I Want A ****ing Italian To Be Next Dolphins Coach: Vic Fangio
Vic Fangio –
Tied to Head Coaching jobs in the past, Fangio has instead kept to his craft of coaching dominant defenses – and boy did he ever in 2018. Fangio will not be available until the Bears are eliminated from post-season contention (they play Sunday vs. Philadelphia), but his work transforming that side of the football was instrumental in Chicago’s first trip to the post-season since 2010.
Fangio does two things very well; build great defenses ,– and great scheming. Fangio directed the number one defense in the NFL in 2018, up from his 2017 work where he had the Bears in the top 10.
Those big jumps took some time as the Bears ranked 20th and 24th in total defense in Fangio’s first two years. The 2014 defense Fangio took over was 30th in the NFL.
The story was the same in San Francisco prior to his arrival. A good defense in 2010 (13thoverall), Fangio’s four years brought back two second-ranked defenses, a third-ranking and a fifth-ranked squad in 2014.
Fangio was at the forefront of the coaching vacancies around the league in 2017, but declined to move on because of what he was building in Chicago. He also felt that coaching defense in Chicago was a privilege and something he didn’t take lightly.
Fangio spent one year at the college ranks with Jim Harbaugh (who brought him to San Francisco for the 49ers job thereafter). Prior to that, Fangio was on John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens staff in 2008 and 2009 (a holdover from Brian Billick’s Ravens’ staff).
Fangio, age 60, has been coaching football since the 1970’s. He’s never been the Head Coach anywhere, but neither was Bruce Arians until his Coach of the Year 2012 season with the Indianapolis Colts.
“He’s an evil Italian genius mobster type Coach.” – Khalil Mack
“He’s a mob boss – the godfather all the way in coaching.” – Aaron Lynch
“Lord Fangio,” as he was referred to in San Francisco, has the admiration of his players and coaches alike.
Don Shula is Italian, Tony Sparano RIP Italian, and I vote for Vic "The Brick" Fangio
If this is a true re-build we need a MF like him a GODFATHER type coach who demands the best or your dead. Capisci!! Enough is Enough!!
