Cardinals rumor offers insight into Jonathan Gannon's future in Arizona

The NFL season is getting messy, and questions about coaching futures are popping up fast. In Arizona, will Jonathan Gannon feel his seat getting warmer, or survive another year?

Gannon himself had a blunt take on his job security: “Not controllable for me. I didn’t hire myself. I’m not going to fire myself.” Arizona sits at 3-7 after tough losses to division rivals, but five of their losses came by just 13 points combined.

Inside the league, people think owner Michael Bidwill isn’t about to pull the trigger after this year. Gannon’s on a five-year deal, and moving on now would mean paying three coaches—Gannon, former GM Steve Keim, and Kliff Kingsbury—for at least two more seasons. One source said it plainly: “I don’t foresee the owner paying two years of salary unless it’s really bad.” Add the Kyler Murray question looming, and it looks like Gannon’s seat is warm—but not on fire.
