The Texans will retain both their offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Jerrod Johnson.
According to various sources, Johnson has notified clubs interested in hiring him as an offensive coordinator that he will return to Houston.
Johnson, like offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, allegedly earned a contract extension and a raise upon his return.
Johnson was a contender for offensive coordinator positions at New Orleans, Pittsburgh, New England, and Tampa.
He recently finished his debut season with the Texans, joining the team after DeMeco Ryans was promoted as head coach. Johnson was credited with helping C.J. Stroud become the offensive rookie of the year favorite.
Stroud passed for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. He topped the league in passing yards per game (273.9) and interception rate (1.0%).Johnson has spent time with the 49ers, Colts, and Vikings since his NFL career ended.
