The Philadelphia Eagles have found their next offensive and defensive coordinators.
Johnson has also been an offensive coordinator during his years coaching in college; first with Utah in 2012 , then with Houston in 2017 and finally with Florida in 2020 before he jumped to the NFL. He had interviewed for several open offensive coordinator positions on other teams as well this offseason, including the New York Jets and Los Angeles Rams roles.
Desai, 39, was an up-and-coming assistant under defensive coordinators Vic Fangio and Chuck Pagano in Chicago from 2013-2020. He was promoted from defensive quality control coach to safeties coach when the Bears replaced Fangio – who had left for the head coaching job with the Denver Broncos – in 2019. Desai became the first defensive coordinator of Indian descent in NFL history when he took over in 2021 upon Pagano's retirement.
The Eagles’ loss of both of their top coordinators to head coaching jobs was a league first since 1994 when San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan join the Broncos while defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes went to Philadelphia. Now, they’ve replaced both with young but experienced coaches as the team looks to make another Super Bowl run.
