New Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is set to interview coaches to be his new offensive coordinator. There are three reported candidates the Cardinals have requested to interview but one is the favorite.
According to Plains Dealer Cleveland Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot, the Cardinals have requested to interview Browns quarterback coach Drew Petzing, and he is expected to get the job.
This is no surprise as Petzing was connected to Gannon before the Cardinals announced he would be their new coach.
Gannon and Petzing worked together on the Minnesota Vikings’ staff from 2014-2017. Petzing was an offensive assistant and assistant wide receivers coach then, while Gannon was an assistant defensive backs coach.
Petzing has coached in the NFL since 2013. He was an outside linebackers coach for the Cleveland Browns in 2013.
He was with the Vikings from 2014-2019 in the aforementioned positions and then as an assistant quarterbacks coach and then wide receivers coach.
Since 2020, he has been with the Browns, first as a tight ends coach in 2020 and 2021 and then quarterbacks coach last season.
