Since joining the Buffalo Bills in 2017, head coach Sean McDermott has only had one losing season and has helped his team start a streak of first-place finishes in the AFC East. However, despite the regular season success, McDermott and the Buffalo Bills coaches haven’t figured out how to get Buffalo back to the Super Bowl with three straight Divisional Round losses.
While Buffalo’s coaching staff made some new additions, McDermott continues to have fantastic coaching continuity from season to season. Here’s a list of the Buffalo Bills coaches.

New Additions to the Buffalo Bills Coaching Staff
The Bills saw a shake-up on the offensive coaching staff mostly due to last season’s decisions. McDermott and the Bills fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey after a tough loss to the Denver Broncos and an overall declining performance of the offense in Week 10 of the 2023 season.
At the time, quarterback coach Joe Brady was promoted as interim offensive coordinator but ended up keeping the position in the 2024 offseason. His promotion left a vacancy in his former position, which was filled by Ronald Curry. Curry had been a quarterback coach and offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints for the past eight seasons.

Curry attended Hampton High School and is considered to be one of the greatest Virginia high school athletes ever. He led his high school football team to three consecutive state titles at quarterback and one in basketball. He made it to the NFL and played seven seasons as a wide receiver for the Oakland Raiders.
The Bills also added Jahmille Addae to the coaching staff, who will take over as Cornerbacks Coach. A four-year starter for the West Virginia Mountaineers, Addae was a two-time All-Big East defensive back during his collegiate career. While he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006, he wound up on the Colts practice squad.
Addae moved on to coaching the next year, returning to West Virginia as a graduate assistant. He’s been a defensive back and secondary coach for a few Power 5 college programs, including Miami, Georgia, and Minnesota. 2024 will be his first season as an NFL coach.
Another coach making his NFL debut is Christian Taylor, who will be the Bills defensive quality control coach. Growing up in Yorktown, VA, Taylor attended and played football at William & Mary as the backup quarterback and primary field goal holder his final two season. He immediately joined his alma mater as Tight Ends coach in 2008 and has moved his way up the ladder since.
After becoming the offensive coordinator at San Diego in 2018, he returned to William & Mary after a two-year coaching hiatus to become the offensive coordinator and running backs coach from 2020-2023. Not only is this Taylor’s first season as an NFL coach, but also the first in a defensive area.
