The Arizona Cardinals have appointed former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon as their new head coach. Gannon was one of the NFL's most sought-after head coach candidates heading into the HC caroussel. His estimated net worth of $1 - 5 million was earned through his various coaching roles.
Landing the head coaching gig with the Cardinals will do wonders for Gannon's net worth. The former Eagles DC signed a five-year contract with the franchise and is likely to be rewarded handsomely.
First-year head coaches in the NFL typically command a salary of $3-5 million annually. Furthermore, successes down the line will only increase the young head coach’s pay.
Jonathan Gannon's prospects in the NFL
Jonathan Gannon's current contract is private knowledge at the time of writing, but it can be estimated by making calculated guesses.
By being one of the two main assistants for the Eagles, Gannon was expected to be earning between $1-3 million annually. It is worth noting that Gannon's former boss, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, earns an estimated $6-7 million per year.
The next logical step for Jonathan Gannon was to take on the role of HC. Such a role gives Gannon more flexibility to implement his preferred system and the chance to earn significantly more money.
How did the Philadelphia Eagles perform in the 2022-23 NFL season?
The Philadelphia Eagles had a thoroughly impressive 2022-23 NFL season, significantly exceeding expectations. The Eagles made the Super Bowl as one of the league's most effective sides on the defensive end of the ball.
They had a 14-3 regular season record and only dropped close games to the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, and New Orleans Saints. Following their stellar regular season campaign, they followed that up by romping past the New York Giants in a one-sided divisional round matchup.
They then pummeled the shorthanded San Francisco 49ers in the Conference Championship game. The Eagles eventually lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, but that shouldn't take away from an awesome season for the Philly faithful.
