@BryanBroaddus mentioned Clayton could be pushing for Gannon. Below is proof of their relationship.
My brother @toofaroutmann the clip. Good theory by BB and the receipts align.
Former Arizona #Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is still in the midst of his defensive coordinator interview with the Dallas #Cowboys, at this time, I'm told.

Hearing some good reviews on the interview from Daronte Jones yesterday for #Cowboys DC. He impressed some people in the building. Efficient communicator (a big deal in this search), confident in what he preaches. He’s been the surprise of the search so far.
Team now directing attention to welcoming Jonathan Gannon in on Tuesday after a strong start to the in-person interviews.
As the Cowboys begin their in-person interviews for the defensive coordinator job, Vikings pass game coordinator Daronte Jones will be at The Star on Saturday, according to a source.
If the #Cowboys hire Jonathan Gannon as the defensive coordinator, just know I said what I said. This is who he was with the Cardinals. Please hush all that noise about him being any good.
2023 Season (Gannon’s 1st year)
The Cardinals defense finished near the bottom of the league across most major metrics. By DVOA and overall tracking, they ranked around 31st in the NFL.
2024 Season (Gannon’s 2nd year)
There was a slight improvement, but the defense still lived in the lower half of the league. Several metrics had Arizona around 26th overall.
2025 Season (Gannon’s 3rd year)
Right back to the bottom.
Arizona allowed 28.7 points per game, ranking 29th out of 32 teams in scoring defense.
