The Ravens’ head coaching search continues to take shape, and their latest interview brings another intriguing name into the mix: Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

It’s a wide-ranging and diverse pool, featuring a mix of seasoned defensive minds, up-and-coming offensive schemers, and a few former head coaches. Brady fits into the offensive innovator category - and his resume, while still relatively young, is packed with big-time experience and rapid ascension.
Brady’s coaching journey began in 2013 at William & Mary, where he started on the defensive side as a linebackers coach. From there, he moved into a graduate assistant role at Penn State before jumping to the NFL with the Saints, where he spent two seasons as an offensive assistant. That stint in New Orleans helped shape his offensive philosophy, and it wasn’t long before he found himself at the center of one of the most explosive college offenses in recent memory.
In 2019, LSU brought Brady in as their passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach - and the results were nothing short of historic. That Tigers offense, led by Joe Burrow, lit up the scoreboard on the way to a national title, and Brady’s stock soared. He parlayed that success into an offensive coordinator role with the Panthers, though his time in Carolina was cut short during his second season.
After a brief reset, the Bills brought Brady aboard in 2022 as their quarterbacks coach. When Buffalo made a midseason change at offensive coordinator a few years later, Brady stepped in - and the offense responded in a big way.
In 2025, the Bills ranked fourth in both total yards and points scored, led the league in rushing, and came in 15th in passing yards. That balance speaks volumes about Brady’s adaptability and willingness to lean into what works. In a league where many coordinators chase the passing game at all costs, Brady helped craft an offense that could dominate on the ground while still keeping defenses honest through the air.
For the Ravens, who’ve long been built around a strong run game and dynamic quarterback play, Brady’s approach could be a natural fit. His track record shows he’s capable of tailoring an offense to his personnel - and that’s exactly what Baltimore will need moving forward.
With interviews still ongoing, the Ravens are casting a wide net. But Joe Brady’s name is one to watch.
He’s young, creative, and has already shown he can command the room at the highest level. Whether or not he lands the job in Baltimore, it’s clear he’s firmly in the mix for a top spot - and his rise through the coaching ranks doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
