The Washington Commanders will NOT be hiring Detroit Lions offensive coordinator as their new head coach, according to multiple reports. Johnson is expected to remain in his current role for 2024.
This news comes as a surprise. Johnson was considered to be a hot candidate last year but he did not land a job. It seemed like a foregone conclusion, then, that he would be primed to move on after 2023. But that’s not the case.
Johnson has obviously overseen success as an OC. He’s no small part of why the Lions were able to win their first playoff game since the 1991 season.
