After losing in Super Bowl LVII, Gannon cancelled his flight and stayed in Arizona to speak with Cardinals’ owner Michael Bidwill on back-to-back days.

It is hard to say no to the 60-degree Arizona winters…

While Gannon brings plenty of talent at such a young age, it would be naive to say he was the Cardinals’ first choice.

Leaving many fans across the valley with mixed feelings about the recent hire.

with Jonathan Gannon as our HC and potential DC in Nick Rallis – I feel we about to see the breakout of Simmons and Collins to be the next great linebacker duo that we know they can be!!

Jonathan Gannon vs Lou Anarumo. I still think Anarumo was a better option with a higher ceiling. I want the guy that beats Mahomes 3 outta 4 times with fewer pro bowlers. We’ll see. Prove me wrong Coach Gannon. Please. #AZCardinals #RiseUpRedSea #BirdGang

Watching Brian Flores and Lou Anarumo get shunned has been two more letdowns in what has been the most agonizing 14 months of my🐦🏈 fandom. That said, I wish to give Monti Ossenfort, Jonathan Gannon and the 2023 team a fresh slate, a swift reset and all the hope in my heart.

Jonathan Gannon and Kyler Murray just feel right for each other

Cardinals watched Jonathan Gannon get absolutely schooled by Andy Reid on the biggest stage inside their own building and thought, "Yeah. That's the guy. Hire him" https://t.co/iCxxkQ3tQ0

Jonathan Gannon has no experience, runs a confusing defense that leads to blown coverage and the eagles had one of the softest regular seasons ever and he deserves it more then Eric Bieniemy ??? Am I missing something
