Arizona Cardinals Fire Jonathan Gannon After Three Seasons

The Arizona Cardinals have parted ways with head coach Jonathan Gannon after a disastrous 2025 campaign that ended with a 3-14 record and a nine-game losing streak.

According to reports from Adam Schefter, the decision was made following years of defensive struggles and repeated fourth-quarter collapses. The Cardinals now hold the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, with general manager Monti Ossenfort tasked with finding the next head coach.
