The Philadelphia Eagles are obviously extremely focused on Super Bowl 57 right now, but after the game, there are several big questions that will be answered over the next few days. One of those questions involves the coaching staff, as it looks like there could be some serious turnover this offseason. One coach who could be on the move is defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who has popped up as another potential head coaching candidate for the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cardinals have been searching for their next head coach after firing Kliff Kingsbury early on this offseason, and while it was initially reported they had locked in on New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo as their top two candidates, it looks like another name in Gannon has popped up as a real threat to land this job.

Jonathan Gannon has received a lot of praise for quietly turning the Eagles into one of the best defensive units in the league this season. Philly doesn't really have a weakness on defense, and while their offense rightly draws a fair amount of praise, it's clear their defense is another big reason why they have managed to make it to the Super Bowl this season.
Considering how the Cardinals haven't named a new head coach yet, there's a decent chance that they are waiting for the Eagles season to conclude before either conducting another interview with Gannon, or hiring him outright. Either way, it looks like the Cardinals will be making a decision on their next head coach soon, and Gannon could end up being their guy.
