Scout, quality control, positional coach, coordinator — those are all titles Jonathan Gannon has held in a still-young-but-impressive NFL coaching career.
The Broncos announced at 6:30 p.m. Denver time Wednesday they had completed the interview with Gannon.
The 39-year-old’s diverse resume, plus Philadelphia’s second-half push to earn a wild-card berth, led the Eagles’ defensive coordinator to land an interview for the Broncos’ head coaching vacancy Wednesday in the Philadelphia area. Ties with Denver general manager George Paton from the duo’s time together in Minnesota, where Gannon was an assistant secondary coach, was likely a factor, too.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni endorsed the coaching skill-set of Gannon, who came with Sirianni to Philadelphia from Indianapolis, where Gannon initially rose to prominence as the Colts’ cornerbacks coach from 2018-20.
