Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has received interview requests for vacant head coaching jobs, and if he leaves, his replacement might be working at ESPN.
ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky commented on a “X” post about how he should be considered for offensive coordinator jobs in the NFL. Someone replied to the post saying to come to the Bills if Brady leaves, and Orlovsky responded with a handshake emoji.
Orlovsky played quarterback for multiple teams in his 12-year career, including the Detroit Lions, the Houston Texans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Indianapolis Colts and the Los Angeles Rams, primarily as a backup quarterback.
The former quarterback made most of his living when he joined ESPN in 2018 as an NFL and college football analyst, appearing on day shows like Get Up, First Take and SportsCenter.
Orlovsky doesn’t have any history coaching but has provided a lot of offensive insights on television. He’s praised quarterback Josh Allen and coach Sean McDermott in the past.
He wouldn’t be the first ESPN talent to go from television right to the sidelines. ESPN’s Louis Riddick has interviewed for multiple general manager positions, Jeff Saturday took the Colts’ interim coach position and former ESPN NBA analyst J.J. Reddick is now the Los Angeles Lakers head coach.
