🔴 BREAKING NEWS! Packers to Interview Former Head Coach Gannon for DC! Is He The Guy? 🔴

Jonathan Gannon Packers defensive coordinator interview news 2026: Jeff Hafley Dolphins head coach hiring, former Arizona Cardinals HC Gannon to interview, Daronte Jones and Christian Parker update, and Packers news.

Packer Nation, the search for a new defensive leader has taken a massive turn! As of Wednesday morning, January 21, 2026, the Green Bay Packers are reportedly adding some serious head coaching experience to their candidate list. According to Mike Garafolo and multiple NFL insiders, the Packers are slated to interview former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon for their vacant Defensive Coordinator position this week. Fresh off the "Black Monday" firing cycle, Gannon is one of the most polarizing names on the market—but he brings a resume that Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur are clearly taking seriously.

In this video, we break down the "Gannon Gamble." We analyze his stint in Arizona, where he went 15-36 over three seasons, and ask: Does his record as a head coach matter, or should we focus on his 2022 Philadelphia Eagles defense that ranked 2nd in yards and helped lead a Super Bowl run? We dive into the stats, looking at his reputation for "fire and accountability" and his history of coaching elite secondaries. Is he the right man to lead Xavier McKinney and Jaire Alexander? We also discuss the fierce competition for his services—Gannon just finished an interview with the Dallas Cowboys and has interest from the Titans and Commanders. Plus, we provide the latest on the other three heavy hitters in this search: Christian Parker, Daronte Jones, and the local favorite, Jim Leonhard. Is Gannon the "big game" hire the Packers need to finally bring a trophy back to Titletown?

🏈 Packers DC Candidate Tracker (Jan 21, 2026):

Jonathan Gannon: Fired as Cardinals HC after a 3-14 season. Known for a 2022 Eagles defense that led the NFL in sacks and was top-10 in almost every category.

Christian Parker (Eagles): Interviewed Tuesday. A rising star who spent 2019-2020 in Green Bay. Also a finalist for the Dallas opening.

Daronte Jones (Vikings): The "rival raid" candidate. Led the NFL's #1 pass defense in Minnesota this past season.

Raheem Morris: Rumored to be on the "shortlist" due to his long-standing relationship with Matt LaFleur.

The Roster Move: In a related bombshell, the Packers officially released CB Trevon Diggs today after his brief stint, clearing $15.5M in cap space—perhaps for a new DC's preferred targets?
