5 teams where Panthers OC Joe Brady could be head coach in 2022
By Dean Jones
What teams could be calling Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady for a potential head coaching job in 2022?
We’re still in the early stages of the 2021 season, but it might not take a rocket scientist to figure out which coaches are on the hot seat. The Carolina Panthers are enjoying a fine start to the campaign, which will obviously see more eyes cast towards offensive coordinator Joe Brady when the time comes in the New Year.
Brady got plenty of head coaching interviews after just one season of calling plays at the next level earlier this year. He is widely regarded as one of the league’s brightest young offensive minds, but organizations felt a little more experience was needed before taking on the top job.
The Panthers are benefitting from Brady’s presence – at least for another few months. He seems to be turning around quarterback Sam Darnold’s career quickly, which is only going to enhance his chances of a big-time promotion.
With this in mind, here are five teams who might be looking Brady’s way in 2022 judging by early efforts.
Potential head coaching jobs for Carolina Panthers OC Joe Brady.
Team No. 1
Philadelphia Eagles
Things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for the Philadelphia Eagles and their new head coach Nick Sirianni this season. They took a big risk appointing him in the first place and judging by what we’ve seen so far, he might be a little out of his depth.
There is a lot of talent on the Eagles, led by second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts. Should Philadelphia’s struggles continue for the remainder of the campaign and they cut their losses with Sirianni, a call to the Carolina Panthers and Joe Brady wouldn’t be far behind.
Having such skill position players to work with would be an enticing proposition for Brady, with the Eagles also keeping a close eye on the developing situation currently surrounding Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
