Look, Jonathan Gannon is a first-year coach for the Arizona Cardinals. Maybe it’s going to take him some time to figure out how to get his players motivated.
Because the speech he gave that was captured by the Cardinals in their behind-the-scenes series was … not it.
It was all about what mode of transportation the players took to practice before he asked, “Did you have fire in your gut?”
Then, he dropped a, “Just understand, I’m looking for [expletive] killers.” But the tone in his voice? I’m sorry, I’m just not buying it. And fans on Twitter didn’t either, as you’ll see:
Cardinals’ HC Jonathan Gannon tries to set the tone for the season in the latest episode of #CardsFlightPlan, “Coach and the Coordinators”.

If this were Madden and you’re a Cardinals fan you’d auto-skip to the next season. https://t.co/INFwqJC0Ee

I feel the same way as Budda anytime I hear Gannon talk.

Not even Hans Zimmer could make this Jonathan Gannon motivational speech less cringe. 😬
