Congratulations former Dolphin’s DC Vic Fangio

Congratulations to Fangio, but like his spell in Denver, he would have been unlikely to have achieved the same success here. As good as he is, he never seemed like a fit here both in terms of his coaching style (he’s old school, with a work them hard mentality whereas our head coach is skinny tracksuit and appears to treat them more as friends than players eg looks like he’s trying to be Tua’s BFF at times) and the personnel he had to work with.
 
**** Fangio. I paid money and went to that stupid Titans game. Where his defense blew the game. Where my 12 year observed "Why isn't Ramsay on Hopkins?"

The Chiefs o-line was the biggest problem. They couldn't block anybody. It reminded me of the Chiefs-Bucs Super Bowl where the Bucs dominated the line of scrimmage. It doesn't matter who your QB is because if you have a bad o-line the offense will not be able to function.

Really wish you and a few others on this board would apply this logic to your own team.

Yeah especially during the last 4 mins of the Tennessee game that screwed the pooch.

Yean, specially when almost in the entire 4th quarter your beloved injury prone 5’11 qb wasnt able to gain a single first down and during that entire game his drives where mostly done by defense key stops, ffs and interceptions.

It worked because he has a defense loaded with talented players. Finishing 10th in total yards last season was more impressive than finishing 1st this season when one considers the difference in talent and injuries to key personnel.

True but the culture of toughness played a HUGE part in the success of the Eagles...quite the opposite of the Dolphins. Personnel wise, Grier is responsible for undervaluing both the OL and DL where Philly DOMINATED in the SB.

I can.

He took their money(highest paid assistant in the League) and acted like a A-Hole, forced his way out of town and got the job he wanted and a Super Bowl ring for his trouble.

F*ck that guy.

I dont think he "acted like a A-hole" I just think thats his personality. during the superbowl the broadcasters even mentioned about maybe seeing Vic smile for a rare change. This is on McDaniel, for creating a soft and weak culture. And how in the world during the interview process with Vic did the two sides not see this bad fit is beyond me. Vic is the winner and Mcdaniel is the loser, So I still can not blame Vic for getting out of this dysfunction and weak minded head coach.

Winner? Up until the having a stacked defense this past year, when did he win? As head coach?

Edit to add 19-30 record as HC in Denver. 👍

McDaniel. 27-20

It’s both but I’ve been saying for two solid years calling him out.

I have heard the same thing. He has been described by his teamates as a prima donna. I bet he goes to his next team and matures and being out of south beach will help. He probably will look more like the player he was year 1 and 2. But he is not working out here and we need to move on.

We talking about Tennesse game when the Dolphins had 4 backup OL playing for the most of the game? Did you not see how crap Mahomes looked and he had most of his OL in front of him.

The Dolphins lost a game from a position were the other 700 times it had occurred in the NFL that team won. It was a collapse of historic proportions and Fangio's defense let Will Levis drive the length of the field twice in the final 3 minutes. The DL was gassed (and I think Miami actually led the TOP) because Wilkins and Sieler were asked to play nearly 90% of the snaps as Fangio didn't trust anyone else. Even with this he still refused to blitzed and just let Levis pick the zones apart.

But yeah, lets blame it on the offense with 4 backup OL's in the game.

Absolutely, he enjoys the fame and attention to much and he’s not smart.

I’m sure he will take his parting shots to protect his fake ass

They were gassed because Grier does a **** job of building young depth with upside
