Eagles News: Vic Fangio doesn’t deny he would’ve been Jonathan Gannon’s replacement

Dolphins’ Vic Fangio says it’s ‘possible’ Cardinals’ tampering prevented him from becoming Eagles’ coordinator - CBS Sports
New Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio consulted with the Eagles during the 2022 season, and it turns out he might’ve landed a permanent job in Philadelphia if not for Jonathan Gannon’s polarizing departure. Weeks after ESPN indicated the Cardinals’ hiring of Gannon affected the Eagles’ succession plan, Fangio admitted Thursday it’s “possible” he would’ve otherwise been in Philly. “That’s possible,” he told reporters, “but I won’t — I’ll neither confirm nor deny it.” ESPN’s Adam Schefter previously speculated that Fangio had been the Eagles’ top target for a potential coordinator vacancy after the 2022 season.
