head coach Joe Brady has come a long way since his playing days at William & Mary, where he was a wide receiver for four seasons. On Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Brady discussed his background and the mentors who helped shape his path to becoming an NFL head coach.
Among the most influential were former James Franklin and Joe Moorhead, a head coach and offensive coordinator under whom Brady worked early in his career.Bills Restructure Spencer Brown's Contract to Save Millions Before Free Agency "The work ethic, the approach, everything I learned from James Franklin, Joe Moorhead," Brady said. "I learned so much football doing that...and it got me an opportunity to go see big-time football and see the detail that it takes to be a part of a winning organization.", Brady shifted to the offensive side of the ball. He spent two seasons under Franklin, now Virginia Tech's head coach, and Moorhead, now Akron's head coach. In 2016, his second season in Happy Valley, Brady helped the Nittany Lions to their first Big Ten title in eight years.
