NEW ORLEANS — The oldest NFL defensive coordinator slips into a gray chair, tucked in the back row of a hotel conference room. Super Bowl kickoff is four days away, and there are wrinkles to iron out. He chomps on his gum with impatience, the watch on his left wrist screaming to be checked.
He doesn’t want to leave. But he doesn’t want to be here.
It isn’t that Vic Fangio minds talking football — he could provide a PhD lecture on the 3-4, the 4-3 and ILBs. He just has better things to do. Like watching film.
