The #Broncos requested an interview with #Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon for their head coaching job, per source.
Gannon, 39, has spent 15 years as an NFL assistant coach and scout. A rising coach who has turned around the playoff-bound Philly D.

The Eagles now have one of their assistant coaches land in the 2022 NFL coaching carousel after the Broncos requested permission to interview Jonathan Gannon.
A rookie defensive coordinator, Gannon came over from the Colts with head coach Nick Sirianni, and he has familiarity with Denver’s former staff, as he’s worked with Tom McMahon at Louisville, Pat Shurmur with the Rams and Vikings, and GM, George Paton.
Gannon got his coaching start as a student assistant and graduate assistant at Louisville under Bobby Petrino from 2003-2006, and he joined the famed coach in Atlanta, the beginning of his NFL experience.
Gannon’s defense in Philadelphia started off rocky and they were shredded by some of the NFL’s top passers. On the season, the Eagles defense was 11th in passing yards (3756), 20th in passing touchdowns allowed, 31st in sacks (29), and 9th in rushing yards allowed.
One of the youngest coordinators in the NFL, Gannon will likely get passed over this cycle, but it says a lot about what organizations around the league think about the Eagles defensive coordinator.
