If its down to Gannon and Lou, then they want a defense-minded coach.

The Eagles were great during the regular season in terms of yards/game (2nd to the Bengals 16th), but the Bengals were actually better in terms of the key points/game (6th to the Eagles 8th).

But the way Lou handled KC versus Gannon was night and day.

Guess it comes down to who Arizona feels has the right leadership and PR capabilities, and can actually turn around that underperforming franchise.

it doesn't help Gannon that Eagles fans seem to want him gone:

"Per Adam Schefter, Gannon is scheduled to meet with the Arizona Cardinals for their vacant head-coaching job. There are many Eagles fans that hope he gets the job, but only because they want him off of this coaching staff. He’s done some good things during the most recent season, but again, Birds fans will never forget him for what happened in Super Bowl LVII."

The author even thinks the Eagles will consider not bringing Gannon back: "Maybe we’re emotional, but at this juncture, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he returns as Eagles defensive coordinator in 2023. He may have overstayed his welcome, but we’ll see what happens."

Another thing that we hamper Lou with is our propensity not to upgrade talent during the season. Philly loses a couple DTs they go out and sign Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph. We lose players and we get "win with what you got". We never replaced our CB#1, we never replaced Reeder when he was out. And worst we sat on our hands when LC and Kappa went down. It cost us the Superbowl
