Former Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady wants to stay in the NFL, has received word from the teams, sources say
Joe Brady, who was fired last Sunday for Carolina Panthers‘offensive coordinator, has heard from many NFL teams, a source told ESPN.
Brady wants to continue coaching in the NFL, and the expectation is that he will stay in the league next season, according to sources.
Brady could return to coaching in college, where he helped launch his career as a passing game coordinator at LSU during the Tigers’ 2019 national championship season.
But a source told ESPN that while it’s not impossible, Brady’s return to college in 2022 is unlikely.
Just under a year ago, Brady was interviewing for head coach positions with Jet plane, Eagle and Eagle – where he was a finalist before Atlanta finally hired Arthur Smith.
Panthers head coach Matt Rhule did not elaborate on why he fired Brady, saying the decision was “in our best interest going forward.” Senior Attack Assistant Jeff Nixon will replace Brady as Carolina’s offensive coordinator, starting Sunday against the Falcons.
The Panthers on Sunday ranked 29th in the NFL for total fouls and 24th for average scoring fouls. They finished 21st and 24th in those categories respectively last season in Brady’s first year on the team.
