Summary
Josh Allen said Buffalo gave him a voice in its January head-coaching search, letting the quarterback sit in on interviews and raise player-focused questions after Sean McDermott's exit.
That search followed the Bills' overtime divisional-round loss to Denver and owner Terry Pegula's view that the team had hit a playoff wall under McDermott after 9 seasons.
Joe Brady ultimately got the job, with GM Brandon Beane saying Buffalo wanted a "CEO" leader; Allen said Brady's promotion has felt natural because of their existing relationship.
Support for Brady also came from the locker room, with Khalil Shakir and Dawson Knox praising the former coordinator, whose staff and broader command of the team have fueled optimism for the season.
