It was reported that Vic Fangio was headed to the Miami Dolphins. Of course, the coach denied that any deal had been finalized, with many speculating that he might be interested in the San Francisco 49ers' defensive coordinator job.
According to Josina Anderson, Fangio is expected to talk with the 49ers about their vacancy. Others are also pursuing the coach.
As for Vic Fangio, he's had offers from Atlanta, Carolina & Miami, and as stated in a prior tweet is expected to talk with the #49ers--especially given his ties there, per league source.
San Francisco will also interview Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks and has requested permission to speak with Washington Commanders defensive backs coach Chris Harris.
Fangio served as the 49ers' defensive coordinator for four seasons (2011-14) under then-head coach Jim Harbaugh. Fangio's defenses ranked in the top five in each season with the team (No. 4 in 2011, No. 3 in 2012, No. 5 in 2013, and No. 5 in 2014).
