Eagles to hire Vic Fangio as new defensive coordinator

It took a year, but the Eagles are getting their man, as Vic Fangio is traveling to Philadelphia to sign his contract to take over as the team’s defensive coordinator.

Fangio wanted to be closer to his family in Pennslyvania, and Philadelphia happened to have a vacancy after firing Sean Desai.

Fangio, one of the most sought-after defensive coordinator candidates last offseason, was Denver’s head coach from 2019-21, going 19-30.

Fangio spent the Super Bowl run with the Eagles but took the Dolphins coordinator job, expecting Jonathan Gannon to remain in Philadelphia.

Gannon bolted to Arizona to coach the Cardinals, and after missing out on Fangio, the Eagles landed on Sean Desai.
