Fangio and Dolphins parting ways.

[WSE]

Fangio is a reputable coach who has generally done a good job wherever he's been employed. I wager he'll get immediate interest around the NFL and be employed in a matter of days. I'll confess that I don't follow team news and rumor mill as much as I used to, but I'm honestly a little bit stunned to have seen this news today.

"Mutually agreed to part ways" is usually polite code for "We fired him."

It's possible that the team finds a gem and upgrades the coaching staff as a result of this, but I still tend to think that the team's defensive issues are on the personnel side of things.

Seems Eagles is pretty much a done deal already.

He was getting DC interviews though right?

I don’t care, all teams interview everyone, doesn’t mean **** until he has a job and gets judged. Those meetings you saw on hard knocks were cringe worthy

Should have kept Boyer

 

[Waddle]

The writing was on the wall when McDaniel actually danced around the question in his presser, when he normally goes on a 5 minute sermon.

I’ll never forgive him for Tennessee, **** him

By who?

McDaniel for firing Fangio. Dude was coaching the walking wounded and scrubs. His 3 stud pass rushers out, stud corners out, most linebackers out. Yet he got McDaniel and his high powered offense the ball back with 2 minutes to go and a chance to beat or tie Buffalo at home. He held the Cheifs to 16 points in the playoff for most the game. The defense was improving, players were developing.

Dolphins gonna Dolphin

Fangio wanted to be closer to his family in PA. What was Miami gonna do, say “no?”

 

[Ryan1973]

I don't believe he ever wanted to be in Miami in the first place. His heart didn't seem into it. He came for the money.

Dude, actually read the Tweet.

 

[Fred Bear]

Meh

 

[EasyRider]

Why? He has a really good coaching staff now and has many connections with many different coaches from the Shanahan coaching tree.

Fangio was special. you saw it before people started going down. I don’t trust McD with hiring until I see it produce

However, he did a great job hiring Coach Barry. Gotta give him credit there

Its hard being a Dolphins fan

This is why Renaldo Hill was Hired last year.. Fangio was just a temporary Hire in my opinion.

They could have. Or demand a pick in a trade. Would likely have hurt reputation around the league though with coaches so probably not worth it for a guy who didn’t want to be there.

Baltimore was his Waterloo in my mind
