Sources: Cardinals hiring Eagles' Jonathan Gannon as HC

The Arizona Cardinals are hiring Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon as their new head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move comes two days after the Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 and Gannon's defense gave up 24 second-half points in letting a 10-point halftime advantage slip away.

The other two finalists for the job were Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.

The 40-year-old Gannon had been the Eagles' defensive coordinator for the past two seasons and immediately made an impact.
