Report: Eagles staff unhappy with decision on OC
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler told "The John Kincade Show" on Tuesday that some members of the Philadelphia Eagles aren't taking the team's decision to fire offensive coordinator Brian Johnson very well.
Derrick Gunn first reported Monday that "all indications" were Johnson wouldn't be returning to the Eagles. That news was confirmed by a host of insiders on Tuesday morning.
The news on Johnson comes in the wake of the firing of defensive coordinator Sean Desai on Sunday and the recent decision to let go of defensive play-caller Matt Patricia. Philadelphia is now looking for a new offensive and defensive coordinator for the second straight season.
Following last year's run to an appearance in Super Bowl LVII, both offensive coordinator Shane Steichen and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon landed their first jobs as a head coach.
Steichen led the Indianapolis Colts to a 9-8 record and near-playoff berth, while Gannon went 4-13 with the Arizona Cardinals.
While the Eagles sideline may look different with new assistants and coordinators in 2024, it appears that head coach Nick Sirianni will be returning for another season.
The 36-year-old Johnson served as Philadelphia's quarterbacks coach in 2021 and 2022 before being promoted to offensive coordinator when Steichen departed for Indianapolis. He's been interviewed for multiple head-coaching gigs this winter, including with the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans.
