‘Not happening;’ Joe Brady denies rumors that he will be next Oregon OC
Over the past few days, momentum has started to build around the idea that the Oregon Ducks would be hiring Joe Brady, the Buffalo Bills quarterbacks coach, as their next offensive coordinator.
On Saturday morning, that rumor picked up steam as a Twitter report came out with the news that Brady was poised to accept the job with Oregon, barring a head coaching job elsewhere. That threw Duck fans into a frenzy, going a long way to confirm their suspicions that Brady would be the next guy.
However, you have to be careful with who you trust. Later on Saturday morning, well-respected FOX Sports college football analyst Bruce Feldman set the record straight, saying that he had spoken with Brady and been told that the rumors were not true.
There's a report out there this morning that Bills QB coach Joe Brady, the former LSU passing game coordinator, is positioned to accept an offer to become Oregon's OC. He told me it's NOT true: "Not happening."

In 2019, Brady was the passing game coordinator for the championship-winning LSU Tigers, led by Joe Burrow and one of the best offenses in college football history. Brady won the Broyles Award in 2019, given to the top assistant coach in the nation. After that, Brady served as both the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, and he now serves as the quarterbacks coach for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills are now in the midst of a playoff run and considered one of the top Super Bowl favorites, which complicates Brady’s perceived path to Oregon.
While we still don’t know who the next OC will be for the Ducks, it appears that Brady will not be the guy. We will likely find out who the next guy is in the coming day or two.
