The Eagles have cast a wide net in their search for an offensive coordinator, and a familiar name is set to meet with Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni. Dianna Russini reports that the Eagles are set to speak with Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson.

Johnson actually interviewed for the job following the 2023 season when Brian Johnson was fired.

Under his direction, Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud put together one of the greatest seasons ever by a first-year signal caller, throwing for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns against five interceptions in 15 games.

Stroud led the NFL in passing yards per game (273.9).

This season, Davis Mills was efficient and prepared during a three-game stint while Stroud was out with an injury. Before joining the Texans as their quarterbacks coach, Johnson spent one year in the same role for the Minnesota Vikings.

During that one season, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins made the Pro Bowl after throwing for 4,547 yards and 29 touchdowns.

Johnson is a Texas A&M graduate and was an All-Big 12 performer with the Aggies, throwing for 8,011 yards and 67 touchdowns in his collegiate career. And he's got a relationship with Hurts thanks to his Texas roots.
