The former Texans quarterbacks coach joins Philadelphia in a non-coordinator role following Sean Mannion’s OC hire.

Overview

  • Johnson and the Texans mutually parted ways so he could pursue other opportunities, according to multiple reports.
  • After interviewing twice and emerging as a finalist for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator vacancy, he accepted a different position as the team moved forward with Sean Mannion.
  • He is set to work with head coach Nick Sirianni, offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, and passing game coordinator Josh Grizzard as the offensive staff takes shape.
  • Johnson’s recent quarterback development includes guiding C.J. Stroud’s standout rookie season in 2024 with 4,108 passing yards and 23 touchdowns, plus a Pro Bowl year for Kirk Cousins in Minnesota.
  • He brings organizational ties through a 2011 stint with the Eagles and prior work with Sirianni in Indianapolis, with additional overlap with new offensive line coach Chris Kuper in Minnesota.
