Nick Sirianni, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, discussed Fangio"s engagement and its effects from the previous season.
According to the Dolphins Wire, he shared, "We didn’t give him all the secrets,"
"I asked him for his help. He was giving us information, and not us giving him information. Obviously, when he was around last year during the end of the season, that was a unique opportunity to have a guy help us look at some different things the way a defensive coach’s perspective on it. Then [Former Eagles Defensive Coordinator] Jonathan [Gannon] being able to bounce some things off of him and me being able to bounce some things off him as the head coach."
"So, I really value the relationship that I was able to develop with Coach Fangio. Great person. Great football mind. We know we’re going to have our hands full with any Vic Fangio-coached defense, which we have obviously this week… I’m hoping he’s a little distracted. But a really good person. Really good coach. Value the friendship that we have and the time that we spent together last year."
