Payton hired Brady as an offensive assistant in New Orleans back in 2017. It was Brady's first NFL coaching gig, lasing two seasons. Brady would move on to LSU, followed by a couple-year stint with the Carolina Panthers, before landing in Buffalo as an assistant, and working his way up to offensive coordinator. And now head coach.

Football fans weighed in Tuesday after the Buffalo Bills promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to their vacant head coaching position.

One week after firing Sean McDermott, the Bills have found their new head coach in Joe Brady, who previously was the team's offensive coordinator.

Denver Broncos assistant head coach Jim Leonhard is receiving interest from two AFC playoff teams for their vacant defensive coordinator positions.
