Coaching changes
Buffalo also had its share of coaching changes this offseason. Interim offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, was promoted to the position full time going forward.
“Number one, was his relationship and rapport with our quarterback,” said head coach Sean McDermott of the decision to name Brady his permanent OC. “Second was the collaboration that Joe was able to establish with the offensive staff in a short amount of time. Three were the results that we were able to get.”
Buffalo went 6-1 over the last seven games of the regular season in which Brady ran the offense. Set to help him on that side of the ball is new quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry, with whom Brady previously worked in New Orleans when they were both offensive assistants.
Atop the changes on the defensive side of the ball was the elevation of linebackers coach Bobby Babich to defensive coordinator. Though the play calling responsibilities haven’t been finalized yet, defensive players for the Bills were fully supportive of the promotion.
“He’s the type of guy that you can feel his energy,” said Taylor Rapp. “The first time I really spent time with him was during OTAs and his energy is just unmatched. Now with the promotion becoming the defensive coordinator, I’m looking forward to working a little more closely with him from this dynamic.”
Also promoted was Assistant defensive line coach, Marcus West, who will now serve as Defensive line coach.
“Marcus is a very smart, smart man in how he approaches the game,” said Da’Quan Jones. “He takes it a step further, if you will, as far as just understanding what you’re going to get. And really knowing situational football there, it’s going to help. He knows our group a lot and to be able to pull us up from those situations and be able to execute a little better in crunch time.”
