Bills Joe Brady add a former NFL Coach John Fox to his staff

The Bills announced their full coaching staff on Friday, Brady’s first since being hired as the team’s new coach. It included one notable name, as former NFL head coach John Fox is joining the staff as a senior assistant coach.

Fox, 71, coached the Panthers, Broncos, and Bears during his lengthy head coaching career, going 133-123 overall. His last job came in 2023, when he was a senior defensive assistant for the Detroit Lions.

Presumably, Fox will not have a sideline role for the Bills. He will be present as a sounding board and guide for Brady, who is dealing with all that comes with transitioning from the role of offensive coordinator to head coach.

 

Bills’ Joe Brady adds a former NFL head coach to his staff

It is what it is.

The Super Bowl winning coach might be the only guy who has guaranteed job security for next season. Otherwise, you could go 0-17 and somehow keep your job or lose in the Divisional Round and get fired. It really comes down to the specific circumstances and the owner. 

That said, definitely would not want to be Aaron Glenn. Being the HC of a bad franchise is a perpetual hot seat because management is going to be impatient and/or incompetent.

I seem to recall Seahawks fans back in the day talking about this guy like we used to talk about Mike Shula. Not sure what to think of this

I recall Seahawks fans were quite happy to see Bevell fired, so... yeah.

I was also going to say that it's hiring someone Canales already knows and whether that's helpful in bringing in new ideas, but then there's the whole deal with how Reich's staff was assembled with people he had less connections with and how that turned out.

Well, that was a game that existed.

Oh, and it sounds like a war zone outside my place right now. Figures.

Let's see the idiot fan get gangpiled. Might be the most entertaining thing that's happened tonight. LOL

Only if that came with a play by play from Kevin Harlan.

Inevitable Maye fumble.

Somewhere John Fox is watching this game and is the most excited he has ever been in his life.

A punt is a good play. Chew gum. Clap.

Over two hours of greatness. Even in his rookie season, you can clearly hear Luke chants by the Raiders games. We knew quickly how special he was.

So many wasted draft picks on receivers. It's nice that we finally got a good one. Great start to a career.

A year late but absolutely deserved regardless. 

There was a Pro Bowl?

I'm sure running an offense older than the bulk of your offensive roster will go over well. 

1. This is a really tough hand. Comes down to what Ickey's agent pushes for. If they insist on that big contract he would've likely earned before injury... we cut our losses now. 

2. His production doesn't really warrant a huge contract. If he does get one, it's likely one we could afford.

3. Unless we get Jerry to bite again, I doubt anyone would want to trade anything for XL. His future is dependent on him getting better and/or future late-round/UDFA guys taking his spot.

4. I'm very much into drafting OL's every single draft. Ideally, a new LT/C but any Big Ugly with starter potential is welcome, especially if it helps us replace someone a lot more expensive.

5. Lean towards using draft picks. 

6. Can't put all our eggs in the Brooks basket. Personally, if we get another back with a late round draft pick or as a UDFA, I'd like someone with a good set of hands.

Jets might hire Reich, he hasn’t had a good offense in years.

Endless hook routes and screens that get absolutely blown up? Have Jets fans not suffered enough?

There is only one correct response...

Nah, nah, don't give me this revisionist bull. There were those that saw Darnold as a bridge QB back in 22, but that was more in the minority. People here generally wanted him gone. 

I'm not going to write off the Patriots because that's exactly what happened a long time ago with Brady's first SB appearance. Not saying Maye is Brady, but if the Pats D turns Darnold into a pumpkin and they very well can, Seahawks will be in real trouble.

Did McVay just do a Payton by not kicking the FG when he should've?

So envious that the Rams pass catches can actually create YAC on their own.

Saving grace for the Seahawks is that bad Darnold hasn't really shown up yet.

The same guy who committed the idiotic penalty is the same guy that gets beat for a touchdown. Damn.

I'd say that's ballgame if it wasn't the Rams.

Nacua's a cheat code.

Mike McCarthy...

Well, that whole deal of only having x number of coaches over y years is going to be tested, especially with not really having a viable QB.

Payton not kicking that field goal early cost them the game. At least there's that positive.
