With the Arizona Cardinals announcing Tuesday the hiring of Jonathan Gannon as head coach, the 2023 NFL head-coach hiring cycle ended.
Last we saw Gannon, he was the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, and his unit gave up 17 fourth-quarter points in a 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The Eagles barely got a hand on, let alone sacked, Patrick Mahomes, who played with one good ankle.
Yet the man who has been credited over and over as being a significant part of the Chiefs' offensive success, the one who found and exploited — twice — a flaw in the Eagles' defense, is essentially jobless at the moment.
