According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Denver Broncos interviewed Washington Commanders assistant head coach/pass game coordinator Brian Johnson for their vacant offensive coordinator position.

Johnson started out his coaching career in college, where he had stints with Utah, Mississippi State, Houston, and Florida as offensive coordinator and/or a quarterbacks coach. His first NFL coaching job came in 2021 when he was named the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterbacks coach. Johnson held that role through the 2022 season, and in 2023, he was named the Eagles’ offensive coordinator. Johnson was fired a year later by the Eagles and was then hired by the Washington Commanders in 2024 as their assistant head coach/offensive pass game coordinator.
Unlike Curry, Johnson has zero ties to Sean Payton or his offensive staff and would bring some new blood and fresh ideas to the Broncos’ offensive staff if hired.
While the Broncos have interviewed outside candidates, current pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb appears to be the favorite to be the next offensive coordinator. After he withdrew from the Raiders head coaching search, multiple teams were interested in him as offensive coordinator, including the Denver Broncos.
Now that the Broncos have satisfied the Rooney Rule, they can officially offer and hire Davis Webb as their offensive coordinator. So, we should have some news on this sooner rather than later. It remains to be seen if the Broncos will interview any other external candidates, but for now, Davis Webb, Ronald Curry, and Brian Johnson are in the running to be the Broncos’ next offensive coordinator.
