Eagles linebackers coach Nick Rallis is leaving Philadelphia to become the Arizona Cardinals’ new defensive coordinator, according to a report from NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Rallis, 29, originally joined Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff in January 2021. He came over from the Minnesota Vikings, where he had experience working under Mike Zimmer.
Former Eagles defensive coordinator and new Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was also once a Zimmer assistant, though he did not overlap with Rallis in Minny. But they obviously spent the last two years together in Philly. And so this development doesn’t come as a surprise considering their connection.
