Should the Cardinals lose Sunday, Gannon will own the organization&#8217;s worst record in the past 55 years.<\/p>\n<p>Gannon said &#8220;a lot&#8221; is discussed during his conversations with owner Michael Bidwill.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I kind of do the same process as I&#8217;ve done the last two years: I try to take detailed notes, try to have a pulse of what&#8217;s going on, but you can&#8217;t let that &#8230; I do have to think about the future a little bit, obviously the seat that I&#8217;m in, but my focus is really on L.A. and that there&#8217;ll be a time to look at all of that and have those conversations and make changes,&#8221; Gannon said. &#8220;No one&#8217;s happy. I&#8217;m not happy. Players aren&#8217;t happy. Through adversity, you&#8217;ve got to change. So, I got to change, and we got to change some things, but we&#8217;ll get to that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gannon said he doesn&#8217;t regret making bigger, more wholesale changes throughout the season because, &#8220;I thought that was the best thing to do for the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh WeinfussDec 29, 2025, 05:31 PM ET Close Josh Weinfuss is a staff writer who covers the Arizona Cardinals and the NFL at ESPN.
