The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports that Vic Fangio will return as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator in 2026. After briefly weighing retirement, the 67-year-old is set for a third season running Philadelphia’s defense. The Eagles ranked first in the NFL in fewest yards allowed in 2024 and slipped to 13th last year, but they’ve finished top-5 in fewest points allowed in both seasons under Fangio. While Nick Sirianni shuffled his staff this offseason, Fangio’s return preserves continuity on a defense that remains one of the team’s strengths.
