Potential OC targets for new Bills HC Joe Brady

Ronald Curry (Bills quarterbacks coach)

Another in-house promotion? Why not. 

Curry has a prior history with Brady from their time together as offensive assistants with the New Orleans Saints (2017-18). He's been part of the Bills QB room since 2024. Maintaining staff continuity would minimize disruption.

Pete Carmichael Jr. (Broncos senior offensive assistant)

With 15+ years as an OC for the Saints, Carmichael would bring extensive experience that could allow Brady to delegate play-calling duties if he chooses to do so. This would be a veteran option with deep ties to Brady from their overlapping time in New Orleans (2017-18), where Brady was an offensive assistant under Sean Payton. 

Jake Peetz (Seahawks pass game coordinator)

Peetz is generating a lot of conversations throughout the NFL. He has spent the past two seasons as the passing game coordinator under Klint Kubiak, who is a potential head-coaching candidate. The rising candidate also spent the 2020 season as Brady's quarterbacks coach with the Panthers. More familiarity for the first-time head coach.

Nate Scheelhaase (Rams pass game coordinator)

Scheelhaase would be a huge addition for Brady and QB Josh Allen, who was actually linked to the Bills and Browns in discussions about their head-coaching opening. He's experienced with the modern passing game, having worked in environments that emphasize efficiency and explosive plays under Sean McVay. He could add a layer of creativity to the passing attack without overhauling the core run identity. If the Bills want an external voice with fresh ideas, he's a name to watch. 

Josh McCown ( Vikings quarterbacks coach)

Not a highly discussed name around league circles, but was part of reinventing Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones. He aligns well with Allen's style, and he's viewed as a high-upside mind who could serve as a mentor/coordinator hybrid. Could this be his first opportunity at offensive coordinator?
