Joe Brady takes over as Buffalo Bills head coach

Joe Brady became head coach of the Buffalo Bills in January, at age 37.

The team made the change after firing Sean McDermott, despite his relatively successful time in charge.

Brady once played wide receiver at William & Mary in Virginia, where he helped a more talented teammate, Tre McBride, learn the offense.

McBride went on to become a standout receiver, while Brady caught only three passes during the two seasons they played together.

That experience helped Brady see that he could contribute by teaching and developing players.

His rise from a lightly used college player to an NFL head coach reflects that shift in focus.

The source says Brady is ready to lead the Bills toward a Super Bowl, though he is not focused on that goal right now.
