Vic Fangio's departure from Miami and Jim Harbaugh's arrival in Los Angeles on the same day was ultimately a coincidence. Because the defensive specialist and the head coach are not going to come together and revive their San Francisco association.
Apparently, if he left the Dolphins by mutual agreement, it is because Vic Fangio must already have an idea in his head. Because ESPN announces that he will become the defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles.
This Thursday, Fangio would be on his way to sign his contract.
The Eagles, a new challenge for Vic Fangio
Vic Fangio is 65 years old and has a flattering reputation in terms of defensive coaching. Miami finished the season 10th in the league in yards allowed. But the Dolphins were only 22nd in points conceded. They still managed 56 sacks, the third highest total in the league.
Whatever happens, the good defenses led by Fangio in Denver, Chicago or San Francisco speak for him.
Vic Fangio arrives in Philadelphia to take over a feared defense in 2022, which ended up sinking in recent months, with Sean Desai, then Matt Patricia at the helm.
The Eagles finished the year 30th in points conceded, and only 27th in yards allowed. A priori, Fangio can only do better.
