He wanted to go to Philly and was signed before we even played the SB.

If there is any "what ifs" it's maybe the season prior when we pretty much knew Demeco was a gonner and even then technically Fangio took the job with the Dolphins while we were still in the playoffs.
He hadn't officially taken the job the opportunity was there and they bypassed him for Wilks.

When Wilks was hired by SF in Feb 2023 it was believed that Fangio, as a current consultant for the Eagles, was lined up to replace Jonathan Gannon as Eagles DC if Gannon left for a HC gig. It was a surprise to the Eagles that Fangio left for the Miami DC job before Gannon signed on with Arizona.

Probably didn't want people more seasoned than him so he could call the shots freely. Philly Defense was so good all season.

Again, SF didn't pass on Fangio.

In 2023 after Ryans left Fangio was on the Eagles staff and expected to be promoted to DC after the SB. It was a surprise when he left for Miami.

In 2024 Fangio was hired as the Eagles DC before SF played in the SB.

You need to go through this thread. We could have easily had Fangio. Kyle didn't want to change scheme. He said as much after meeting with Fangio.
