Before he became the architect of the league’s second-best defense, in terms of yards allowed, Eagles coordinator Jonathan Gannon was Matt Eberflus’ defensive backs coach from 2018-2020 with the Colts.
“He’s one of my greatest mentors,” Gannon told reporters this week. “I tell people all the time, working for ‘Flus’ for three years, he has elite leadership qualities, and I took a lot of those with me. I really did. He’s helped me tremendously as a person and a football coach, being detailed out all the time. How to hold players accountable all the time.
