Vic Fangio does his job better than just about everyone else in the NFL.
When John Elway said that the Denver Broncos were looking for a head coach with experience and expertise on one side of the football, there could have been perhaps no better candidate than Fangio, whose major criticism as a head coach candidate at this point is age.
At 60 years old, it’s incredible a coach with Fangio’s productivity has never been a head coach at any level.
He first broke into the NFL as a linebackers coach with the New Orleans Saints in the 80s where he coached up the “Dome Patrol”, a quartet of linebackers — Rickey Jackson, Vaughan Johnson, Pat Swilling, and the late Sam Mills — who combined for 20 Pro Bowl selections and 11 All-Pro selections.
