Pete Carmichael Jr. Takes the Reins as Bills Offensive Coordinator

The Buffalo Bills are rapidly shaping their new coaching staff under head coach Joe Brady. In a significant move, the Bills have agreed to terms with Pete Carmichael Jr. to become their offensive coordinator, as reported by NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo. This marks a return to a prominent role for Carmichael, who spent the last two seasons as a senior offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos.

Carmichael brings a wealth of experience to Buffalo, notably having served as Sean Payton’s offensive coordinator in New Orleans for over a decade. His proven track record and familiarity with innovative offensive schemes make him a key addition as the Bills look to maximize the potential of quarterback Josh Allen.
