Vic Fangio's First Press Conference with the Philadelphia Eagles

Enjoyable presser. Old school, no bs, straight talking coach. He's going to give Nick and Howie plenty of agita

If he was our DC in 2022 we would have won the Super Bowl.

Love this hire we needed an old school coach miss jimmy johnson god bless him,

The baseball analogy was perfect.. losing 2 games in a row is like losing 20 straight games in baseball.. we can't afford for a player to have a slump. Jim Johnson is smiling somewhere🦅🦅🦅

VIC IS ONE OF US

I like Fangio. Direct and to the point.

I like Vic so far. Great presser. Looking forward to hearing him speak during the season. I hope Kellen's as interesting and they just let Nick coach.

Head coach talking in the building 🏫...Vic fangio...The DUDE .."John Wayne STYLE"...

Im liking his brain let go vic ‼️🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥

Howie got him a Hell of a Secondary.

I love the way this Man think you have to be versatile now in days and be able to do different things within the scheme

Excellent start. The point he made about coaches not pushing players to be great is right on the nose. There were certain players on last year’s defense that were not giving their best effort on every play. Especially in the secondary, there were guys last year that took plays off, and guys that toward the end of the year started just giving up when a play didn’t go their way. At the first sign of trouble, our defense completely collapsed. And that’s not just a personnel issue. That’s coaching. If you let your whole defense just throw up their arms and quit on themselves because they gave up a TD, you are screwed in these league. All I saw from that defense last year was frustration and petty bickering about whose fault it was after the fact. Someone needed to push those men to rise to the occasion. And nobody did an effective job. Not Nick, not Desai, not Matt Patricia, not anybody. The defense quit, and the coaches let them. There were games last year where several players should have been outright benched for weak effort. There were no consequences, those guys who were failing their team game in and game out never lost a single snap. We had talent on defense last year. We didn’t have heart. We didn’t have coaching. We didn’t have a winning mentality.

He makes a great point about going back to basics. It seemed like a lot of the time last year we were just doing too much. Vic can't magically scheme us out of trouble all the time, and I'm glad that he got that out of the way early. He relies on his players' versatility, and a lot will be thrown at them. However, it seems like he won't compound mistakes. That's what happened last year, and it had disastrous results.

I'm cautiously optimistic this year.

Ladies and gentlemen… we got ourselves a Damn Man @ Defensive Coordinator

Interesting illumination on his role with the Eagles as a consultant. Definitely explains why our offense was versatile and dynamic. We could LITERALLY do anything. It was prolific.

Wow he actually answered most of the questions!

It's so nice to have coaches back in the nest that have experience knowledge etc... I think were gonna be ok ....🙌

He reminds me of Buddy Ryan

I like him too bc hes funny amd he talks like a philly guy. I think we going to live this hire and coach !! Go eagles!
