Vic Fangio will soon be the defensive coordinator for the Dolphins. But only after the Super Bowl. Because until the end of the Big Game, he is under contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
It is NFL Media which reveals this astonishing arrangement this Sunday. Fangio reportedly quietly signed a two-week contract with Philadelphia to help the franchise prepare for the Super Bowl.
Another surprise: it is on the side of the attack that Fangio would have come to lend a hand. A necessarily rich additional point of view for offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, even if it is difficult to measure the impact of a two-week helping hand.
Fangio is said to have many friendships through the Eagles staff, which surely explains his presence. The first contacts for this collaboration would have taken place after the regular season.
On Monday, Fangio will begin his three-year contract with Miami.
