HC Gannon believes he will return as HC in 2026

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I put this in the Kyler thread but it really goes here.

In Whiz's last season he was so injured he had to use 4 different QBs. Those 4 QBs combined to throw for 11 TDs and 21 INTs. Despite all those injuries, he still managed to win 5 games over the 16 game schedule and his net point differential was 10 higher than Gannon's this year.

By all measures, he had a superior year to Gannon and had taken us to our only Super Bowl appearance. He was still fired. Good thing because that allowed us to hire Arians, who took us to an entirely new level.

I'm curious, @Harry and, to a lesser degree because of stubbornness, @PACardsFan. What real optimism does keeping MOJG give you. What do they excel at? Failing that, what are they very good at? What are they above average at? What are they even average at? I'm curious.

I'm not looking for the injury excuses. I think that's total BS for a team that's never been good, but besides, I'm looking for what they are good at as a football operation. I'm not looking for Kyler excuses either. What do they excel at, what are they very good at, what are they above average at?

I think I’ve been clear they should move on from Gannon. That said. I’m hearing from more people they expect him to be retained. The only exception is if they could grab a released head coach, like Harbaugh. They would ask clandestinely if he had an interest. As to Ossenfort I believe he should stay. I thought his change in free agency tactics indicated he learned from failed strategies. Too many GMs don’t. I like his drafts better than others, believing you can’t hold GMs responsible for injuries unless there’s an injury history. Even then I like taking the gamble on Johnson. Slow and steady wins the race.

Brian think he needs Josh Allen to fully evaluate Gannon.

I'd be ok with Allen...LOL

 

[Crimson Warrior]

This is not happening!

No Universe! I will not accept JG as Cardinals HC for 2026!

because they wished him happy birthday

I don’t think they put that out today if he were getting fired.

 

[Harry]

Who are the three best players who got injured for this team this season. How long were they out?

Nolen, Conner & Wilson. First 2 almost all season; latter 8 games.

the twitter account is ran by a social media person who wishes everybody on the team and staff a happy birthday on their birthday

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Conner was so washed before he got hurt. Just a dumb extension / game plan to build the offense around a RB over 30

Fascinating decision?

That’s like when Darren Urban said it would be fascinating to see who gets the number zero on the Cardinals team when zeros were allowed to be warn all of a sudden… lol

Love the guy but there is better available at the same price.

Nolen, Conner & Wilson. First 2 almost all season; latter 8 games.

But Monti putting the franchise in the hands of a 30 year old RB, a rookie DT, and Mack Wilson Sr was good roster building?

None of this indicates this was a playoff-ready roster in the 50th percentile scenario.

LOL Mack Wilson. He got injured in November when we were 3-6. Difference-maker.

 

[Mulli]

What do they do well without injures?

What are their strengths if they stayed healthy?

The answer is pretty clear

 

[PACardsFan]

Then what is your excuse for the epic collapse after the 6-4 start in 2024. That team went 2-5 down the stretch including embarrassing losses at home vs Seattle and on the road vs a pathetic Carolina team. That team had a totally intact offense and most pieces on the defense. Add in the decision to kick a field goal vs Minnesota instead of going for the touchdown and putting the game out of reach. Gannon has done less with far greater talent than Dave McGinnis and that is saying something.

The 2024 team was in year 2 of a COMPLETE TEAR DOWN. They were better than 2023, but by NO MEANS were they a finished product or a playoff team. They beat every team they were better than, and lost to every team they weren’t. They were the definition of average! You people need to go back and watch or listen to the Bidwill/Ossenfort interviews when the tear down began. They were NOT looking for overnight success. They were going to build through a PROCESS, even if that process took time.

 

[Mulli]

Sad. So sad.

This is NOT about 3 frickin players. It’s the accumulation of OVER 30 injured players that sunk this team.

Is it really his birthday or did Michael Bidwill tell him it is his birthday?

 

[Brian in Mesa]

So far he’s gone 1-10 with one. What more do you need to know?

He has a perennial backup QB, not a starter.

 

[Mulli]

He has a perennial backup QB, not a starter.

He was the starter this year. Picked by Gannon.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

He was the starter this year. Picked by Gannon.

He is starting games in place of our generational QBOTF Kyler Murray who injured his toe.

And boy don’t wish we had him playing. 2-20 without him.
