The Arizona Cardinals have announced that Drew Petzing, formerly the quarterbacks coach of the Cleveland Browns, is their new offensive coordinator under new head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Petzing hopes to bring some of the offensive staff from the Browns to the Cardinals.
Israel Woolfork is expected to become the Cardinals’ quarterbacks coach and, according to CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson, is targeting Ashton Grant, who was the Browns’ offensive quality control coach last season, to join him in Arizona.
Grant has been coaching for three years. He joined the Browns in 2020 through their first-ever Bill Willis Coaching Fellowship, a program created to give an opportunity for a minority coach on the offensive side of the ball. It is similar to the Cardinals’ Bill Bidwill coaching Fellowship.
Grant was on the staff for two seasons under that fellowship and became offensive quality control coach in 2022.
He worked closely with the Browns’ run game coordinator and running backs coach Stump Mitchell and also pass game coordinator and receivers coach Chad O’Shea.
