The Atlanta Falcons have interviewed nine candidates for their head coaching vacancy and don’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Falcons are expected to interview Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady on Sunday.
Brady joined the Bills coaching staff in 2022 and spent two years as the quarterbacks coach. In 2024, Brady was promoted to offensive coordinator and helped quarterback Josh Allen secure the league MVP award last year.
Buffalo finished third in total points this season (28.3 per game) and fourth in total yards per game (376.3). The Bills defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round and will take on the Denver Broncos this Saturday in the divisional round.
Prior to coming to Buffalo, Brady spent two years in the NFC South as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. He also spent two years with the New Orleans Saints as an offensive assistant (2017-2018).
