Cards Hire Jonathan Gannon as New HC

[Chopper0080]

That's not what I said. I think it sounds very much like what Sean Payton said about Kyler. He's extremely talented. No one doubts this.

I don't think that there's a coach out there who wouldn't want Kyler Murray on their team. Everyone is going to be intruiged by the talent. It just sounded super-hedgy to me.

I believe this may have been intentional. Seemed like one of a couple of directly indirect messages to Kyler. Same with his "if it is to be, it is up to me" saying. Same with his "I can help Kyler" statement.

For those who crave acknowledgement of the lowest bars of success...Gannon did not crap the bed in his initial press conference.

 

[Vacard]

He, however, was asked if he'd be calling plays, and he deferred in a way that suggested that interviews to follow would impact this decision.

I know. He should delegate the play calling to his DC. Imo

 

[Goldfield]

Extremely confident guy. Not phased at all about the occasion or being in the spot light. Very good communicator.

A lot of this coaching introductions have been awkward car crashes for a lot of teams and first time head coaches. He's handling it well.

Very impressive. Very excited to see how this plays out.

Having been Jesuit educated and remembering how servant/leadership was emphasized, I can appreciate how he frames his approach to process-driven success.

He's confident and direct in a manner I appreciate, which contrasts with my impression of KK from day one.

 

[Goldfield]

In all fairness, if he was Monti's hire and if he has a realistic vision, that is a nice change if nothing else. I know some disagree with this but I still believe there is no way he survives if Kyler doesn't work. Basically, if he is looking for a QB in year 3, his chances of success plummet significantly.

That is with pretty much any HC right?

Kliff was a deer in the headlights, JG is completely the opposite.

To anyone who is not impressed with our new head coach...
"show me on the doll where the Cardinals hurt you"

 

[TruColor]

I was way more impressed than I imagined I'd be.

I'm in.

Lol… I’m pretty sure we all have the same scars, but funny nonetheless.

Count on you for faint praise.

And what more could a fan 'crave' for or be satiated by on February 16th?

Couldn't even keep his kid from crying during the conference, how is he supposed to lead a locker room?

 

[Goldfield]

Same. That’s the smart way of saying this is how I can show Kyler what he’s doing wrong.

Yup

He’s calm and not afraid to say stuff that will grab headlines like playing violent or not having a scheme. Whether he bombs or not remains to be seen but he’s not just a guy who’s happy to be here like Kliff.

 

[Goldfield]

I was way more impressed than I imagined I'd be.

I'm in.

Same, I went from “Hope this works out” to “This dude is impressive”.

I’m excited to see what’s next. He’s going to make mistakes as a first time HC. But I’m willing to bet he learns fast.

 

[DVontel]

I will say that hiring Gannon with a defensive background may increase our interest in retaining Murphy and Allen. I would like to see both back even if it will be tough financially.

More importantly, I thought it increased the chances of drafting Anderson or Carter instead of trading back.

 

[Totally_Red]

Kliff was a deer in the headlights, JG is completely the opposite.

If you knew nothing about either you'd assume JG was an experienced head coach and Kliff had never been a head coach

 

[Totally_Red]

I watched the Steichen presser in Indy Tuesday. This was way more impressive. Let's Go!!!

 

[Jetstream Green]

The Cardinals will be violent and their fans will be violent

 

[YorkshireCardinal]

JG to speak with Vance today

Is it just me or can you see Gannon, at some point, telling Mike or Monti to go F yourself?
