Cards Hire Jonathan Gannon as New HC

[Arz101]

Very Nice.

Over / Under before Gannon looks for one way ticket to Thailand?

 

[Zeno]

I don't know enough about him to be disappointed or excited. Just like our GM only time will tell.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I guess at least he is a coach with NFL experience and came from a team that had a winning record. So we have that going for us this time around.

The Eagles did their best to retain Gannon

A) Props to Monti for getting his guy

B) Monti will have no excuses now because he got his guy

Quick thoughts:

Folks can say the Eagles were successful on defense solely because they were loaded with talent and folks can say he failed against the Chiefs but I believe this to be a solid, super bowl caliber hire that comes at a time when all we can do is work on our defense

It will likely take at least a full year to put a competitive offense on the field. But I, like everyone else am desperate to know who our OC will be

Last but not least, I sure hope Monti promised Gannon that Murphy and Allen won't just be back but they will be so long-term

And good on Bidwill for staying the funk out of the way during all of this

This doesn't get me excited, but as @Brian in Mesa pointed out, only 2 of the nearly a dozen that were hired along with KK in 19 are left. So who knows!

He's a man, he's 40!

It reminded me of this, but he is really 40.

Looks 25 with a hat I guess

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

The bum looking Browns QB coach to run the offense? LOL

Can we go back in time and get Flores and Caldwell?

 

[BritCard]

I'm glad it's resolved and I'm glad with the way it was handled.

I don't think we can moan about Keim and the way he did things then complain we didn't do it the way he did which was bring in 4 guys in 3 days then hire the one you like best on day 4.

Monti did his research, made an extensive list, interviewed them as and when available and hired the guy that was always high on his list.

We asked for different and we got different. Let's trust Monti knows what he's doing until proved otherwise.

[RON_IN_OC]

From an August interview with his former high school. I wonder if there's more to find and watch.

No more than 3 Nfl seasons.

This is Monti's guy. No doubt about it.

This feels like Brandon Staley 2.0.

I do wish he'd hire Bienemy as his OC, but hey the buddy system.

 

[juza76]

The dude reminds me Ryan Giggs

 

[cardpa]

I would have preferred the Bengal's DC however I am willing to give him a fair opportunity to turn the ship around. He gets a three year window from me. I don't expect a SB by year three, but I do expect a serious run at a playoff spot.

I guess the real question now is how is our GM going to build the defense to a point where it can function well enough to keep the team in games and how the Oline will get filled.

 

[NittanyCard]

Might as well

Wish it was Brandon Staley.

Genius on defense. time will age him into one of the great coaches

Exactly!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Any news on Vance Joseph yet??

 

[Red Bird]

Yay? Hopefully him and Monti can get this thing moving in the right direction.

 

[Harry]

I’ll believe this works when I see it.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Any news on Vance Joseph yet??

he'll end up being 9er DC
