The Arizona Cardinals came out firing (literally) to start their offseason endeavors, as the team relieved head coach Jonathan Gannon of his duties on Monday. The team lost their season finale on the road against the Los Angeles Rams 37–20, capping off the nine-game losing streak.

Gannon was the Cardinals' coach for three years, and he compiled a 15–36 record over that span. However, the team went from eight wins in 2024 to just three in 2025, leading to a quick hook from upper management.

What most people don’t know is that Gannon’s final game as the Cardinals’ coach came on a very special day for him, as he celebrated his 43rd birthday that day.
