The Miami Dolphins surprised many when they parted ways with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio earlier in the week, but the decision seems to have been welcomed by members of the team.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins announced they were mutually parting ways with Fangio, sparking various reactions on social media. One particularly notable response came from Dolphins safety Jevon Holland, who posted a video of himself kicking rocks.

High-profile agent Drew Rosenhaus also noted in an interview that several Dolphins players had disagreements with Fangio.

Fangio’s track record as one of the league’s top defensive coordinators in recent years is undeniable. However, there are questions about whether he needs to better adapt to players or if his approach risks alienating some while still potentially improving the defensive unit.
It’s anticipated that Fangio will join the Philadelphia Eagles, who seem unconcerned about potential issues arising or believe they can effectively manage them.
