Cardinals hire Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon as their new head coach

The Arizona Cardinals have a new head coach. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are finalizing a deal with former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who has a close to Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort.

The positive spin for Gannon is that he’s pro-analytics and is a great communicator. Learning from Nick Sirianni on how to run a team won’t hurt, as the Eagles took on the persona of their coach.

The results for the Eagles defense this past season were not great whenever they played a remotely competent offense. And Gannon won’t have Philadelphia’s defensive line with him in the desert.
