On Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills hired three new coaches: Christian Taylor to oversee defensive quality control, Ronald Curry to coach the team’s quarterbacks, and Jahmile Addae to coach the cornerbacks.
Here’s more about the newest members of the Bills coaching staff:
Ronald Curry
Curry, 44, has spent the last eight seasons with the Saints, first serving as an offensive assistant from 2016 to 2017 and then as the wide receivers coach from 2018 to 2020 before taking over as the quarterbacks coach in 2021–2023. Curry’s duties were expanded by the Saints to include passing game coordinator prior to the 2022 season.
Curry also spent two seasons in New Orleans (2017–18) as an assistant to Joe Brady, the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. In that span of time, Brady served as Sean Payton’s offensive assistant for both of those seasons, while Curry alternated between serving as the wide receivers coach and offensive assistant in 2017 and 2018.
Curry had a way of nurturing offensive talent while he was in New Orleans. The season Michael Thomas broke the NFL record for most catches in a single season (149), he was the receiver coach.
Curry assisted in mentoring multiple quarterbacks, including Taysom Hill, Derek Carr, Andy Dalton, and Jameis Winston, after switching to the position of quarterback coach. Following Winston’s midseason injury in 2021, Curry managed three different starting quarterbacks for the remainder of the season.
During his four years as a starter at UNC, he recorded the most throwing yards (4,987) in school history.
Curry later switched to wide receiver after being selected by the Oakland Raiders in the 2022 NFL Draft. Between 2002 and 2008, he amassed 2,347 yards and 13 touchdowns.
In 2014, Curry joined the San Francisco 49ers as an offensive assistant, where he started his NFL coaching career.
After serving as the University of Miami’s secondary coach for the previous two seasons, Jahmile Addae was named the new cornerbacks coach for the Bills. Addae was selected twice for the All-Big East team while playing defensive back at West Virginia.
Addae worked as a graduate assistant at Michigan and West Virginia before taking on the roles of running backs coach and director of player development for three seasons at the University of Cincinnati. He worked as a defensive backs coach and analyst at the University of Arizona for the next five seasons.
In 2018, Addae served as the defensive backs coach at the University of Minnesota. He then left to work as a defensive secondary coach in West Virginia, where he also briefly held the position of co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach.
Before moving to Miami in 2022, Addae was the defensive backs coach at the University of Georgia, where he won a national championship in 2021.
Christian Taylor Taylor will be in charge of quality control and defense. He was a quarterback for William and Mary. In 2008, he started working as a tight ends coach at his former school. In 2009, he became the quarterbacks coach.
Prior to joining the University of San Diego as the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator, Taylor worked as an offensive assistant at San Diego State and Michigan. After returning to USD as the wide receivers coach and subsequently the offensive coordinator, Taylor worked as the offensive coordinator for Illinois Wesleyan University for a year.
