"The Dolphins have requested to interview Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson for their offensive coordinator vacancy, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini. This is the first official interview request for Johnson, though he is drawing from other teams as well, per KRPC2's Aaron Wilson. The 37-year-old is a former quarterback who spent time with seven NFL teams, though he never appeared in a regular-season game."
"After ending his playing career in 2016, Johnson took coaching fellowships with the 49ers (2017) and the Colts (2019). The latter opportunity turned into a full-time job as an offensive quality control coach. Johnson then took over as the assistant quarterbacks coach in Minnesota in 2022 before moving to Houston to develop first-round pick C.J. Stroud in 2023."
The Dolphins requested to interview Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson for their offensive coordinator vacancy and also requested to interview Cowboys assistant special teams coach Carlos Polk for their special teams coordinator opening. Johnson, 37, played quarterback with seven NFL teams but never appeared in a regular-season game. He ended his playing career in 2016 and completed coaching fellowships with the 49ers (2017) and Colts (2019), the latter leading to a full-time offensive quality control role. Johnson served as Minnesota’s assistant quarterbacks coach in 2022 and joined Houston in 2023 to work with first-round pick C.J. Stroud. Stroud showed strong rookie production but regressed across most statistical categories over the next two years, taking 23 sacks in 2025 after 90 in his first two seasons. Polk has held assistant special teams coach roles with five NFL teams since 2010 and had a previous stint in Dallas under Jason Garrett in 2019 before returning last offseason.
