Joe Brady just becomes more underwhelming as the days pass. He doesn't recruit, didn't call plays at LSU, had what looks to be a generational talent at QB propping him up at LSU, and got fired 1.5 seasons into being an NFL OC.

He would do well in the college game again I bet - he just isn't seasoned and his offense isn't complex enough to succeed in the NFL like he did at LSU.

The NFL defenses are just far, far superior than most college defenses and you have to be very unpredictable to confuse them. You need more motions, double moves, rub routes, rpos, and pre snap eye candy to succeed. Sure, NFL offenses also require talent to rise up and beat their man - but that is because despite all the above, it is really hard to scheme people wide open.

But if you don't have a complex enough offense and the defense knows what to expect, you can't even get out of the blocks - this was Brady's issue from what I have read and seen. In college, he gets away with it as you only need to incorporate a few of those things to start confusing defenses.
