Schefter: Steelers Once-OC Candidate Jerrod Johnson Staying In Houston

Though the news is far less meaningful given the Pittsburgh Steelers hiring of Arthur Smith, Houston Texans QB Coach Jerrod Johnson is staying in Houston, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter who tweeted the news a short time ago.

Texans’ QB coach Jerrod Johnson, who worked closely with rookie standout C.J. Stroud this past season and has interviewed for offensive coordinator jobs, is staying in Houston, per source.

Per Schefter, Johnson received a contract extension and pay raise.

Jerrod Johnson was a hot name in this year’s offensive coordinator cycle, including receiving interest from the Steelers.
