Eagles Officially Promote Brian Johnson To Offensive Coordinator
2 years agoThe Philadelphia Eagles officially promoted quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson to offensive coordinator on Tuesday to replace new Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen, according to sources. Johnson had other opportunities for offensive coordinator jobs, but he ultimately chose to stay with the Eagles. Quarterback Jalen Hurts will now receive play calls from his former QB coach in 2023. In addition to Johnson, the Eagles also named former Colts offensive coordinator Marcus Brady as a senior offensive assistant, Alex Tanney as the new QBs coach and T.J. Paganetti as the run-game specialist/assistant tight ends coach. The 36-year-old Johnson spent a decade coaching in college before making his NFL coaching debut when Nick Sirianni landed the head-coaching job in Philly.
