Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is “considered by some in that [Texans] building to be the current front-runner” for Houston’s head coaching job, according to a report from ESPN. Gannon is said to have made a “very strong impression in his interview.”
News of the Texans requesting an interview with Gannon first emerged earlier this week. We previously pointed out that Gannon has connections to Texans general manager Nick Caserio.
It’s a bit perplexing that Gannon is already receiving serious head coach interest just one year after being hired as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator.
