Eagles to Interview Texans QBs Coach Jerrod Johnson for Offensive Coordinator Role
The Philadelphia Eagles are taking a familiar face into the mix in their search for an offensive coordinator. According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the team will be speaking with Jerrod Johnson, the quarterbacks coach of the Houston Texans, for what could be his second interview for the position.
Johnson, 37, has already built a connection with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, having worked alongside him on Indy's offensive staff in 2020. The two share experience coaching under the legendary Bill Walsh, and Johnson also spent time as an assistant quarterbacks coach with the Minnesota Vikings before joining the Texans last season.
While Sirianni may see potential in Johnson to fill the OC role, it's worth noting that Johnson has limited NFL playing experience and was passed over for both the Eagles' 2024 and 2025 OC positions. The Texans, under head coach DeMeco Ryans, have faced significant challenges on offense, ranking 22nd and 18th in total offense during those seasons.
The search for an OC to complement Sirianni's play-calling continues, with Johnson poised to join a shortlist of candidates vying for the position. The Eagles' front office will undoubtedly be looking for someone who can improve their stagnant offense and help them return to prominence on the gridiron.

, the Eagles need someone with some real game-changer skills up there in Philly. I mean, Jerrod Johnson might be a great coach, but he's been passed over twice already? That's like gettin' two strikes on a swing and still thinkin' you're gonna hit it outta the park 
! Sirianni needs someone who's gonna shake things up, ya know? The Texans have had some problems with their offense under Ryans, so I'm not sure what that says about Johnson's abilities 
. But hey, at least he's familiar with Sirianni from Indy days, which is a good start 
. Maybe it'll be the magic combo they need to get this offense goin' 
!
So I think this is a good sign! Jerrod Johnson has some great experience under Bill Walsh, which is like having a masterclass on OC duties 
. Plus, he already knows Nick Sirianni from their time in Indy, so that's a major plus 
. Sure, the Texans' offense hasn't been stellar lately, but maybe that just means Jerrod will bring some fresh ideas to Philly? And hey, the Eagles have struggled on offense too, so this could be just what they need – someone who can shake things up and get them flying high again! 
! I mean, he's already got some great connections with Sirianni and they share some awesome coaching experiences. But at the same time, I'm a bit curious about why they're going back to him after he was passed over last season 
! Maybe this is the push he needs to take it to the next level? 
. I'm not sure if it's gonna work out, but Johnson's definitely got some connections with the coaching staff. He's played it cool during his interviews so far, which is good, 'cause you never know what'll happen next in this process 
. The Eagles need someone who can shake things up on offense, and maybe Johnson's just the guy to bring that spark 
. Just hope he can overcome that limited playing experience, or else it'll be tough for him to prove himself 
, but at the same time, it's nice to see a familiar face in the mix 
. Nick Sirianni and Jerrod have that coaching chemistry thing goin' on from their Indy days, so that's a plus 
. Still, gotta wonder if he's ready for this role yet 
But their total offense has been stuck in neutral... 15.2 yards gained per play last season 
. Jerrod Johnson's experience working with legends like Bill Walsh and coaching QBs could be the key to shaking things up! 
. Time to shake off those stagnant numbers and get back to winning ways! 
I mean, I love his coaching experience and all, but the Texans had some major problems on offense under Ryans... it's like, can't they just find someone who's actually produced good results elsewhere? 
. Jerrod Johnson's limited playing experience is already raising red flags, and I'm pretty sure he'll struggle to run Sirianni's play-calling system. The Texans' offense has been tanking since he joined, so it's not like he's got some magical solutions to offer 
. I'm not buying it...
. Still, it's always good to have someone with experience working under Bill Walsh on your side... those guys know how to make an offense tick! 
. The Texans had a pretty rough season last year, ranking 22nd in total offense... that’s gotta be tough for anyone to work magic with 
. I get it, they wanna improve their offense, but is Johnson really the guy? Have they considered someone who’s actually gotten some playoff experience or won a championship? 
Just food for thought, I guess!
