Over the weekend, it was announced that Buffalo hired one of the hottest names in the DC market, Jim Leonhard. Leonhard spent the last two seasons with the Denver Broncos, starting as their Defensive Backs Coach and Pass Game Coordinator before being promoted to their Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Pass Game Coordinator in 2025.

The Buffalo Bills announced Tuesday morning that they will promote Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady to Head Coach. The 36-year-old play caller moved from Quarterbacks Coach to interim Offensive Coordinator, to full-time Offensive Coordinator, and is now the 21st Head Coach in organization history.

Unfortunately, many will remember him for his 8-8 playoff record and for not getting to the Super Bowl. Instead, I, like many Bills fans, will remember him for taking an organization that was a running punchline and turning it into a perennial contender with a culture that made Buffalo a destination, not a punishment for NFL free agents.
