A little background on Joe Brady

[Mr. Scot]

Weird how sometimes the littlest things can wind up having a big impact. Take the story of how Joe Brady wound up at LSU, for example (from Albert Breer at the MMQB)

Quote

In 2018, LSU asked if Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael or quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi could come talk at a camp. The two were tied up, but because the programs are close, the Saints sent Brady, then a quality-control assistant, over instead. And he was so impressive in giving a speech there that the Tigers hired him a year later.

Now, for their troubles, the Saints get to deal with him in the NFC South.

Nice decision, Saints folks.

Breer also included this brief analysis of Brady as a coach:

Quote

Brady wasn’t the primary play-caller at LSU, but he did import Saints concepts to Baton Rouge, helped make the offense work for Heisman winner Joe Burrow and, after asking around, I can tell you that Brady’s very well-respected by on-the-road scouts who’s job is to know the college ranks.

“He just does a good job of mixing it up, RPOs, play action, it’s a good, versatile offense,” one AFC exec said. “He knows how to flood zones and give his quarterback multiple layers to throw to. And he understands the passing game really well and knows how to marry the run game to it. He gives you a lot of looks and gives the quarterback options.”

One of the best aspects of Sean Payton's game is his play design. Sounds like that'll be true of Brady as well.

Payton also told him not to go to LSU, that it would be a big mistake.

This sounds like innovation and flexibility. As a Panthers fan I’ve almost forgotten what those things are like, but I think I know I want them.

Joe Brady will get a Head Coaching job once he wins a Super Bowl here as OC with Cam

I'm just excited about the possibility of having an innovative, dynamic and unpredictable offense for the first time, um...ever, really.

Looking forward to seeing how it looks on the field.

Is this for sure happening kinda of weird we haven't heard anything or details. Maybe he backs out since Luke retired?

Sucks we will be rebuilding for his tenure with us, doubt he lasts more than 2 years here.

Hopefully he's here long enough to have an internal successor who can keep continuity with his system. I'll be fine with him moving on after a couple years if that happens, since it means he would've been a successful OC.

I imagine this will apply here too.

He'll definitely be the Bengals head coach in two years if he does well here.

So, how does Brady feel now, knowing that the first round pick will be a LB and not a QB?

Yep. and that seems to be recurring theme with Tepper and Rhule's hires. Even if this upcoming season is rough, at least we aren't watching the same show that we have been for the past 18 years.
