Eagles Hire Vic Fangio as New Defensive Coordinator

Fangio Tasked with Revamping Struggling Eagles Defense After Dismal 2023 Season

Vic Fangio has been hired as the new defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, replacing Sean Desai.
Fangio, who has 37 years of NFL coaching experience, previously served as the defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins in 2023.
Fangio's defense in Miami finished No. 22 in points against, No. 10 in total yards against, No. 30 in third-down percentage, and No. 28 in red-zone percentage.
The Eagles' defense struggled in the 2023 season, finishing No. 30 in points against, No. 26 in total yards against, No. 31 in third-down percentage, and No. 30 in red-zone percentage.
Fangio will be tasked with improving the Eagles' defense, which allowed the second-fewest yards per game and the eighth-fewest points per game in 2022, but those rankings dipped to 26th and 30th, respectively, in 2023.
