Josh Allen of the Bills joked that teams should steer clear of their offensive coordinator amidst rumors of head coaching interest.
Brady leads the NFL in points per game with the Bills.
Josh Allen wants to keep his offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, with him this offseason as teams are interested in interviewing him for their head coaching positions.
During a press conference on Wednesday, a reporter questioned Allen about the significance of Brady to him.
"Allen stated with a smile on his face that he hasn't done anything for us and teams should stay away from him," nothing.
Then Allen took a more serious tone, praising his coach.
"Coming into a new play-caller mid-year is not an easy task, but he did it seamlessly and our team's success since then has been evident. He's one of the most positive and energetic individuals in the building, and his realness is something we admire," Allen stated.
This season, the Buffalo Bills' success has led to offensive coordinator Brady being interviewed for head coaching positions.
Numerous reports indicate that the Chicago Bears, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars have requested interviews with Brady for their vacant head coaching positions.
After the Bills lost their fifth game of the season, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was fired and Tom Brady assumed play-calling responsibilities.
The Bills won the AFC East after Brady took over and they went 6-1 down the stretch.
Despite the team's success in the previous season, Brady retained his position as offensive coordinator. Under his leadership, the Bills' explosive offense, spearheaded by Allen, propelled them to a 13-4 record going into the playoffs. Allen was also in contention for the MVP award.
In the NFL, the Bills rank second in scoring, with an average of 30.9 points per game, just behind the Detroit Lions, who average 33.2 points per game.
This season, Allen has played some of the best football of his career under Brady. He has completed 63.6% of his passes for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
Allen has been dynamic with his legs, rushing for 531 yards with 12 touchdowns on the ground, averaging over five yards per attempt.
The Bills will face the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card Round at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, providing Brady with an opportunity to further entice teams.
The Bills face a tough challenge with the Broncos, who allow the third-lowest number of points per game in the NFL with an average of 18.3 points given up.
