Vic Fangio Parts Ways With Dolphins, Expected To Join Eagles

10 months ago

The Miami Dolphins and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio have mutually agreed to part ways, according to sources. Fangio will now be the top target for the Philadelphia Eagles to hire as their new defensive coordinator, and a deal is expected. The Dolphins are allowing Fangio to leave to be closer to his family in Pennsylvania. Fangio and the Eagles had an interest in working together this past season, but the timing didn't work out. The 65-year-old joined Miami as the highest-paid defensive coordinator in 2023. The Dolphins defense struggled early but ranked seventh in the league in defensive expected points added from Week 8 to Week 18, which coincided with the return of All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Their downfall in 2023 was the fact that they allowed more than 400 yards to opposing offenses in four of their final six games, but injuries played a huge part down the stretch.
