Report: Gannon out on Texans HC; Likely to stay in Philadelphia

It looks like the Eagles will have their full coaching staff return for another year.

According to reporters, Defensive Coordinator Jonathan Gannon will no longer be in consideration for the head coaching job in Houston, and will likely be back in Philadelphia next season.

Multiple league sources have either been told or seen notification —and shared with me—Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon was informed, as of yesterday, he would not be receiving the head coach job for the #Texans, at said time. The process is ongoing.

Gannon was a rising star in the latest coaching cycle, having reportedly interviewed extremely well in Houston, Denver, and Minnesota. The move will seemingly mean, as of now, the Eagles will return all of their coaching staff for the first time since the 2016 offseason.

He will return to the team after three of his Eagle defenders made the Pro Bowl, and ranked in the top 10 in almost every defensive statistical category.

Stay tuned for more updates on Gannon’s apparent return to Philadelphia.
