The Cardinals were the first head coaching job of Gannon's career. The hope was that his success as the defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles would pair well with dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray, but it never came to fruition.
Gannon finishes his tenure with Arizona with a combined 15-36 record, never finishing higher than third place in the NFC West. This season, the Cardinals went 3-14, and had more losses (14) than the rest of the division combined (13).
Here is more on why the Cardinals fired Gannon.

Why did Cardinals fire Jonathan Gannon?
Arizona fired Gannon for a fresh start. The Cardinals only gave him three seasons, but he went a combined 15-36 overall. Gannon went 4-13 in his first season in 2023, and improved to 8-9 in year two in 2024. Unfortunately, whether it was due to big injuries on offense or other factors, Arizona finished the 2025 season with a 3-14 record in last place of the NFC West.
