Dolphins should have played hardball with Fangio-Eagles..... Thoughts?

I'll sum this up very easily. First, there is no such this as tampering with coordinators. A rule was set in place a few years ago saying after the season, teams are free to interview whomever they want in this aspect.

Next, a coordinator cannot make a lateral change in teams unless both teams agree. NFL contracts restrict that from happening due to poaching and the fact $$$ could move coaches with no restrictions. A coordinator IS allowed to break a contract with an upwards shift in teams, meaning the only position Fangio could voluntarily leave the Dolphins for would be an Assistant HC / DC for another team or HC. That's it.

The other way is for the Dolphins to fire him. Tear up his contract and kick him out of the building. No matter how they phrase that "mutual" or whatever, he was fired.

Playing hardball? Most likely PHI would have or is offering him an Assistant HC position for when Sirrianni fails this year and there is f*ck all Miami could do about that.

So he was the highest paid DC, and we have to find another one. We had ZERO leverage here.

He was under contract, so there was leverage. Just a question of prolonging the inevitable and how playing hardball might hurt the process of finding his replacement.

Eagles got compensated from the Cardinals for “tampering” with Gannon and that was a promotion.
 
Doubt there was tampering. Fangio says he wanted to move back to Philly. Simple.

What do we do say no and let him screw us like he did in Baltimore or against the Titans all next season?

It was during the season when they were still playing. Completely against the rules and yeah they should have. Eagles and Dolphins seasons are over.

Fangio had a 2 year contract and the eagles helped facilitate the breaking of a contract.

The NFL would be going nuts if the Dolphins did this to the Sheagles
