Jim Johnson (born May 26, 1941) is currently the defensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, having joined the Eagles in 1999.

Johnson is generally accepted as one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL. His ability to change blitzing schemes to adjust to his opponents is a large factor in the Eagles success since 2000. The Eagles have accumulated the 3rd best record in the NFL over his time with Philadelphia.[citation needed]

Because head coach Andy Reid is known more for his acumen on the offensive side of the ball, he has given complete control of the defensive unit of the team to Johnson, allowing Reid to concentrate on running the offense with his offensive coordinator, Marty Mornhinweg. Reid has repeatedly said he has full confidence in Johnson and the Eagles rewarded him accordingly, as he currently is one of the highest paid coordinators in the NFL.

Johnson uses a 4-3 defense which relies on blitzing schemes that come at any time and from any angle.
