Dolphins hire Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator

After the Miami Dolphins fired defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, the team began a search for someone who would take a defense with individual talent all across the roster and turn it into a defensive that dominated like an elite group. The fans focused their desires on former Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio, a coach highly in demand around the league and seen as one of the top defensive coaches in the league.

On Sunday, the Dolphins landed Fangio as their defensive coordinator. According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Dolphins and Fangio agreed to a three-year contract, with a team option for a fourth year.
