The Buffalo Bills are starting to fill out their coaching staff for the 2026 season, and we have full coverage of all of the names confirmed or reported so far.
Joe Brady is the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills. With a new leader at the top, that means a, mostly, new coaching staff will be working with the players in 2026.
It's been less than a week since Brady was hired, but the team has wasted no time in filling out the coaching staff as the offseason gets underway.
On Saturday, the Bills announced the three coordinators hired to coach alongside Brady.
From a first-time NFL coordinator to long-time veteran coaches, it seems like the Bills want to surround Brady with a mix of young and established coaches. To that end, it might be hard to track everyone who's been reported or officially announced for the staff.
So, we decided to put together a tracker to keep you up to date on all of the hirings for Buffalo's staff. Below you'll find a list of names along with whether or not they have been officially confirmed by the team or just reported by various sources.
