Four Potential Offensive Coordinators for New Cardinals Coach Jonathan Gannon

The Arizona Cardinals have found their next head coach in Philadelphia Eagles OC Jonathan Gannon.

The decision was made earlier this afternoon, as Gannon beat out fellow candidate and Cincinnati Bengals DC Lou Anarumo for the open position.

The Cardinals now fill the last void in the league at head coach, yet they still need an offensive coordinator.

Here's four potential names to watch with Gannon now assembling his staff in the desert.

Four Potential Offensive Coordinators for Cardinals Fans to Watch

Eric Bieniemy - This has been a popular name for plenty of coaching cycles, yet it's odd that somebody so engrained with Kansas City's success hasn't gotten an opportunity elsewhere. His agent via Pro Football Talk suggested the Cardinals OC opening would be an option depending on who got hired.

Drew Petzing- This was the rumored name Albert Breer dropped in a tweet before Gannon got the Cardinals job. Petzing spent some time with the Minnesota Vikings with varying titles on the offensive side of the ball (and where he met Gannon) before heading to Cleveland as tight ends coach in 2022.

Klint Kubiak- Another name-drop from Breer, who would have potentially followed Anarumo if he got the job in Arizona. Kubiak was an offensive assistant for the Broncos beginning in 2016 before heading to Minnesota as their QB coach and eventual OC in 2021 before moving to Denver last season as their passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach. And yes, he is the son of Gary Kubiak.

Brian Johnson- Johnson - Philly's QB coach - could have a few different avenues to choose from. The Eagles may promote him following the departure of Shane Steichen to Indianapolis. Some believe Johnson could follow either Steichen or Gannon to their new destinations, though he would have his fingerprints more on the show here in Arizona.

It seems more likely he would stay in a familiar place:

Eagles’ QB coach Brian Johnson, one of the NFL's most sought-after assistant coaches, who has received multiple requests to interview for offensive coordinator positions, would be expected to replace Shane Steichen as Philadelphia’s OC.
