"One possible option who spoke to Washington is no longer available. And it may have saved the Commanders from making a baffling mistake. The Green Bay Packers made Jonathan Gannon their new defensive coordinator. He's replacing Jeff Hafley, who was hired as the Miami Dolphins' head coach. This represents an outstanding opportunity to revive his coaching career almost immediately following his departure from the Arizona Cardinals."
"Gannon couldn't get a good enough tune out of some decent defensive pieces in Arizona. His motivational techniques have also come in for criticism, and the Cardinals' constant underachievement under his leadership eventually became his undoing. John Keim of ESPN always thought Gannon replacing Whitt was unlikely. The team insider didn't think this was a good fit, and he was right."
The Washington Commanders remain without a defensive coordinator after Joe Whitt Jr. was made surplus to requirements. Head coach Dan Quinn is conducting a careful search to find the right hire. Jonathan Gannon accepted the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator job, removing a candidate from Washington's list. Gannon struggled in Arizona, facing criticism for motivational techniques and team underperformance. Washington is now pursuing other candidates, including Raheem Morris and Al Harris. Al Harris interviewed with the Packers previously, which could benefit Washington. The team needs to name a coordinator soon to implement defensive changes.
