Who Is Eagles Coach Jonathan Gannon? Houston Texans Want Interview
HOUSTON - The Houston Texans have on Monday requested permission to interview Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
Gannon, 39, is also on the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos' list of candidates to be their head coach, according to sources.
A former Indianapolis Colts assistant, Gannon was a first-time defensive coordinator this year with the Eagles and under his direction the defense finished 10th overall and the Eagles qualified for the NFL playoffs as a wild card team out of the NFC East. The Eagles were ousted from the playoffs on Sunday in a loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs.
Gannon had previously been an assistant secondary coach with the Vikings before joining the Indianapolis Colts as a secondary coach.
