Report: Eagles hire Colts’ DB coach as new defensive coordinator

After Nick Sirianni was announced (by everyone except the Eagles) as the next Philadelphia head coach, all eyes were focused on who his staff would be. One of those positions seems to be filled:

Colts secondary coach Jonathan Gannon has emerged as the clear favorite for the Eagles defensive coordinator job, and it looks like he'll take it. Philly's working through the final stages of the interview process.

Gannon would be a big get. Had multiple coordinator offers.
