Johnson becomes one of the few candidates to earn multiple interviews with Philadelphia, a sign the organization is focusing on a short list as it looks to reshape its offensive staff. The 35-year-old has drawn growing league interest after helping oversee the development of Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud during Houston’s rapid offensive rise.

Houston’s offense has been praised for its quarterback-friendly structure, vertical passing concepts, and adaptability, traits the Eagles are expected to prioritize as they retool the offense around Jalen Hurts following a disappointing season offensively.

Johnson’s second interview suggests alignment with Philadelphia’s vision for a modern, flexible scheme and strong quarterback development. With multiple candidates now receiving follow-up interviews, the Eagles could be approaching the final stages of their offensive coordinator search, with a decision expected in the coming days.
