Everybody supposedly
knew that Vic fangio
was going to be the defensive coordinator of the Dolphins.
That's what NFL Network told us. And if NFL Network tells
us, it must be true. It's only official if it comes from NFL
Network, nobody else counts. Nobody else matters. Only NFL
Network. Well, guess what?
Vic fangio may not be going to the Dolphins and this has been
a strange Dynamic that's played out over the past day. Or two,
there are occasions where
Conflicting, reports emerge,
one reporter says something's going to happen. Another
reporter says it's not going to happen. You get your popcorn
and you wait and see who's right? Who's wrong
in this case. You've got multiple reporters, saying Vic
fangio is going to become the next offense. Coordinator,
the Miami Dolphins at the deal is done.
You've got Vic, fangio himself telling multiple reporters. Let
me say that again, for those, in the back. Yes, and anyone
out there who doesn't understand the difference, Vic
fangio himself.
Is saying the deal is not done. Now, I understand there was
a dolphins head coach who once said I'm not going to be
the Alabama coach,
and if Vic fangio
secretly does have a done deal with the dolphins and it comes
to life, then we call him a big fat liar, but this is far
different from reporter a versus reporter. Be both with
our unnamed sources
doing battle in a steel cage, death match. This is multiple
reporters with unnamed sources saying it's done
and the guy himself say, Saying,
it's not, right, and it's not even a matter of I haven't
written my name on the contract. He told Mike silver
of the San Francisco, Chronicle and Bali Sports
I haven't made a decision yet. It hasn't been decided,
nothing's been decided, and what silver pointed out.
There's a lot of respect between Kyle Shanahan. The
49ers coach and fangio
and Shanahan is going to need a new defensive coordinator. Oh,
and fangio's had that job in the past and he's done pretty
well in it and look.
I haven't tweeted this, I haven't written about it yet because
all the dolphins fans out there
all the to, and on crowd think that
anything that I mention is aimed at making the dolphins,
look, bad folks, its facts, facts are facts, facts are
stubborn things. Hey, they are what they are
fangio has said himself.
It's not a done deal.
Silver flow to the 49ers possibility.
There are other people in the league
who are talking about fangio
possibly ending up as the 49ers defensive coordinator. So this
one has gotten very interesting, very quickly
miles,
yeah, it really has and that's what that's the real
interesting thing right. Wasn't just a silvery told it to my
class at KU sa out of Denver somebody that close obviously
knows from covering him on a day-to-day basis. When you buy
have those two
guys saying that Vic fangio
Go on the record. Told them that the deal is not done. That
basically means that the deal isn't done, right? And then
you've got all these reporters from Miami who are saying no,
it's pretty much done.
You know, it's he hasn't signed the contract yet but this is
something that they expect to happen, and it's a sentence
that now, the other thing that plays into this is kind of
the dynamic between Mike McDaniel, and Kyle Shanahan in those two.
Dudes are
as close as anybody in the league, right? Because of
the time that they've been together in Cleveland and Hughes. In and
San Francisco when Atlanta and their relationship, obviously
in Washington and their relationship goes back really
long time too. So
it's kind of the
push and pull Dynamic here
of where are we going to actually see Vic fangio and I mean
whichever team gets him,
they obviously are going to get one of the best defensive Minds
in the league so I can understand why there would be
some sort of bidding war if you will
over Vic fangio and getting him in there too. To run your
defense because that's a significant upgrade, you know,
no matter who you've got probably. And I mean that with
all due respect to D'Amico Ryan's using going to go and be
on a head coach, right? I
mean, this is somebody with decades and Decades of coaching
experience.
Yeah, and I'm surprised more teams weren't trying to get Vic
fangio. I thought the Vikings would get in it because they
got Ed donnatal because of his
connection to Vic fangio. Well when you get Vic fangio light,
you get what you pay for, maybe we just go all-in and Minnesota
and get Vic fangio but his name didn't come up, there it did
come up in a big way with the dolphins and now the 49ers are
in play and we just wait and see what happens. But don't be
shocked if he ends up as defensive coordinator of
the 49ers,
instead of the Dolphins despite NFL
Work telling us that the Dolphins are done deal if
you're like, well, how does that happen? Well, you know, it
could be the agent, got over
his skis, a little bit on this one
and started talking to people
before the client had made his final decision. There is
a chance. Fangio's fibbing. Wouldn't be the first time. A
football coach has lied. He may have a reason for it,
regardless, regardless, this isn't the usual
to reporters based on per sources.
This is one group of reporters with unnamed sources and two.
Other reporters
with the Man himself saying it's not done, so we'll see how
it plays out.
