Overview
- Vic Fangio told the Eagles he intended to retire after the season before team leadership persuaded him to stay for at least 2026.
- The team declined to officially confirm his status when asked, leaving open the possibility he could reverse course.
- NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said the situation has lately leaned toward a return, though nothing is definitive.
- During the uncertainty, Philadelphia contacted former DC Jonathan Gannon and planned to check on Jim Schwartz; Gannon has since taken the Packers’ defensive coordinator job.
- Internal options narrowed after defensive pass-game coordinator Christian Parker departed for the Cowboys, even as Fangio’s defenses have produced top-tier results and fueled a Super Bowl run.
