The Washington Commanders' decision to promote assistant quarterbacks coach David Blough to offensive coordinator (OC) came at the expense of Kliff Kingsbury. However, recent news from the Los Angeles Rams shows that the move cost them another coach: Brian Johnson.
Los Angeles finalized its staff for the 2026 campaign. They announced that Kingsbury, whom the Commanders surprisingly agreed to mutually part ways with on Jan. 6, will be their assistant head coach. And now, Johnson is officially following suit, reuniting with his ex-Washington ally on the NFC runner-up Rams.
Johnson is joining the Rams as a senior offensive assistant after spending the past two seasons as Washington's assistant head coach/pass game coordinator.
