His impact was immediate and noteworthy. The Dolphins&#8217; defense under Fangio ranked 15th overall in 2023, showing marked improvement in rushing and passing plays. This achievement came despite the team grappling with numerous injuries to key players such as Jalen Ramsey, Jevon Holland, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/iccwins98.com\/sports\/dolphins-lose-bradley-chubb-to-torn-acl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bradley Chubb<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami Dolphins&#8217; head coach, Mike McDaniel, expressed his gratitude towards Fangio for his contributions in 2023.

Fangio&#8217;s decision was also driven by his comfort level and preference for the defensive coordinator role with the Eagles. This move comes after the Eagles experienced instability in their defensive coordinator position throughout the 2023 season, leading to changes in play-callers and the eventual firing of Sean Desai.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fangio&#8217;s Background and Connection to Philadelphia<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A native of Dunmore, Pennsylvania,<\/span><b> Fangio&#8217;s affinity for Philadelphia sports is well-known<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
