New Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is drawing comparisons to The Office’s Michael Scott after a very corny interaction with Rondale Moore.
Gannon, who was hired by the Cards last week after a stint as the defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, will hope for a strong start with the team following their 4-13 record in 2022.
