College statistics

New Orleans Saints

In 2017, Brady was hired by the New Orleans Saints as an offensive assistant under head coach Sean Payton.

LSU

In 2019, Brady joined head coach Ed Orgeron and the LSU Tigers as their passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. Recognized as the top assistant coach during the 2019 college football season, Brady was honored with the 24th annual Broyles Award. Another highlight of his tenure was Joe Burrow winning the Heisman Trophy. Subsequently, he emerged as a leading candidate for numerous offensive coordinator vacancies in the NFL, but eventually agreed to a three-year contract extension with LSU, but he left for the NFL just days later anyway (see next paragraph).

Carolina Panthers

On January 16, 2020, Brady was hired by the Carolina Panthers as their offensive coordinator under head coach Matt Rhule. The Panthers staff were selected to coach in the 2021 Senior Bowl, but Brady missed the game due to COVID-19 protocols. On December 5, 2021, Brady was fired by the Panthers.

Buffalo Bills

On February 4, 2022, Brady was hired by the Buffalo Bills as their quarterbacks coach. The Bills fired OC Ken Dorsey on November 14, 2023 after a 5–5 start to the 2023 season, and Brady was promoted to interim offensive coordinator. Under Brady, the Bills offense went from almost entirely focused on passing with quarterback Josh Allen and receiver Stefon Diggs to being more balanced and favoring running backs James Cook and Ty Johnson, also allowing Allen to run more. This new approach helped Buffalo win six of their final seven games to finish with an 11–6 record and their fourth consecutive AFC East title. The Bills promoted Brady to full-time offensive coordinator following the season.
