Saints To Speak With Brian Johnson About Offensive-Coordinator Position
10 months ago
The New Orleans Saints will interview former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson for their vacant offensive-coordinator position next week, according to a source. In addition to the Saints, Johnson has already interviewed for the same position with the Cleveland Browns and is expected to interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He spent the last two years as the Eagles' offensive coordinator and was promoted to the position to replace Nick Sirianni after serving as quarterbacks coach. Philly's offense was inconsistent in 2023, although they did finish the season ranked seventh in points scored and eighth in total yards. Their downfall late in the year was the fact that they scored fewer than 20 points in five of their last seven games, including the wild-card playoff loss to the Buccaneers.
