The Dolphins have agreed to hire Vic Fangio as the team’s defensive coordinator, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Fangio, widely regarded as one of the brightest defensive minds in football, will land a sizable deal from Miami that will make him the league’s highest-paid coordinator, per Pelissero. The contract will last three years, with a team option for a fourth season.
Fangio spent the 2022 season as a defensive consultant with the Eagles. Before his stint with Philadelphia, he spent three years as the Broncos’ head coach. He posted a 19–30 record while at the helm for Denver before he was dismissed following the 2021 campaign.
