The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> interviewed Jonathan Gannon to be their next defensive coordinator but opted to hire Christian Parker<\/a>. On Sunday morning, Gannon found his next stop.<\/p>\n

According to multiple reports<\/a>, Gannon has agreed to become the next defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

The Packers were a late addition to the coordinator market after their DC Jeff Hafley agreed to become the Dolphins\u2019 next head coach.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll join Matt LeFleur\u2019s coaching staff and coordinate a defensive unit led by former Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons. Gannon was fired after three seasons as the Cardinals\u2019 head coach from 2023-25 and compiled a 15-36 record. Prior to his stint in Arizona, he served as the Eagles\u2019 defensive coordinator from 2021-22.<\/p>\n

Gannon was a finalist for the Cowboys\u2019 DC vacancy and was one of three coaches brought in for in-person interviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his two seasons as Philadelphia\u2019s defensive coordinator, Gannon\u2019s defense jumped from 18th in points allowed and 10th in total yards to eighth and third, respectively.<\/p>\n

While there is not a date announced yet, the Cowboys will visit the Packers in 2026, so Dallas will face Gannon in Green Bay right away.<\/p>\n
