Rich Eisen on New Cardinals’ HC Jonathan Gannon’s Challenge to Get the Most Out of Kyler Murray

Jonathan Gannon is the new head coach of the Arizona Cardinals and he was asked the magic question. You're a defensive guy. This is all about Kyler Murray and the last guy was here is the quarterback, you know, Guru, an offensive Guru that was hooked right up to him. Who's going to be the offensive Guru du jour for Kyler Murray now that you're the defensive minded new head coach of the Arizona Cardinals? We're starting to look at some different candidates and looking at interviewing some people here in the next 48 hours. But I have a very specific vision of how I want to play on offense and the person that comes in here to run the offense is going to understand that everything that we do will be structured around the quarterback position to maximize his skill set. And we have an elite one. Okay.

I mean, makes sense. Well, good plan. I guess it's the universe is open to anybody but Cliff Kingsbury. I guess so. That's the answer. And then of course it's not forget everything that happened with Kyler Murray during his negotiations where the team felt it necessary to codify matters about studying and tablet time and what that might mean about his relationship with his teammates and how Jonathan Gannon handles that but maximizing Murray's talents. That's making sure like, hey man, you've got to figure whatever way he wants to play is exactly the way the Eagles just did it with Jalen Hurts.

Let's get three, four running backs into an offensive line that's crazy and let Kyler Murray throw the deep ball whenever he needs to, right? Tight end. Zach Hurt's already there. Maybe keep DeAndre Hopkins in town. We'll see, man. We'll see.
