concepts mesh well with the personnel we have. Josh also likes and trusts him. I think the entire offense is fired up by this news. 

[ColoradoBills]

Smart move by Brady.  He will be in huge demand after 2 Super Bowl wins.

[GaryPinC]

I think it's wise of him.  You know he got promoted to OC on the fly last year, focused on that and settled in this year.  Next year he can devote some time to learning the ropes of HC from McDermott so he's more prepared to hit the ground as a HC after next season.

Only 24 hours until we want to fire him in the GDT but until then, yay! 

I need a despair poster that says something to the effect: "It might just be your place in life to get blocked on a message board" for some folks.

[Chugga]

Love the fact that he’s staying.  That being said it isn’t just because he loves the Bills.  It’s also a zero risk situation.

 

He is the OC for a team with a generational talent at QB.  His offense isn’t going to randomly collapse and take him out of the running for jobs next year.  The potential Bengals, Dolphins, and Falcons jobs are way more attractive than what he had left for options this year.  More talented OCs should take the Ben Johnson approach and wait for an opening where your skills can shine.  And maybe win a couple SBs as a coordinator in the meantime.

[DrDawkinstein]

Just saw this and ran to my laptop to get on the board...

 

 

***** YEEEESSSSSSSS!!! LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!

 

This is it! Super Bowl, here we come.
