Commanders to hire former Eagles OC Brian Johnson as passing-game coordinator

Brian Johnson is staying in the NFC East, and he’ll be tasked with helping to develop another star signal-caller after being hired by the Commanders.

Jeremy Fowler reports that the former Eagles offensive coordinator will have a prominent role on Dan Quinn’s staff and work closely alongside new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

The news came after Johnson was interviewed for the Commander’s offensive coordinator job.

Washington has the No. 2 overall pick in April’s NFL draft and could target Caleb Williams (USC), Drake Maye (UNC), or Jayden Daniels (LSU).

Johnson, 36, took over as Eagles offensive coordinator this year after spending two seasons under Shane Steichen as quarterbacks coach, helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl after last season.

Johnson was promoted after Steichen landed the Colts heading coaching job, but he came under fire after the Philadelphia offense grew “stale’ while regressing this season.
