Revenge of the Birds
The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon per multiple reports from Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter:
Gannon has been a question for the final part of the season as the Arizona Cardinals lost nine straight games, and was 15-36 overall. More troubling, Gannon was a paltry 2-19 when a quarterback not named Kyler Murray started a game.
Gannon is among the worst coaches in NFL history in terms of win percentage, finishing his first stint as a head coach with a 0.294 win percentage. That, coupled with a defense that never improved over his three seasons, as a defensive focused head coach is why this was going to happen.
Over the nine game losing streak, the Cardinals allowed 35.2 points per game, including four games over 40 points, including 40+ points in at least one game each to division rivals.
The Cardinals will be among a large group of teams needing a head coach, and the last several coaching cycles the Cardinals have been last in hiring.
We will see what happens next.
