Browns to interview former Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson for vacancy, AP source says
A person familiar with the team’s plans tells The Associated Press that the Cleveland Browns are interviewing former Philadelphia offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, who was fired by Eagles coach Nick Sirianni on Tuesday
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns are interviewing former Philadelphia offensive coordinator Brian Johnson to help bring out the best in quarterback Deshaun Watson, a person familiar with the team's plans told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Johnson, who was fired by Eagles coach Nick Sirianni on Tuesday, has a meeting with the Browns to be their coordinator, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not announcing any moves until coach Kevin Stefanski fills out his staff.
Stefanski fired offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt last week as part of an offensive shakeup.
Johnson was ousted by Sirianni along with Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai after Philadelphia lost to Tampa Bay in the wild-card round. Johnson was interviewed by Atlanta and Tennessee for their head coaching jobs.
