From Adam Schefter at ESPN:

Vic Fangio has been helping the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for Super Bowl LVII before he begins his new job as the defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins.

Fangio signed a two-week contract with the Eagles after Philadelphia beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, league sources told ESPN.

Rather than pack up for his move to Miami, Fangio spent the past two weeks in Arizona at the Philadelphia team hotel, helping the Eagles coaches and players get ready for the Chiefs. More specifically, he assisted the offensive staff in their self-scouting process and supplied knowledge of the Chiefs’ defense that he faced twice a year while he was the head coach of the Broncos from 2019 to 2021.

This isn’t HUGELY surprising, since Fangio was hanging around training camp and has been spiritually connected to the Birds in this sort of unofficial consultant role going all the way back to the summer. But for him to sign an actual contract with the team and continue to aid the Birds after agreeing to become Miami DC is interesting indeed. Fangio, you’ll recall, was Denver’s head coach for a few years, so he knows Andy Reid and the Chiefs better than anyone.

Kind of a funky story. It’s NEWS but it’s not REALLY news, if that makes any sense. Jonathan Gannon adopted a lot of Vic Fangio principles, i.e. the two-high safety and matchup zone stuff, so it was one of those things where having him around and getting some advice where necessary seemed obvious.
