Falcons Interview Brian Johnson For Head-Coach Job

10 months ago

The Atlanta Falcons interviewed Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson for their head-coaching opening on Thursday. While it seems former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is the favorite for the head-coaching opening in Atlanta at the moment, it doesn't mean the Falcons aren't checking out other candidates. Johnson was in his first year as offensive coordinator with the Eagles in 2023 and could get the axe after Philly lost six of their last seven games, including Monday night's wild-card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Johnson as the play-caller in 2023, the Eagles finished the year ranked seventh in points scored and eighth in total yards. It obviously wasn't a terrible season, but given the late-season collapse, some heads may roll in Philly.
