  "textContent": "<p>John Fox, the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears\" target=\"_blank\" >Bears</a>’ head coach from 2015-17, will be part of this year's Bills staff.</p><p>New Bills head coach Joe Brady hired Fox as a senior assistant coach Friday. Fox, 71, worked with new Bills quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree and special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers during his three-year stint with the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/02/12/bears-nfl-mock-draft-pick-25-overall-fernando-mendoza-tj-parker-indiana-clemson-april\" target=\"_blank\" >Bears</a>.</p><p>When the Bears hired Fox, he was one of just six men to lead two different teams — the Panthers and Broncos — to the Super Bowl. The Bears fired Fox at the end of the 2017 season after he posted a 14-34 record as head coach. Fox didn’t coach again until 2022, when he was named a senior defensive assistant for the Colts. He held the same job with the Lions the next year.</p><p>Brady has no previous experience with Fox. The 36-year-old Brady was hired to replace Sean McDermott, who was fired after a playoff loss to the Broncos in January and despite the fact he posted a 12-5 record in 2024. In nine years with the Bills, McDermott went 98-50 in the regular season and 8-8 in the playoffs.</p><p></p><bsp-list-loadmore class=\"PageListH\" data-module data-hide-authors=\"true\"
