MIAMI -- Vic Fangio spent the past year on a self-described “sabbatical” following his departure from the Denver Broncos after the 2021 season, doing exactly what you’d expect someone without a full-time job to do.
He lived in the beach town of Destin, Florida, played some golf, traveled -- and churned out a few hours a day of film study; he was still a football coach at heart, after all.
The recently hired Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator said he wasn’t ready to retire, which led to his return to the NFL sideline.
