Ugly is as ugly does, and Sunday in the City of Brotherly Love, it is not “love” Arizona can expect. An ugly exit that left the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>\u00a0shocked and unprepared for the defensive coordinator position. Meanwhile, new Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort was reaching out to Gannon pre-Super Bowl. A charge that later showed tampering and swapping of draft picks to compensate Philadelphia. All this means a rude welcome when Jonathan Gannon goes to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

For Cardinals fans, Arizona could receive a beating akin to Tyson Spinks, the Detroit Pistons any night in the NBA, and the Expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For those who do not know or do not remember, Tampa began its NFL tenure losing 26 games in a row. Oh yes, they also suffered 14 consecutive losing seasons from 1983 to 1996. A radical change in everything from franchise colors to a radical uniform change, led to wait for it\u2026., winning.<\/p>\n

A Rude Welcome When Jonathan Gannon Goes to Philadelphia<\/h2>\n

“The next game on the schedule”<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0was his response at a Tuesday presser. Neither team has engaged in a race to the bottom but expect Eagles fans to gladly close the gap. In his wake, the former Philadelphia defensive coordinator and linebackers coach knows who his Arizona team is facing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know they\u2019re 11-4 battling for the one seed,\u201d the head coach added. \u201cA really good football team in all three phases. A lot of premium players, good players over there (who are) well coached and they play hard. It\u2019s going to be a big-time challenge.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Courtesy – azcentral.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Jonathan Gannon said it\u2019ll be nice to see Nick Sirianni, Howie Roseman and others when the #AZCardinals<\/a> take on the #Eagles<\/a>, but at the end of the day, it's just another week for the head coach:
\u00a0
"When the whistle blows, it's compete, compete, compete."<\/p>\n
