because yesterday, one of the things miles and I talked about,
you know, there was the report over the weekend from multiple
different media, Outlets that Vic fangio was becoming
the next defensive coordinator the Dolphins. Yeah, and the two
days, three days. Since then, there's been no announcement.
I've had people say, well, he's he's currently Consulting with
the Eagles and he can't take that job. Well, you know
what he can? He can take a job whenever he wants wherever he
wants. However, he wants, he's not limited by anything. I made
a hundred percent sure that yesterday in the aftermath
'The of the reporting
Vic fangio himself. Told multiple reporters. Nothing's
been decided now he's done yet. Word of the 49ers. Yes. And
potentially replacing D'Amico Ryan's emerged right now.
Remember the report from Chef D? It was one of the Sunday.
Splash reports later this season. Sean, Payton and Vic
fangio,
teaming up. Now to be a little awkward for me and you to go
back to Denver and raise the head coach there but got their
cunning got the Cunningham. Went back to be the defensive
coordinator. The Chiefs after a true hired as head coach of
the Chiefs
and At least one other example of it that I'm forgetting where
a coach has gone back as an assistant after being fired as
the head coach.
Look, these are all interchangeable. It's the best
situation for me. Where am I likely to be successful? Where
am I likely to enjoy my job? The most and oh folks
the Broncos have a pretty damn good defense. Right. That's right.
That's that's the point
you know Vic fangio. Yeah he might have been flirting with
Miami but then when he know San Francisco and he went, whoa,
wait, Denver and that defense to hold on a second. I'm not
doing
Anything and committing to Miami yet? Can coach those two teams
that be interesting. It would be,
and I would think that would slow his roll down. As far as,
you know, making a commitment to a team right here. Miami, we
know has some great young pieces for sure but those other
two teams like
they're they're already set.
You know. You're going to have a great defense. It's just how
great is it going to be
the Broncos? Dynamic is interesting. Certainly and
I will say the Broncos fit
their personnel. I
It's more of his scheme. Mike,
you know again Vic fangio is a little more 34 rooted, right?
As we've discussed in the past where the 49ers
and they've been Seattle scheme, rooted it's 43 and it's
a little bit more. Hey just getting your Gap and let's be
fast and explosive so I'll be interested but that is a
big thing to happen here. Soon Vic fangio,
you know, it is one of the great defense of mines in
football, the last 20 years and who he pairs up with. It's
definitely going to have an effect on the rest of the NFL.
And it's just amazing to me. How many people think that the
situation is like the typical to reporters with different
sources
unnamed you got Vic fangio saying nothing is done. Yeah.
And clearly nothing is done yet. It would have been done by
now if that report comes out on Sunday and he really is taking
the job with the dolphins. It's Wednesday, it would be done by.
Now,
if it was truly done on Sunday, he can still pick the Dolphins
but I think we're all at the point where we recognize, it
wasn't done on Sunday and may never be done. Here's On Chris
that I thought of when you mentioned him earlier and we
talked about Drew Brees
would you bring Drew Brees to Denver if you were Sean Payton
and I don't know whether you make him quarterbacks coach,
I'm going to what you do but would you want him to help you?
Get Russell Wilson
right? Yes, and teach Russell Wilson
the way. Sean. Payton does thing? Yes, I think it goes
back to the salesman thing. I'd want Drew, they're not every
day,
but hey, Drew can you come like two or three days, you know, at
the end of the first week of training camp, but then hey,
you know, would you mind coming back, you know, and two or
three weeks for two or three days
again? So Drew can also, you know,
help pump up the confidence of Russell Wilson,
but to just give thoughts that, hey, you know, even a great
coach like Sean Payton, he didn't pie quarterback and have
to deal with these things were Drew can add simplifying things
for Joy
for Russell Wilson, his own brain to, hey, when Sean used
to call this play, you know, he's kind of thinking this and
a kind of looked At it like this. Always. And he'll give
them little tidbits about the offense to make him feel
comfortable.
Let alone, I think it's just another thing to go.
Oh, hey, here Drew's, good guy. Oh it's cool
man. Drew was awesome in this offense.
Whoa, he still believes in it,
man. Oh okay. Alright, I just I think it's all positive there
and I think Drew of course believes in Sean Payton and
that offense as well to where it would be easy for him to
sell it to Russell Wilson.
And, you know, he's still got that competitive fire burning.
I'm sure he'd like to be involved in some capacity in
right in helping helping the cause being part of the team.
And, and I mean he was a short-term temporary member of
the
coaching staff earlier this year, who knows, maybe that
gave him enough of a flavor that he decides. It's something
that he would like to do
