Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon's ranking places him in the bottom half of the latest Pro Football Network head coaching rankings, at No. 20, despite a season of notable improvement. Under Gannon's leadership, the Cardinals transitioned from a disappointing four-win team in 2022 to a more competitive eight-win team last season. With significant progress on offense, highlighted by a fifth-place finish in Offense+ metrics, and a respectable leap in defensive performance, Gannon has shown potential. However, lingering questions about player performances, particularly concerning quarterback Kyler Murray and rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., keep the Cardinals' future uncertain.

Despite an overall record of 12-22, Gannon has stabilized a team that faced challenges. While the defense struggled to crack the top half of the league, ranking 15th in points allowed this season was a marked improvement from its previous 31st place finish. As the team moves forward, fans hope to see continued progress, but Gannon's ranking reflects skepticism regarding his ability to elevate the Cardinals to a playoff-caliber team.
