The Tampa Bay Buccaneers conducted a virtual interview with Chargers' Pass Game Coordinator Marcus Brady on Saturday for the offensive coordinator vacancy on Todd Bowles' staff.
In 2024, Brady entered his first season as passing game coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers. He arrived in Los Angeles with 15 years of professional coaching experience, including coaching at the NFL level for the previous seven seasons.
Prior to the Chargers, Brady was most recently with the Philadelphia Eagles where he served as a senior offensive consultant, helping the offense set a single-season franchise record and rank No. 3 in the NFL by posting a 48.0 third-down conversion rate in 2023. Brady helped quarterback Jalen Hurts post 38 combined touchdowns last season (23 passing, 15 rushing), becoming the first Eagles signal-caller to record back-to-back seasons with at least 35 combined touchdowns, setting a single-season franchise record with 4,463 total yards, including a career-high 3,858 through the air.
Brady entered the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts, working his way up to offensive coordinator from 2021-22. In his first season as the offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, Brady led one of the top rushing attacks in football, as Indianapolis ranked No. 2 in the NFL in rushing yards per game (149.4) and yards per carry (5.5). The unit was spearheaded by running back Jonathan Taylor, who earned Associated Press first-team All-Pro honors after leading the league and setting franchise records with 1,811 rushing yards and 18 scores.
Brady started his coaching career in the CFL, winning three Grey Cups during his nine seasons as a coach. He first coached wide receivers with the Montreal Alouettes from 2009-11, helping the team win back-to-back Grey Cups from 2009-10 before becoming offensive coordinator in 2012. He then joined the Toronto Argonauts as offensive coordinator from 2013-17, winning a Grey Cup in his final season before making the jump to the NFL.
