Jonathan Gannon Ends Presser With Stark Michael Vick Reference as Cardinals' Struggles Mount

The remark followed a $100,000 sideline‑conduct fine during a 2-4 start with Kyler Murray uncertain.

Overview

  • Gannon ended his Wednesday availability by saying, “2007, when our quarterback went to jail,” when asked about learning to remove emotion from coaching.
  • He was referring to his 2007 season on the Falcons staff when Michael Vick was arrested and later imprisoned in the federal dogfighting case.
  • The exchange produced a brief silence before the session ended, drawing fresh attention to the coach’s handling of pressure.
  • The NFL recently fined Gannon $100,000 for making contact with RB Emari Demercado after a goal-line fumble in a loss to the Titans, and he apologized for the incident.
  • Arizona is 2-4 with four straight losses, Gannon’s record stands at 14-26, and Kyler Murray missed the last game with a foot sprain with his status still uncertain for this week.
