Jonathan Gannon

Jonathan Gannon, who was the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator, completed a whirlwind week on Tuesday when he agreed to terms on a five-year contract ...

He started his career in 2007 as a Falcons quality control coach, and then spent three seasons as a scout with the Rams before going to Tennessee. The Cardinals also will need to make a decision on current defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who remains under contract. We have to figure out what out what our players can do and put them in those positions as much as possible to utilize their strengths." As recently as after the NFC Championship game, Gannon had said he was going to remain in Philadelphia after interviews for other head coach openings didn't pan out. "I am super excited about the opportunity," said Gannon, who got a chance to briefly meet with quarterback Kyler Murray before flying back to Philadelphia. "It was a natural fit between myself and Michael, our conversation from the start, and we all share a joint vision of what the Arizona Cardinals are going to be moving forward."

Louis Rams as a scout, Tennessee Titans in defensive quality control, Minnesota Vikings as an assistant defensive backs coach, and the Colts as cornerbacks coach before being hired in Philadelphia in 2021.

As a matter of fact, coaches from other teams ask me, 'Does Jonathan Gannon get (criticism) here?' I'm like, 'Somehow, yeah.' Like, this guy is incredible.

Gannon was the Eagles defensive coordinator the past two seasons, overseeing a group that finished first in sacks (70) and pass defense (171.6 yards per game) ...

There's a great chance they'll be able to select the draft's top defender if quarterbacks are taken with the top two picks. It could give him an opportunity to work with those two coaches more often and in a deeper way than if the head coach were an offensive-minded coach who called plays. The incumbent defensive coordinator is still under contract, and some players from last year's team expressed to Bidwill their desire to have Joseph be the next head coach. Gannon could use a player like Reddick, the former Cardinals linebacker he coached this season in Philadelphia. The increasingly tense relationship between Kingsbury and Murray was [at the heart of the Cardinals' problems](/nfl/insider/insider/story/_/id/35307385/arizona-cardinals-coach-kliff-kingsbury-tenure-nearing-end-firing-resignation) in 2022. Not having the head coach be directly involved with the offense or quarterbacks could, in some ways, be better for Murray. With the Cardinals not landing a coach until this late in the offseason, many assistants have found work elsewhere because they didn't want to risk not having a job. Under Kingsbury, the Cardinals essentially had two head coaches -- Vance Joseph was the head coach of the defense and Kingsbury the offense. The Gannon hiring, however, keeps up with a trend of the past four coaches having alternating specialties. When Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill set out to find his fourth head coach in the past seven years, he said he would cast a net "far and wide," and he did. In Gannon, the Cardinals get a 40-year-old defensive mind who was one of the hottest names going into the coaching search. Gannon has shown what he can do with talent, although the Cardinals don't have as much as the Eagles.
