ESPN: Vic Fangio Signed 2-Week Eagles Contract Before Super Bowl; Will Join Dolphins

Former Denver Broncos coach and incoming Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has reportedly been serving as a defensive consultant to the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Fangio signed a two-week contract with the Eagles after their NFC Championship Game win over the San Francisco 49ers. Fangio was the Broncos' coach from 2019 to 2021 and has been lending his experience preparing for Kansas City.

According to Schefter, the Eagles pursued Fangio for an assistant coaching position before the season, but the coach decided to take the 2022 season off after being fired by Denver. He previously spent time at Eagles training camp last summer.

The 64-year-old has spent parts of five decades in the NFL a coach, starting with his time as the New Orleans Saints linebackers coach in 1986. He's served as the defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears.

The Dolphins hired Fangio late last month to replace Josh Boyer, the team's defensive coordinator the last three seasons. Miami coach Mike McDaniel retained Boyer as a holdover from Brian Flores' staff but chose to make his own hire as he settles into his second season with the Dolphins.

As far as Fangio's role with the Eagles, well, they might not want to follow his entire blueprint. Fangio went 0-6 against the Chiefs during his tenure as Broncos coach, with his teams being outscored by a combined 94 points.
