Cards Hire Jonathan Gannon as New HC

[Son of RedRage]

WTF do fans know compared to the several football execs that interviewed 13 candidates?

Just because they have the job doesn't mean we can't criticize the hire. After the last 9 years of Keim, I don't think saying 'well he has the job, so he must know best!' really means anything.

I am not worried about the points given up, I am concerned about how you managed to force only 1 incompletion in the second half.

He got absolutely worked at halftime adjustments.

I imagine people were worried about Shanny only scoring 7 in the 2nd half vs the Pats

Can't wait to hear this - 98.7 FM is opening its lines to get fan reactions to the hiring of Gannon...

What Philly FAs can we have?

CB James Bradberry
NT Fletcher Cox
DT Javon Hargrave

Albert Beer: Jonathan Gannon was quietly a front-runner for the job from the minute Monti Ossenfort landed the GM spot. The two got to know each other over the last year, and Ossenfort sees Gannon as having the "it" factor necessary in a head coach.

Well either they both suck or they are both good.

We won't be arguing about whether to blame Mike or Monti!

Good with the hire of Gannon, time will tell. More importantly who is the OC and no VJ as the DC. These two hires need to be nailed.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I'm pretty meh about it too. But since he is a defensive guy, he will likely want Vance gone. That was my number 1 fear (retaining Vance) and that fear is mostly gone..

It also makes me stoked about drafting one of Carter/Anderson.

We are more focused on coach record
A gm and owner have more elements, they can fall in love with a coach cause of his character traits more then his record

Criticize on what basis?

 

[Brian in Mesa]

So far callers are mixed.

Scheme is overrated.

I’ll wait and see

So far callers are mixed.

You have to down a beer every time someone says 2nd half of the superbowl.

 

[PJ1]

Maybe his only safe way out of Philly was to go into the witness protection program. So he agreed to come here.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Isnt Wilks their new DC

That's what I was thinking.

Cardinals gave their new head coach, Jonathan Gannon, a five-year contract.

 

[WiscoBird]

Gannon could easily survive a Kyler breakup if he's doing other things well. Kliff's downfall was that he was only brought in to be a Kyler whisperer and failed at that.

Anything is possible, but he would need to come out the gates next year with a great first half. If this team struggles out the gates and it continues with Kyler then his second year is make or break. This fan base is growing tired. No way he gets to a third season if Kyler fails and he produces 10 wins in 2 seasons.

 

[GatorAZ]

Shanahan had a SB meltdown before getting hired by SF and it turned out well. That’s all I got lol

 

[Mainstreet]

This helps explain the Cardinals not hiring a head coach sooner.

I don't know enough about him to comment if it was a good hire but a flashy hire not does always equate to a good hire.

Congratulations to the Cardinals and fans.

30+ points given up in the Super Bowl ....

I'll hope for the best, but when any defense gives up 30 points in ANY game they were out coached, out witted, and their defense was a joke to the other teams offensive coordinator.

To be fair, it was against Mahomes and Reid, best QB/HC in the NFL. And one of the TD's was s frgrndibr TD.

Worked for Kingsbury.

They're soon going to have to start offering 10 year contracts just for someone to take the job.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

This hire reminds of KK, but on the defensive side. Very high risk, with a slight chance of upside.

5 seems to be Mike's favorite number.

Not surprising. Doesn't Bidwill give EVERYONE a five-year contract?

Eric Bieniemy for OC
