Per Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Dolphins and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio have agreed to part ways. This leaves a huge void for the Dolphins at the defensive coordinator position. And Mike McDaniel will now be on his 3rd defensive coordinator in three years. There had been rumblings that Vic wants to coach with Jim Harbaugh when Harbaugh lands his new job, which appears to be in LA with the Chargers. Also, Vic was a consultant last season in Philadelphia, and the Eagles defensive coordinator position is now open as well.

Not to mention, there had been rumblings that McDaniel and Vic were not on the same page behind the scenes this season. Whatever the reason why Vic wanted to leave, it is bad optics for the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel.

Vic is one of the, if not the, most respected defensive coordinators in the NFL and was being paid more than 5 or 6 current NFL head coaches, and for him to want to walk away from that, it isn’t a good look for the Dolphins organization.
