Fired less than a year after landing HC interviews, Joe Brady has a chance to land a job on Matt Eberflus‘ Bears staff. The former Carolina OC is interviewing for a job with Chicago, Albert Breer of SI.com tweets.
The Bears have already hired an offensive coordinator, former Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy, so Brady’s interview is for another position. Considering where Brady was positioned coming out of LSU and again after his first Panthers season, when he landed five HC interviews during the 2021 hiring period, this would be an interesting move.
The Bears represent Brady’s first known connection to a team since the Panthers fired him. Despite being the point man behind Joe Burrow‘s record-setting LSU season in 2019, Brady wants to remain in the NFL.
Brady, 32, would certainly represent a notable addition to a coaching staff whose top priority will be developing Justin Fields into a franchise-caliber quarterback. Next season will be Getsy’s first NFL offensive coordinator job, but he was Mississippi State’s OC in 2018. Brady has three seasons of OC experience.
Matt Rhule fired Brady during the Panthers’ December bye week, with the move coming amid a quarterback crisis that led to Rhule’s job being in jeopardy by season’s end. The Panthers dropped from 21st to 30th in total offense last season, with Sam Darnold and Cam Newton‘s struggles playing the main role in the decline.
Whichever team gets Brady is going to he super lucky!!
Hopefully the Dolphims hire McDonald from the 49ers, and Brady joins Kyle. Those two together could be EPIC!! lol
This guy is going to be a good OC, but he needs another year or two not calling plays. Gets way too pass happy.
Well Georgie, this may be the smartest hire you could make. I can’t wait to see how you screw this up. And you will. I’m sure
I see Brady went to Buffalo. You proved me right Georgie. You screwed this up. THANKS
Narrow fan view. If you were Brady with connections to both teams and you are trying to rehabilitate your image, which team and QB would you pick? Brady probably made a wise career move.
