Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Commanders are hiring former Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson to a “prominent” offensive staff role.
Johnson drew interest form multiple teams for offensive coordinator jobs, but it appears as though Washington proved to be his best option in the end.
The Commanders hired Kliff Kingsbury to run their offense earlier this week, so it will be interesting to see what role Johnson has on their coaching staff.
Johnson, 36, took his first coaching job as the QBs coach at Utah in 2010. He worked his way up to offensive coordinator before departing to become the QBs coach at Mississippi State in 2014.
From there, Johnson had stints with Houston and Florida before the Eagles hired him as their QBs coach in 2021.
The Eagles then promoted Johnson to their offensive coordinator in 2023.
In 2023, the Eagles offense under Johnson finished eighth in total yards and seventh in points, placing eighth in rushing yards and 16th in passing yards.
