Texans Interviewing Jerrod Johnson For Offensive-Coordinator Job

2 months ago

The Houston Texans will interview quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson for their offensive-coordinator job early this week and is regarded as a top internal candidate to replace Bobby Slowik, according to league sources. The New York Jets are also expected to request an interview with Johnson for their offensive-coordinator position under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Johnson, a Texas A&M alumni who played for six different NFL teams, worked with quarterback C.J. Stroud in his first two years with the Texans but began coaching him when he was 16 years old. He interviewed last year with the Buccaneers, Saints, Browns, Eagles, Steelers and Patriots and has emerged as one of the hottest offensive-coordinator candidates around the NFL. Although Stroud regressed in his second season, Johnson was one of the big reasons he led the league in passing yards per game and TD-to-interception ratio as a rookie.
