Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is reportedly interviewing for a number of positions, including the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator opening, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
The position was left vacant after Jeff Hafley, who was a candidate for Arizona’s top opening, took the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching job.
Gannon has also had interest from the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders for their defensive coordinator openings, and he interviewed for the Tennessee Titans’ head coaching position before Robert Saleh landed the position.
Gannon was fired last week from his post as Arizona’s head coach. He finished his Cardinals tenure with a 15-36 record and zero playoff appearances following a 3-14 season.
Dallas and Washington would mark a potential return to the defensive coordinator ranks for Gannon. Heading to Dallas would also reunite Gannon with Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams, who served under Gannon as Arizona’s offensive line coach for two seasons (2023-24).

Before Gannon’s Arizona stint, the former head coach served as the Philadelphia Eagles’ DC from 2021-22.
During that time, the Eagles posted the second-best defense in the league behind 301.5 yards per game. The unit was especially tough against the pass, posting the fewest yards allowed through the air with 179.8 per game. It was also tied for fourth in takeaways with 27 and eighth in points allowed with 20.2 per game.
He went onto to coach the Cardinals in 2023 following Philadelphia’s Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
With Kyler Murray on the mend from a torn ACL and a roster lacking serious talent, expectations were low for Gannon in his first year with the Cardinals. He posted a 4-13 mark in Year 1 before taking a step forward behind an 8-9 record in 2024. At one point, Arizona led the NFC West before an end-of-season collapse.
That downturn only poured into this past season. Despite winning their first two games, the Cardinals failed to put much good on the paper, winning just one more game on their way to a 3-14 mark.
A day after the season ended, Gannon got the boot, with Arizona once again starting a head-coaching search.
