The Miami Dolphins are making a major change to their coaching staff.

The team announced this afternoon that they have “mutually agreed to part ways” with veteran defensive coordinator Vic Fangio after one season.

“I want to thank Vic for his contributions in 2023,” Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said in a statement. “When we assessed the season, it became apparent that this was the best path forward for all parties involved. 

“Now, we turn our focus to 2024 and beyond with urgency as we identify the best candidate to lead our defense moving forward.”

Fangio, 65, came to Miami after spending the 2022 season as a consultant with the Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to that, he was the head coach of the Denver Broncos from 2019-21.

Overall, the Dolphins defense did improve from 2022, but injuries took their toll as the team finished 11-6 and lost in the first round of the NFL Playoffs.

Fangio will reportedly become a “top target” for the Philadelphia Eagles, who are searching for a new DC. In addition to his time in Miami, Fangio also has defensive coordinator stints with the Carolina Panthers (1995-98), Indianapolis Colts (1999-2001), Houston Texans (2002-05), San Francisco 49ers (2011-14) and Chicago Bears (2015-18).
