Philadelphia Eagles' Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio Nominated for Assistant Coach of the Year Award at NFL Honors
The Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, has been named a finalist for the prestigious Assistant Coach of the Year award at the upcoming NFL Honors ceremony. This recognition comes as a testament to his crucial role in stabilizing the team's defense throughout the 2025 season.
Fangio's leadership played a pivotal part in transforming the Eagles' defense from an inconsistent unit into one that consistently shut down opponents. The defense, which had struggled earlier in the season, suddenly found itself capable of making game-changing plays under Fangio's guidance. This was exemplified in consecutive matchups against the Packers and Lions, where the defense allowed both teams to score under 10 points.
The Eagles' defense continued to excel throughout the season, thanks largely to Fangio's strategic decisions. The emergence of young players such as Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean, Jalyx Hunt, Moro Ojomo, and Jordan Davis all credits Fangio's ability to bring out their full potential.
While Fangio's nomination is a well-deserved recognition, it may be a bittersweet victory given the team's overall disappointing season. The Eagles ultimately fell short of their goals, but Fangio's contributions were instrumental in keeping them afloat throughout the year.

. Vic Fangio's defensive masterclass is no surprise, considering he's been around for ages 
. What I find really interesting is how he managed to get the best out of those young players - it's like he has a gift for spotting talent 
. Still, gotta feel for the rest of the team, though... they didn't exactly have an amazing season 
. Guess that's just part of the package when you're chasing greatness 
.
, the whole defense didn't just click, it exploded 
! Those youngins he brought up are straight fire 
and if anyone deserved that nod it's him 
. The fact that Philly only made it to the playoffs shows what a difference he made, but still can't salvage a 9-8 season 
. The award should be given to whoever makes their team go from worst to first, not just whoever keeps them afloat

the way he turned that defense around is pure magic and idk what we'd b without him 
i mean i know we didn't win the whole thing but i think we made it to the playoffs cuz of him lol n i'm lowkey sad that we didn't get past 1st round bc i was so hyped for our chances 
but anyway congrats vic u r the best! 
️! The way he brought 'em together and made them click is just incredible. And let's be real, if not for Fangio, that defense would've been a total disaster 
!
I mean, Fangio's got skills for sure! He really helped turn that defense around and now he's getting some serious recognition 
. and let's be real, the rest of the team didn't exactly set the world on fire either 
They've been making huge impacts on their teams all season, and it's not just one person's genius like Fangio's. Plus, the Eagles' defense wasn't that dominant, they just played some solid games against weaker opponents 
he deserves that nomination 100%!! i mean can you imagine having him as your coach? 
the way he turned around that defense is straight fire 
eagles forever!!! 
Vic Fangio is totally deserving of this nomination! He's been an amazing leader for the Eagles' defense and I'm so proud of how he's helped those young players develop their skills 
!
the way he's able to get the best out of our young guys is insane, Quinyon Mitchell is like my personal favorite and Cooper DeJean is just on fire!! 
can't wait to see him win that award! 
in NYC! I mean, who else could take an inconsistent unit and make it nearly unstoppable? The stats are all there - under 10 points against the Packers and Lions? That's some crazy-good D!
