Johnson guided rookie quarterback CJ Stroud to a playoff victory in his first season as the Houston Texans’ quarterback coach. He is a rising candidate for offensive coordinator and was selected by NOF.com as the best offensive coordinator on Tuesday. The 35-year-old might complement seasoned quarterback Derek Carr well and inject some much-needed flair into the passing game.
After eighteen years with the New Orleans Saints, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael has left the team. Following the departure of head coach Sean Payton, the announcement was made following two offensively turbulent seasons.
Now that Carmichael has departed, general manager Mickey Loomis needs to find a replacement who, hopefully, can build on his collection of talented offensive playmakers and achieve greater success. These eight people are possible successors to Pete Carmichael.
One name that has emerged as the likely next Kyle Shanahan product to accept a coordinator role is Kubiak. After serving as the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021, he is back on the coaching circuit after spending a year in San Francisco. He and Greg Olson have already conducted interviews for the position of offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears.
