| 0:34.9 | This is Take Command. |
| 0:36.6 | So the commander's DC search is ongoing. The big |
| 0:39.8 | name that we just heard, and it was the first of the fired head coaches to establish himself as a |
| 0:45.6 | candidate here with an interview. And it's coming up on Thursday this week is Jonathan Gannon, |

| 1:41.5 | So he was, in my opinion, elevating the talent on that roster a little bit. |
| 1:45.0 | And I think when you look at his time in Arizona, especially when he first got there, |
| 1:48.3 | that was one of the worst defensive personnel groups in the NFL. |
