Dolphins hire Fangio as DC

[Gary Marangi]

I see his name and instantly in my head I hear "Do the fandango"

Brady and Rodgers are like milk that is past its use by date. Yeah, you can drink it, but any day it’s gonna go sour.

 

That's like McDermott

I wanted Fangio and now we have to crap the bed to be rid of Frazier. This is one of my knocks on Sean and Beane. They have a blind spot for coordinators that aren’t getting it done. How many years do we have to watch Frazier be out coached in the playoffs.? How long do we have to endure poor O-line play? The safety coach was fired but why was he hired?

 

McDermott is the problem. The defensive coordinator is an extension of him. 

[Golden*Wheels]

Yeah, good hire, obviously.

 

Gotta figure this division is gonna be a damn dogfight next year. If Jets get a QB and Pats get offense back on track with O'Brien...tough!

How can we move off him if he’s tied to the GM and ownership at the hip. His supporters will say he wins divisions and keeps the fan base engaged. With a new stadium on the horizon and the value of the franchise growing diametrically , do you think the Pegula’s are demanding SBs? I doubt it.

It's not over yet, Lee Harvey!!  Fangio could still give Miami the Fangoo....

I don't care who runs any defense in this division if we give Allen time to throw and another decent target.  He will carve up any defense.

I can only hypothesize that this FO and coaching staff look at the Miami game against Skylar Thompson and the drubbing at the hands of the Bengals as flukes if they are content with running it back with the same coaches outside of firing the friggin' Safeties coach.

 

Which does go counter to what Beane said in his presser, where he said the Bengals have passed us up.  OK, so what are you going to do about it then?  Does he think it's simply a matter of not having the right players?

That’s exactly what this regime believes it’s the players fault not there schemes or philosophies the players. 

[Fallser]

Can we trade DCs? Is that a thing? we'll throw in AJ Epenesa...

[nosejob]

I'm betting he ends up in San Fran when Ryans takes the Houston job. He's a bud of Shannahan and coached the D there under Harbaugh. Nothing to see here.

....and I love it.

Had our chance last year 13 sec will haunt us forever. teams had caught and passed coaching and player talent, pray for a wildcard next year

The overreaction thread is to the right, down the hall, all the way to end and on the left. 😆 

[John from Riverside]

To be clear, I have always liked Nick Fangio
 

One of the things that you have to consider when making a change to your coordinator is, do you have the horses to run their defense

 

This is especially true on defense we cannot afford to lose Josh Allen years while we retool our defense we need to keep getting good players in the draft that match what we’re doing

 

I would like to see a Defense that incorporates press man coverage against certain teams

[without a drought]

The Bills will be lucky to finish 4th in the division next year.

White smoke from a Dolphins' chimney yet?

I found that presser to be a bit confusing.

 

I agree that knee-jerk reactions rarely produce good outcomes, but our team keeps stalling in the playoffs.

 

It is either coaching or players. If it is not the coaching then is Beane saying he has not brought in the right players?

 

I have to allow that it is likely performance gaps with both players and coaches.

 

Perhaps it is just too early to unpack, but the time to evaluate coaches and consider upgrades would be now when there is a lot of FO turnover and guys are looking for their next gig.

 

I never thought hope was a good strategy, but feels like we are heading for a rinse and repeat where OBD hopes something falls better our way.

Yep, if all the same coaches are returning sans the Safeties Coach, then logic says they think it's all the players.  But as he also said, they've got problems with the cap, so getting the right players is going to have to come from the draft.  He's going to have to have one phenomenal draft is all I've got to say. Going to have to have more success than he's had on a lot of picks that haven't produced many impact players on this team outside of Allen (jury is still out on last year's draft class).

[nosejob]

I wanted them to go after Reddick last year right off the bat, but they seem to sit on their hands and ....I don't know. I'm not really critical of Beane's drafts, but we're sitting here married to the Rick Dennison of defense. Why???

[C.Biscuit97]

I could be in the minority but I think Mike Griers brother has done a great job rebuilding one of the least talented teams I’ve ever seen in 3 years. That is a pretty stacked roster wish very good coaches. Now, what do they do with Tua?

No way around it, this sucks.

Fangio is an excellent DC. Better than Frazier IMO.

Pretty sure you are a better DC than Frazier.   

[Big Turk]

Whoa...maybe not so fast...

 

Fangio saying "nothing has been decided on my end" and reports are that he is eyeing a job with the 49ers since he has a good relationship with Shanahan, his long time GF works there and there is a good chance of a job opening with Ryans supposedly the top candidate for the Texans job...

Uh oh ..I bet Fangio is heading to the 49ers now
