Jonathan Gannon was featured in a new piece for The Athletic where he reveals some interesting things about the Super Bowl and his time in Philadelphia.
Joe Giglio and Eliot Shorr-Parks discussed the article on Wednesday's 94WIP Midday Show.
Regarding the two Super Bowl touchdowns were Chiefs wide receivers found themselves wide open, Gannon took responsibility for one [the one to Skyy Moore], but said on the Kadarius Toney touchdown the play "should be dead" and "we should've been fine."
"He seems to not want to take full accountability for the Super Bowl," Giglio said on Wednesday. "He did say they defended the play during the season...He's probably telling the truth, but should he have said it?"
Shorr-Parks has been a defender of Gannon and believes this was finally his breaking point.
"Here's somebody that did a great job last year and has been ripped on for like a year straight and he finally broke," ESP said. "That's what the article reads like to me. He got ripped in Philadelphia even though he did a great job last year."
Another big quote from the story was Gannon telling Nick Sirianni to let Shane Steichen call plays and part of their personal conversation was shared.
"So give the play-calling to Shane," Gannon suggested, referring to offensive coordinator Shane Steichen.
"Well, they're gonna look at me like I'm a failure," Gannon remembers Sirianni saying.
"Who gives a f—?" Gannon replied. "We're gonna get fired if we're 3-14."
"To me, this is indefensible," Shorr-Parks said. "If you're Gannon you cannot share this story. The head coach, by the way, that helped you get a coaching job. He defended him on the radio airwaves. To me, this was wrong by Gannon to share this story....That being said, now that the moment is shared, it is obviously extremely interesting."
