Theres no way another NFL team trusts him run an offense on his own at this point. I think he’s going back to college for awhile. It’s possible that he could completely wash out and 5 years from now will look like one of the worst hires this franchise has ever made (next to Rhule and george seifert).

I think Joe Brady will be fine.  Someone will hire him that has the talent to throw the ball around.   Which Carolina never did.   It was never a pairing that made sense given how horrible our OL was, how bad our QBs were and how inexperienced Brady was.

I get the sense that GMs might look at his stint here and think that our offensive problems weren't all his fault and give him another chance. I'm thinking maybe the Eagles give him a shot.

I try to be level headed and not evaluate from an emotional standpoint. His QBs here have been Sam Darnold and Teddy Bridgewater. I wouldn't categorize either as good. Both in terms of league standing are in the bottom half. His best offensive weapon is injury prone. The line we have given him to work with is below average. I believe a lot of intelligent franchises and colleges are going to give him a look as an OC again because its very easy to look at what he had to work with here consistently and come to the conclusion it would have been difficult for any OC to come in here with what's gone on and make things go great. 

There's always a few people in the gameday threads who note that there are open players on plays and our QBs are missing reads or making poor throws. He can call the perfect play and if the players don't execute it the fanbase chalks it up to his playcalling. He can call a dogshit designed play and it work out and the masses think he called some magical play. 

The players are put in positions to succeed and our poor QB play week in and week out is the biggest reason why the play calling looks poor. People hated his red zone play calling and then this season when everyone was healthy we were amazing in the red zone before the wheels fell off where Sam shat the bed and Christian became dead. Then we get Cam in here and the last three weeks with him we've been the 7th best team in the red zone again. 

There's pieces there that other teams will look at and see why its hard to judge what happened here. And I am sure he will make the excuse when interviewing that Rhule is a college coach, there needed to be adjustments, they drafted basically all defense while I was here, they gave me Teddy and Sam to work with, etc. 

But he is gone now from here and not in the running to have a job here going forward so we should move on.

He's a college guy going back to college.

I also foresee the big schools passing on him given his most recent stint.

But maybe it's one who wants to take a gamble and return to notoriety: Virginia Tech

That job was filled before Brady got fired by a much better coach.

I tend to agree with this. But I also think Brady ascended the ladder way too quickly and probably needs to take a step back before he takes another step forward. But he will probably get another OC job if not higher.

It wouldn't surprise me to see him back with the Saints in some capacity. He was well liked there and taking a step or two back down the ladder would probably be a good idea for his long-term career prospects.

Also, while I would agree he had some deficient players, the truth is Brady wasn't very good at what he did either. For example, remember Robby Anderson pointing out that he had some obvious opportunities for adjustments and didn't call them.

Coming up with a scheme is relatively easy (hell, Mike Shula can do that). It's knowing how to implement it and adjust on the fly that makes a truly great OC.

Brady wasn't up to it.

Truthfully, Brady was a case of getting a job too fast too soon and winding up in over his head, which is ironic given that the same can be said of the head coach who hired him.

That's the problem with what Rhule put together.   None of it makes sense.  Joe Brady is a super green OC.  Joe Brady would have made sense with a veteran QB.  A good one.   That allows Joe Brady to grow in his role and develop.    Joe Brady is a project. 

Joe Brady wasn't suppsoe to be good yet.   Sean Payton wasn't a good playcaller 2 years into his OC career in the NFL. 

But pairing Joe Brady with Sam Darnold and a bad OL? Well, Matt Rhule got the predictable results.  Everyone can't be a project.  Yet, the QB, OL and OC all were projects.

Brady is like a lot of other young offensive minds in that he benefited greatly, but not necessarily deservedly, from the success of Sean McVay.

Ever since McVay hit it big, you've had teams throwing jobs at young guys with little experience and or seasoning hoping that lightning will strike again.

Nine times out of ten it hasn't, but we've still got people advocating that same MO.

      (Potential) Top 2026 HC Candidates

      Made this list after viewing multiple articles. First thoughts: Would remove Bill, Arthur, and Josh McCown I already took out Deion and replaced him with Dan Lanning.

      (Potential) Top 2026 HC Candidates

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Note: List is not in order of best-least   Inactive former head coaches Mike McCarthy He doesn't get enough credit for what he's done with the Packers (especially early on) and the Cowboys. His current ceiling might not be the highest, but he's won a Super Bowl and is a respected name to stabilize a franchise. Jon Gruden Gruden left the NFL on bad terms and is trying to regain the respect of some around (and outside of) the league.   Offensive coordinators Joe Brady, Buffalo Bills The Bills' offense undoubtedly got better since Brady took over, and his name is as hot right now as it was when he took over the Panthers' OC job in 2020. He's a part of the process to make Josh Allen, already an elite quarterback, into the MVP he has been. Todd Monken, Baltimore Ravens Monken was close to the top of last year's list, and he deserves credit for making Lamar Jackson an even better passing quarterback.  Mike Kafka, New York Giants Kafka has been mentioned as a future head coach for around four years now, even though the lack of collective success in New York doesn't help. Last year, he was promoted to assistant head coach in addition to his OC title to elevate his status. Kliff Kingsbury, Washington Commanders Kingsbury had a four-year stint as the Cardinals head coach, with limited success. However, he's at a different moment of his career, and the performance with the Commanders' offense is notable. John Morton, Detroit Lions The Lions lost Ben Johnson, and John Morton has done a good job early on to replace him, as the Lions still sit among the best offenses in the NFL. Josh McCown, Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach McCown is the only position coach in this year's list, and that's because he's been mentioned as a future head coach since he finished his playing days. He's had HC interviews. Josh Grizzard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Bucs have lost their OC to HC jobs two years in a row, with Panthers' Dave Canales and Jaguars' Liam Coen. And the offense is still a top 10 unit, which almost automatically puts Grizzard in the conversation. Arthur Smith, Pittsburgh Steelers Smith had a three-year stint with the Falcons, and it didn't go great. But he's a sharp offensive mind, and if he can take the most out of the Aaron Rodgers experience in Pittsburgh, his name will be around. Klint Kubiak, Seattle Seahawks Kubiak had a fast start with the Saints last year, but one he couldn't sustain due to multiple injuries throughout the roster—which included quarterback Derek Carr. This year, he's elevated the Seahawks' offense with Sam Darnold at quarterback, and his background under Kyle Shanahan and his dad Gary Kubiak is an interesting element.   Defensive coordinators Jesse Minter, Los Angeles Chargers With a top 5 defense, Minter is one of the hottest names in this cycle. He's still relatively young at 42, has strong NFL and college coaching experience, and his leadership style is impressive—learning behind Jim Harbaugh certainly helps. Brian Flores, Minnesota Vikings As a defensive mind, Flores is as good as anyone in the NFL. He would have to answer some questions about his failed time with the Dolphins as a head coach, but he's so consistently good at DC that new opportunities should arise. Jeff Hafley, Green Bay Packers A former college head coach at Boston College, Hafley has transformed the Packers' defense after failed experiences with previous coordinators. He's a great defensive mind and an excellent communicator. Robert Saleh, San Francisco 49ers Saleh's tenure with the Jets was bad, but it's hard to blame him too much. His defenses will always be at least solid, and a more stable franchise could offer him a better shot. Jim Schwartz, Cleveland Browns Schwartz is that type of DC that has already been a head coach a long time ago (Lions, between 2009 and 2013), and it feels like he's satisfied being a coordinator. But he's been so successful with the Browns that he at least deserves to be mentioned. Anthony Campanile, Jacksonville Jaguars Campanile was highly respected during his time with the Dolphins and Packers, and now he's making the most out of his early stages as the Jaguars DC. He's considered a strong leader. Vance Joseph, Denver Broncos Joseph had a failed stint as the Broncos head coach, but he's so respected that the franchise hired him back as a DC. And he's done an excellent job in this area. Chris Shula, Los Angeles Rams Sean McVay's coaching tree is as good as there is, and Shula has been with the Rams since McVay's original coaching staff was built in 2017. He's been promoted five times, including to DC in 2024. He's made the most out of a young defensive group.   College coaches Bill Belichick, North Carolina Nobody in the NFL wanted Belichick in 2024 and 2025, but that could always change if a franchise wants a strong leader for a short period of time. Steve Sarkisian, Texas Multiple college coaches are wanting to make the transition to the NFL, and Sarkisian could be the next one. His most recent NFL experience was as the Falcons offensive coordinator between 2017 and 2018. Matt Campbell, Iowa State Perceived as a program builder, Campbell has been mentioned as a potential NFL coach for years now. Lincoln Riley, USC Riley helped develop three first overall pick quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Caleb Williams, so the blueprint of what he could do is there. Developing passers is his calling card. Ryan Day, Ohio State Day has had a lot of success in college, including a national championship in 2024. And he has experience in the NFL as a quarterbacks coach for the Eagles and 49ers under Chip Kelly. Dan Lanning, Oregon Head coach Dan Lanning has done a tremendous job with this football program. He has been the head coach since the 2022 season. Oregon went undefeated during the regular season last year and has a chance to lead them to another one this season. What are the odds that Lanning could potentially be getting interesting from other NFL teams this offseason?
