  1. Oh, you mean the guy who skimped on bothering prepare for the Super Bowl, was hoping to coast on the talent of his players (again), and then had no plan and couldn’t figure out how to pivot when that failed, and cost us the Super Bowl?

    Yea, I’m pissed at him too.

  2. thats totally fucked.

    the lying is insane too. like saying he only found out about it after the game, and then before the game saying “win or lose, ill be back with the eagles”, when all this was already set.

  3. My new theory is Gannon knew Arizona wanted to hire him so he intentionally put on the worst performance in their home stadium to try not to get hired but the Cardinals are so poverty they didn’t care.

    At least that’s what I tell myself to feel better about the super bowl.

    Edit: holy shit you idiots it’s fucking sarcasm

  4. I always disliked this guy during the season. Then he said “gut them” before the NFC Title game and everyone including myself gave him a pass

  5. The biggest fucking loser in Philadelphia sports history. (Coming from a city that had Ben Simmons and Orlando Scandrick lol)

  6. Wow. What an absolute POS.

    I knew I never liked him and thought he ran the defense like an absolute pussy, but now I’m literally disgusted by him.

    May have cost us a Super Bowl.

  7. What a fucking loser, how you aren’t going to focus on the biggest game of your life (because lets be real he’s the head coach of the fucking arizona cardinals).

  8. I’m not buying all this distracted crap, I just don’t think he was good and got exposed by KC.

    Like watch the videos of him introducing himself to the cardinals players. Such a fool.

  9. If Howie knew and the “No, no, don’t get on the plane, stay here and interview” was done passive aggressively, then he will somehow have gained *another* notch in my eyes.

  10. Yeeeeeah, fuck Jonathan Gannon. I find it hilarious he thinks the Philly fan base hates assistant coaches, when we have nothing but praise for the late and great Jim Johnson (RIP). Show up to work and give it your all, we’ll respect you.

    Nothing left to do now but push through and give it another crack at the Super Bowl. Good fucking riddance, you bum.

  11. If they’re cheating to be with you, they’ll end up cheating on you. Cards will get what they deserve.

  12. His statement saying “I didn’t know I was interviewing until Howie told me,” is sounding more like a lie a kid comes up with when they get caught and can’t think of an alibi

  13. I ****NEVER*** thought I’d hate someone more that I hate Chip Kelly. Jonathan Gannon is a giant piece of shit. This bitch boy has been huma numa na his way through the fucking off season to explain away his dickless defense – which our guys executed like they were told to do – and this coward mentally blew the game?!?

    Fuck you, John Gannon.

  14. The part about being “giddy” after the Super Bowl must have driven Howie and Lurie crazy.

  15. His behavior sounds bad, but I think the narrative that it distracted him from the Super Bowl is a little ridiculous. Winning that would only make him look even better, as a Suoer Bowl winning coach. No one in that position is just going to half ass the big game. We can both accept that his gameplan failed and he was double dealing.

  16. And just about all the Eagles fans are furious with him also. I’m glad he stayed in Arizona after the way he ran the Eagles defense the second half of the Super Bowl.

  17. Not defending the guy, but this fanbase LOVED him when he said we’re “gonna fucking gut” the Niners.

  18. I always hated gannon and knew he was a mediocre coach coasting on the immense talent of his defense.

    It’s nice everyone else came around.

  19. Is this from Hayes? He’s a clown. I suppose Gannon is too but can’t trust much from Hayes.

  20. What I got from this is that Lurie went gangsta and shook Cards for some draft cap right before the draft. Hilarious.

  21. I’m not a Gannon fan as a DC, but this article is literally based on the CJGJ tweet and what 2 league sources say their Eagles sources said. Literally the weakest justification for a hit piece ever when you have the GM & HC literally say the opposite. Of course the team asked for more compensation; that’s their job.

  22. Gannon’s a twerp. Dude thinks he’s cool as hell. You see him in the AZ draft room? He’s gonna lose that locker room immediately. Pound that under on Cardinal wins next year

  23. Once he was hired my conspiratorial mind clicked on the location of the Super Bowl and the team that just hired him and wondered.

    It made it little surprise when the penalty was levied. Frankly though I just thought this is more egregious than a 2 for 1 that moved us up in the third round.

    I’m good that we got pick 66, but aside from that….fuck this. How is this any deterrent for other teams to pull the same shit again?

    And fuck that balding little troll for not being an adult and keeping what’s in front of him….in front of him.

  24. This was obvious. One of the evals of the Eagles defense and greatest weakness was motion..Somethin the Chiefs utilized heavy. Some of the players looked completely lost or just didn’t do the basics of covering motion. Gannon had weeks to prep this tea for it and it didn’t..

    However, I will say it wasnt 100% on him. We would love say the team just got outplayed..But lets be Fucking honest. The field conditions completely screwed the Eagles over,

  25. While I agree that he’s the absolute biggest piece of shit in the universe, I don’t think him talking with Arizona had anything to do with him being “not focused” or unprepared for the super bowl. His defensive scheme has been ass for two years, and he’s always flopped against better coaches/quarterbacks, and has never made many adjustments. Even if he were 100% focused on the super bowl, I don’t think anything would have changed
