I’ve never brought this up on the board before, and I’m tempted not to post it at all because I really don’t like random guys on internet message boards who claim that they “know a guy” when claiming to have inside information. That being said, I know a guy.
My cousin lives in Atlanta and has a low level administrative job with the Falcons. The Falcons were interested in Fangio for their DC position but ended up hiring the Ryan Nielson from the Saints earlier today.
Take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but he told me tonight that todays talk around the office was that Fangio and Miami have already struck a deal and that it will not be announced until next week, after Sunday’s Eagles-Niners game. The Falcons talked with Fangio but decided to move on Nielson when they got word of Fangio to Miami.
For what it’s worth, he said the employee that gave him the information is a guy who would usually know this type of thing and has been right about a few other things in the past. I’m not gonna run to Vegas and bet the mortgage but I’m hoping like hell the info is true. Fangio in Miami is a game changer on a few different levels. Fingers crossed!!
