BREAKING NEWS: The Philadelphia Eagles have appointed Vic Fangio as their defensive coordinator.

Vic Fangio has been appointed defensive coordinator by the Philadelphia Eagles, the organization announced on Saturday.

Fangio played the same position for Miami during the previous campaign. He worked as an Eagles consultant till the end of 2022.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni stated, “Vic’s reputation clearly speaks for itself.” “He has coached at a very high level in this league for many years and has a superb defensive mind. I’ve had the opportunity to observe personally Vic’s exceptional game knowledge, passion, and work ethic, which are what make him an outstanding coach. I can’t wait for our players and coaches to observe it firsthand and learn from him.

After just one season, the Eagles fired defensive coordinator Sean Desai last week. Playcalling duties were taken over by senior assistant Matt Patricia in December from Desai. He’s also not coming back.

After Philadelphia lost the Super Bowl the previous year, Jonathan Gannon left to become the head coach of Arizona, and Desai took his position.

The 65-year-old Fangio has worked for Carolina, Indianapolis, Houston, San Francisco, Chicago, and Miami as a defensive coordinator. From 2019 to 21, Fangio led Denver as head coach.
