ESPN NFL insider predicts Jaguars next head coach

ESPN’s NFL insider Dan Graziano recently took a swing at predicting who the Jacksonville Jaguars’ next head coach is going to be.

Compared to the rumors and buzz that we’ve heard over the last week, this selection seems to go a bit off-script.

So who did Graziano select? Current Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

“Brady has rebuilt the Bills’ offense into a bully and has Buffalo positioned for a potential Super Bowl run,” wrote Graziano. “Only the Lions score more than his Bills offense (29.5 points per game). And Brady has had NFL teams’ attention in several recent head coach cycles.”

As Graziano notes, the Bills’ offense has been a force this season and done so both on the ground and through the air ranking top-10 in yards per rush and yards per pass in 2024.

This season is Brady’s first as the Bills’ full-time offensive coordinator. After being the quarterback coach previously, he moved into the interim offensive coordinator role during the 2023 season.

Brady has also previously held the offensive coordinator title with the Carolina Panthers during the 2020-2021 seasons.

“He’s been fantastic,” Josh Allen said of Brady recently via NFL.com. “You know, coming into that situation last year… It’s not easy to switch play-callers midyear, and he came in and from that day on, if you look at our splits, our success that we’ve had as a team, it’s noticeable.”

In an interview with the Bills’ team site last offseason, Brady said it’s all about tailoring the offense to Josh Allen so that the play calls reflect his strengths. One would think that a similar approach would be taken with Trevor Lawrence.

Graziano also predicted that Ben Johnson laded with the Raiders and Aaron Glenn with the Saints.
