Eagles to Interview Texans QBs Coach Jerrod Johnson for Offensive Coordinator Opening

The reported interview continues Philadelphia's search following Kevin Patullo's firing.

Overview

  • The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the Eagles are expected to speak with Houston quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson about their offensive coordinator vacancy, a report echoed by multiple outlets.
  • Johnson has coached C.J. Stroud in Houston since 2023 and has been credited in coverage with helping Stroud earn 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and reach Pro Bowl-level play.
  • He previously worked with Nick Sirianni on the Colts' offensive staff in 2020–2021 and interviewed for the same Eagles job during last year's cycle.
  • Johnson has not called plays in the NFL but has drawn repeated interest, interviewing for offensive coordinator openings with the Buccaneers, Vikings, Saints, and Patriots in recent years.
  • If Johnson ultimately departs Houston, the Texans would likely need a new quarterbacks coach as the Eagles continue evaluating candidates for their open role.
