For two years, I have been trying to get comfortable and confident in head coach Jonathan Gannon.
When the Cardinals rolled off their four-game winning streak —- with the defense suddenly dialing up successful blitz packages and becoming stingy in pass coverage —- and with Kyler Murray playing his best football since the first 7 games in 2021 —- my confidence in Jonathan Gannon and the direction of the team was at an all-time high.
Then came the bye week.
Ugh.
To watch Jonathan Gannon get summarily outcoached by first year defensive-minded head coach Mike Macdonald twice in three weeks while a panic-stricken Kyler Murray was gift-wrapping interceptions to Seattle’s ball hawks —- was dispiriting.
