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.
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.
