Not as head coach, but as OC. He has NFL experience with the Saints, and the turnaround he had initiated for that LSU offense is remarkable. Yes, I understand that college is different the NFL, and I am well aware that he has high level NFL caliber players at just about every position, but no one here can credibly deny the terrific job he has done working with Burrow and the LSU players. He'd be a great fit here as our new OC (obviously we need to get a new head coach here first).
I think a combination of Matt Rhule as HC and Joe Brady as OC would be a coup for this organization.
You're kidding, right?
Burrow played in 2018. Put up okay numbers.
Brady came in this year from the Saints. And then LSU took off. Sorry, but that's not a coincidence.
And to the OP, I've been mentioning Brady's name for a month. He should be in contention for OC and HC positions. He's obviously learned very well under Payton.
With that in mind, Rhule and Brady would be pretty awesome. Brady tailor made that offense for Burrow, and I think Burrow and Jones have a pretty similar skill set. Brady has been more than impressive. It would be nice to have that kind of ability on the coaching staff for once.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it is realistic. Brady isn’t going anywhere, unless it is the head coach of a program. He’s received national recognition and accolades, and his stock his way up. The hierarchy of this organization is petrified of a risk or a challenge, and Brady is just that.
And many of the teams LSU played this year - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Texas, Georgia - have 5 and 4 star recruits at every position.
I don't disagree on the quality of their players but I think you're way off on their OC.
We've all seen what bad coaching/schemes look like here with the Giants and Brady is at the opposite end of that. He's taken the same type of LSU offensive team as far as players go and brought it out of the dark ages to be as well run and exciting as any O in football.
I also agree with you on Rhule but let's not diminish the great job Joe Brady has done. Without him I don't think they're nearly as good an O as they are, even with a talented QB and skill position players. He's put in a system that puts them all in position to succeed, and that's what really good coaches do.
The job Brady has done is nothing short of a miracle. I'd be on board of hiring him for the Giants.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. If you choose a HC, he builds the staff. OC and DC need to fit what the HC's vision is.
You don't get an OC 1st then the HC.

It really is an unbelievable transformation. The Tigers went from a cure for insomnia to an absolute offensive juggernaut.
And it’s 100% Joe Brady.
He's much older. He's 30. ;)
