The Arizona Cardinals have officially fired head coach Jonathan Gannon after three seasons with the franchise.
This season was a disappointing one for the Cardinals, who finished with a 3-14 record, including nine straight losses to close out the year.

Throughout Gannon’s three-year tenure, the Cardinals had a 15-36 record and failed to reach the postseason.
The underwhelming season can be partly credited to the unfortunate amount of injuries the team faced. Arizona had 42 different players miss a combined 309 games due to injury, the most in the NFL.
Back in November, Gannon acknowledged that he may be in the hot seat.
“Yeah, not a controllable for me,” Gannon said. “That’s the business we’re in. If you don’t want to be in that business, we laugh, we joke, go work somewhere else. I’m going to control the controllables for myself. You know, come to work and do the best job that I can.”
Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort will reportedly remain in his position and help the franchise search for a new head coach.
