Green Bay Packers are shaking things up on the defensive side of the ball. They've just snagged Jonathan Gannon, the former Cardinals head coach, to be their new defensive coordinator. This move comes after Jeff Hafley, who held the position for the past two seasons, left to take on a head coaching role with the Miami Dolphins. Gannon's journey to Green Bay hasn't been straightforward. After being let go by the Cardinals following the 2025 regular season, he's been on the lookout for new opportunities. His track record as a head coach in Arizona wasn't stellar, with a record of 15 wins and 36 losses over three seasons. But before that, he made a name for himself as the Eagles' defensive coordinator for two years. His time in Philadelphia was impressive, and if he can bring that same energy to Green Bay, he might just find himself back in the running for a head coaching gig in the future.
So, what does this mean for the Packers? Well, Gannon's experience and track record suggest he knows his way around a defense. But can he turn things around for a team that's been struggling on that side of the ball? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure, though: the Packers are betting on him to bring some much-needed improvement to their defense.
