Erie Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39368905/brian-johnson-eagles-offensive-coordinator-sources-confirm PHILADELPHIA -- Brian Johnson is out as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter, becoming the latest assistant ousted from Nick Sirianni's coaching staff. The team had not officially announced Johnson's status, but multiple outlets reported Tuesday morning that Johnson will not return to the Eagles after only one season as their offensive coordinator. The Eagles also are set to part ways with defensive coordinator Sean Desai and defensive playcaller Matt Patricia, according to ESPN and multiple reports, in what constitutes a staff overhaul for Sirianni, who has come under scrutiny after Philadelphia's late-season collapse.A source described a disconnect between the visions of Sirianni, Hurts and Johnson, which affected the offense's ability to land on an identity. Sirianni's job status has been a source of speculation following Philadelphia's 1-6 finish to the season. He'll have to rebuild key parts of his staff, and sources told ESPN on Monday that former Commanders head coach Ron Rivera is interviewing for the vacant defensive coordinator post. Johnson interviewed for multiple head-coaching jobs during this cycle, including with the Titans and Falcons. He coached at the collegiate level before joining the NFL in 2021, where he worked with Dak Prescott at Mississippi State and Kyle Trask at Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeach_Eagle Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I don't know if it'd be the right move, but I'd like to see Frank Reich come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman#12 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 What they need is an experienced OC.......even an average OC could utilize this talent to score 30 points a game. Plus, Sirianni needs to keep his focus on the team and not the offense...he needs to hand that over to an OC that's experienced. The OC position on a championship caliber team SHOULD NOT be a learn on the job position. The eagles took a championship caliber team and offense and turned them into one of the worst units in the league. I don't know who promoted johnson, but it should be a lesson on what not to do......
