Cards Hire Jonathan Gannon as New HC

[YorkshireCardinal]

Interesting article from The Athletic, back from 2021 - behind a pay wall, but if you have an account worth a read.

Jonathan Gannon's rise to becoming Eagles defensive coordinator

It took a devastating injury for Jonathan Gannon to enter coaching. But he had the attributes to be a sought-after coach all along.

When is the introductory presser? I think Kevin Durant is having one on Thursday, so surely the Cards want to avoid fighting for media space with that?

That's a good read. I think everyone should read it and as it's an old article I don't feel bad for ripping it off.

Someone cleans the trash from his office 3 times a day?!? What is he doing in there?

Day#2, But Why?

 

[Minski]

The amount of abuse we are getting online for this hire is ridiculous. First it was Kyler and now its Gannon... many teams are adding new lines to my **** list, because of their fans.

See, this is the clownishness I can't stand. Reeks of "You got a winner in town". I get being excited but don't write a check that your azz can't cash. This job bears no resemblance to cake and dude's gonna realize quickly just what a job he has in front of him as he tries to construct a roster while changing the culture.

It's not going to work. I don't like the Smiths

I was about to say you seem like a Joy Division kinda guy.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Oh Nos!

The pump and dump Crypto guys have entered the chat.

 

[Absolute Zero]

“See you soo”. tsk tsk…. just like the SB. Started strong but couldn’t finish. lol

Well, at least we don't have to worry about Gannon becoming entangled with and distracted by the likes of KK's girlfriend....




Also, I love his intensity. Hopefully, that will carry over to the players.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Do you think doing a handshake with a player means you’re too cool with someone? Did you think he was going to turn into First Sergeant Gannon & tell Kyler to do 50 push-ups?

This isn’t Marine Boot Camp or Army Basic Training.

Gannon's expression when he was told Kyler was in the building was nothing like my vibe from Kingsbury. Bidwill looked so timid when he told him the young QB was there, and Kyler looked basically the same in the clip. This franchise was totally shell shocked by Keim, and it still shows on the owner's face and the QB from that clip to me. Gannon acted the complete opposite, totally confident and already it seems running over there with a sense of urgency (the situation with this franchise is not cool, and he understands that), as I had kidded almost like when a parent hears their kid is doing something wrong in the playground and runs over there with authority. If you want to know the character difference between Kliff and Jonathon, look at their facial expressions, one is intense while the other was like "cool, yeah I want another beer"... and that was the very definition of a firm handshake you could feel even from the video lol

Rich Gannon? Lol. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to call him that by mistake lol.

I guess my preference for an offensive mind made its unconscious existence known lol

 

[Covert Rain]

Let the organization and local media sales job begin!!!

P.S. I hope the guy ends up being a great coach, but I won't hold my breath with another coordinator.

 

[BritCard]

Look at the QB's in our conference, not a lot of star power there

South:
NO: ???
TB: ???
Car: Darnold?
ATL: ???

West:
SF: Lance
LA: washed Stafford
SEA: Geno

North:
CHI - Fields
GB - Jordan Love probably
MIN - Cousins
DET - Goff

East:
NY: Jones
DAL: Dak
PHI - Hurts
WAS - ???

Good point. A lot of teams are also in bad cap situations too.

Bucs, Saints, Rams, Packers, Panthers, Vikings, Cowboys and Eagles are all over the cap already. Many of them way over.

And that’s GREAT!!!! Some on this board just don’t get it. My biggest knock on the Bidwill family is that they meddle, meddle, meddle. The fact that MO got his guy means that MB stepped aside & let his GM make the decision. That gives me HOPE that maybe, just maybe, Michael will stop meddling & let his GM build this organization. It may take a few years, but this is the way successful franchises are built. Kudos to Michael & MO.

The biggest knock on this family was they were cheap. MB has proven that not to be true anymore. I believe MB wants to win. Firing his close friend Steve Kiem is a big step in the right direction.

 

[Goldfield]

Sorry forgot to add, dont love the 5 year contract, would have preferred 3/4 years

Just no

This part of the offseason cannot be said enough.

Keim is gone folks. And now that Michael doesn't have his golden boy GM around, real accountability can begin.

Thursday morning

Hopefully the days of Brian Billick calling Cardinal games are over. "Rich Gannon as the coach.. memories of future hall of fame wide receiver Larry Johnson.. and great defensive plays by former Cardinal standout Antron Rolle."
