Eagles Hire Jonathan Gannon As Defensive Coordinator
4 years agoThe Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with Indianapolis Colts defensive backs coach Jonathan Gannon to be their next defensive coordinator, according to sources. Gannon worked with new Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni in Indianapolis. Gannon was with the Colts as their defensive backs coach since 2018, so he worked with Sirianni for the last three seasons. Under Gannon's help in 2020, Indianapolis' defense had the No. 8 defense in the NFL, and he played a huge role in developing young defensive backs such as Xavier Rhodes, Rock Ya-Sin, Kenny Moore, Khari Willis and Julian Blackmon. Gannon was an assistant defensive backs coach for the Vikings for four seasons prior to joining the Colts. His first job in the NFL was in 2007 as a defensive assistant with the Falcons.
