If all reports are true, then Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins landed a whale in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio this offseason. And if those same reports are accurate, shortly after Super Bowl LVII, Fangio is set to sign one of the most lucrative deals for an assistant coach in NFL history. But with big money comes big responsibility — like trying to fill out a coaching staff with worthy assistants.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero — the first person to report the Vic Fangio to Miami signing — the first of those assistants on the Dolphins’ radar appears to be Los Angeles Chargers assistant secondary coach Tom Donatell.
