Jonathan Gannon is set to be this year’s Nick Sirianni, as the Eagles defensive coordinator has become the hot name on the coaching circuit.

It was initially assumed that Gannon would get an interview and then return to the Eagles for more seasoning and experience, but he’s now interviewed for three vacancies – Denver, Houston, and Minnesota.

The Eagles are continuing to add to their staff and according to Mike Kaye, Jonathan Gannon has hired former Minnesota Vikings assistant linebackers coach Nick Rallis as the teams’ new linebackers coach.

Rallis will replace Ken Flajole, who had his contract expire after working under former head coach Doug Pederson.

Rallis just finished his fourth season of coaching and 3rd as the Vikings defensive quality control coach in 2020.

Prior to joining the Vikings Rallis spent the 2017 season as a graduate assistant at Wake Forest.

During his time with the Vikings, Rallis assisted the defensive staff and worked under co-defensive coordinator/LBs coach Adam Zimmer, where he crossed paths with new Eagles defensive coordinator, Jonathan Gannon during the 2017 season.

Another young hire, the 27-year-old Rallis played linebacker at the University of Minnesota from 2012-16.

Rallis is the brother of WWE Superstar, Riddick Moss.
