Cardinals Hire Nick Rallis As New Defensive Coordinator
2 years agoThe Arizona Cardinals hired Philadelphia Eagles linebackers coach Nick Rallis as their new defensive coordinator on Saturday. The 29-year-old worked with new Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon in Philadelphia for the last two seasons. Before joining the Eagles, he spent three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, first as a defensive quality control coach in 2018 and 2019 before adding the role of assistant linebackers coach in 2020. The Cardinals defense allowed the second-most points per game in the league in 2022 and were ranked 29th in red-zone defense and 31st in goal-to-go defense. Their defense was also ranked 21st in total yards allowed per game and 22nd in yards per play, so Rallis has plenty of work to do.
