Jonathan Gannon has begun to fill out his staff in Arizona, and he’s hiring Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Saturday. Rallis had previously worked under Gannon as the linebackers coach for the Eagles.
According to Pelissero, multiple teams tried to lure away Rallis in the hours after Arizona made its offer, but he elected to follow Gannon out west to work with the Cardinals defense.
The #Cardinals are hiring 29-year-old Nick Rallis as their defensive coordinator, per sources.
Rallis — who starred at LB for Edina High School and the University of Minnesota — was on staff in Philly with Jonathan Gannon. He now becomes the NFL’s youngest coordinator. pic.twitter.com/Hy7CqrPa4z
