Arizona Cardinals hire Jonathan Gannon as Head Coach
Cardinals optimistic about Gannon's leadership
The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator Jonathan Gannon to be their next head coach, the team announced Tuesday.
Gannon, 40, has been with the Eagles since 2021 and helped lead the team to a Super Bowl appearance this season. He was previously the defensive backs coach for the Indianapolis Colts from 2018-2020.
Gannon's strengths and weaknesses
Gannon is known for his aggressive defensive scheme and his ability to get pressure on the quarterback. He is also considered to be a good leader and communicator.
However, Gannon has also been criticized for his lack of experience as a head coach. He has never been a head coach at any level, and he has only been an NFL coordinator for two seasons.
Cardinals hope Gannon can turn things around
The Cardinals are hoping that Gannon can turn things around for a team that has struggled in recent years. The Cardinals have not had a winning season since 2015, and they have not made the playoffs since 2014.
Gannon will be tasked with improving the Cardinals' defense, which was one of the worst in the NFL this season. He will also need to find a way to get more production from the Cardinals' offense, which was also one of the worst in the NFL this season.
Gannon's contract and staff
Gannon's contract is reportedly for four years and $16 million. He is expected to bring several members of his staff from the Eagles to Arizona, including defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson and defensive line coach Tracy Rocker.
