"It's been an offseason of great change within the division. Coordinators have been canned with the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. The New York Giants took even more drastic measures, making a bold statement by hiring John Harbaugh as the man to replace fired head coach Brian Daboll. The Commanders kept faith with Quinn, but Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. were sacrificed. That seemed to be the end of this division's upheaval, until a bombshell rumor surfaced that would immediately plunge the Eagles into full-blown crisis mode."
"According to multiple sources, the Philadelphia Eagles got a big scare recently when legendary defensive coordinator Vic Fangio informed the team that he was retiring from coaching in the NFL. However, sources said that Fangio was convinced by the team's brass to stay for at least one more season in 2026. For now, Fangio is back, though it should be noted that PhillyVoice reached out to an Eagles spokesperson to confirm that Fangio is still the team's defensive coordinator, and they declined to answer until further notice. As such, wiggle room exists for Fangio to change his mind again."
"Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice stunned the football world by revealing that Eagles' defensive coordinator Vic Fangio contemplated retirement this offseason. The threat was real, and Philadelphia almost considered Jonathan Gannon or Jim Schwartz as a possible replacement for the legendary figure. Although the report also stated that Fangio has agreed to stay on for another year, Kempski got the cold shoulder from Philadelphia when seeking official confirmation. That led him to believe a possible retirement before the 2026 campaign was still on the table."
Vic Fangio, the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, contemplated retirement this offseason and prompted the team to look at potential successors such as Jonathan Gannon and Jim Schwartz. Fangio reportedly agreed to remain for at least the 2026 season, yet team officials declined to confirm his status publicly, leaving the possibility he could change his mind. The NFC East experienced widespread coaching turnover, including coordinator firings in Dallas and Philadelphia and the New York Giants hiring John Harbaugh following Brian Daboll's dismissal. The Washington Commanders kept Dan Quinn while making staffing changes as the division heads toward the upcoming season.
