Brian Johnson, the former offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, may soon be getting back on his feet after being let go at the conclusion of a disastrous season.
The Washington Commanders are anticipated to interview Johnson for their open offensive coordinator spot, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. This may keep the 36-year-old in the NFC East.
“The Commanders are expected to interview former Eagles OC Brian Johnson for their open OC job, sources tell BleacherReport,” Schultz said on Twitter. “Kliff Kingsbury will be firmly in the mix for Washington.”
Eric Bieniemy, Washington’s offensive coordinator, is slated to leave the team after leading the Raiders to a 4-13 season. Bieniemy has allegedly already met with the Raiders regarding their job at offensive coordinator.
Washington has some exciting offensive assets to work with if Johnson is selected for the position. Terry McLaurin is still one of the best and most consistent wide receivers in the NFL, and going into his third season, rookie pass-catcher Jahan Dotson is an intriguing addition. Brian Robinson Jr., a running back with the Commanders, has also shown himself to be a potent player both via the air and on the ground.
