This is officially Monti Ossenfort’s team and whether you wanted Gannon or not, this signals that MB is giving Ossenfort the control. https://t.co/1aEqmEH5Rr

Every GM in this hiring cycle wanted Gannon.
Whether their ownership did or not.— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) February 14, 2023

Make no mistake, Jonathan Gannon is Monti Ossenfort's hire.
If you're going to bitch about Michael Bidwill's involvement then bitch about this hire, you're just a miserable person who'd complain about anything.— Chuck Harris (@chuckh3) February 14, 2023
Known to have command-the-room qualities that should help the culture shift in AZ https://t.co/9RdZN4mpjg

Jonathan Gannon was quietly a front-runner for the job from the minute Monti Ossenfort landed the GM spot. The two got to know each other over the last year, and Ossenfort sees Gannon as having the "it" factor necessary in a head coach. https://t.co/6Gy3iNasM0

Gannon and Ossenfort. The future.
Only time will tell whether it works, but for now I’m ready to dive all in on supporting them! Let’s go! pic.twitter.com/6yhVA0uVku— Jason Hayes (@JasonHayesNFL) February 14, 2023
JG is as impressive as it gets in production meetings.
I could tell about 5 minutes into the first one that he would be a head coach. And soon.— Ross Tucker (@RossTuckerNFL) February 14, 2023
But not everyone was exactly thrilled with the Jonathan Gannon hire for Arizona:
The Arizona Cardinals just hired someone who couldn't get it done when playing against playoff teams or good QBs the last 2 seasons.
Let's hope he can make up for that by being the leader of men that Michael Bidwill and Monti Ossenfort see him as.— Alex Clancy (@ClancysCorner) February 14, 2023
The Eagles won't miss Gannon at all.

"I've never heard of Jonathan Gannon until today but this is a horrible hire and I'm mad"

Others are taking a wait-and-see approach to Jonathan Gannon's tenure with the NFL team:
My reaction to Jonathan Gannon is…wait and see.
Seems like a solid coach, players say good things, new GM is a fan.. Getting out coached in the Super Bowl was a tough watch. Thought it should’ve been a more old school guy like Lou… who I know could set the culture for the… https://t.co/TEsMfKBQEy— Cameron Cox (@CamCox12) February 14, 2023
