The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon on Monday following the end of his third season on the job, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The firing comes after the Cardinals’ 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The head coach leaves Arizona with a 15-36 mark.
General manager Monti Ossenfort will conduct the search for a new head coach, per Schefter.
Gannon’s tenure in Arizona comes to an end with the Cardinals staring at a 3-14 record (0-6 in the NFC West) in 2025. That’s the most losses in a season in franchise history.
