Sounds like #Cowboys OC Kellen Moore will likely be around this time, as well. #Patriots defensive assistant Jerod Mayo and #Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon will be Wednesday. Then a few more to schedule after that. https://t.co/nOnT3H8AUl

Jonathan Gannon’s first season as defensive coordinator with the Eagles had a few hiccups, but his defense was solid and his coaching acumen has landed him two interviews this cycle.
Ian Rapoport is reporting that Gannon is set to interview for the Broncos head coaching vacancy on Wednesday.
A rookie defensive coordinator, Gannon came over from the Colts with head coach Nick Sirianni, and he has familiarity with Denver’s former staff, as he’s worked with Tom McMahon at Louisville, Pat Shurmur with the Rams and Vikings, and GM, George Paton.
Gannon got his coaching start as a student assistant and graduate assistant at Louisville under Bobby Petrino from 2003-2006, and he joined the famed coach in Atlanta, the beginning of his NFL experience.
Gannon’s defense in Philadelphia started off rocky and they were shredded by some of the NFL’s top passers. On the season, the Eagles defense was 11th in passing yards (3756), 20th in passing touchdowns allowed, 31st in sacks (29), and 9th in rushing yards allowed.
