Jonathan Gannon knew Shane Steichen was destined to be an NFL head coach almost from the moment they joined the Philadelphia Eagles staff in 2021. So Gannon started taking notes.

Together, they formed one heck of a tag-team tandem along with the guy who hired them in Philadelphia, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. Gannon also had a Sirianni connection going back to their Indianapolis tenures when Gannon was the Colts defensive backs coach in 2018. Three years later, Gannon followed Sirianni to Philadelphia for a chance, his first, at being defensive coordinator.Gannon said. “We worked for a really good boss, but we were kind of in the foxhole together and really learned a lot about him.”
Not surprisingly, their successful runs instantly turned Gannon and Steichen into hot commodities as head coaching candidates. It didn’t take long for both to leave the Eagles and pursue their passions as head coaches.“Absolutely great leader,” Steichen said of Gannon. “The two years I was working in Philly, just a tremendous guy, great energy. You can feel him on the defensive side of the ball, and then sometimes as a coordinator you get a chance to talk to the team in team settings.
