Fangio, a Dunmore native, addressed his departure from the Dolphins in January and hopes Philly will be his final coaching stop.

Meet the Eagles’ coordinators: Takeaways from Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore’s introductory news conferences

“My kids live two hours south of here,” Fangio added. “My mother, who’s 97, lives two hours north of here. So there’s a lot of family considerations. Former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon left the Eagles’ staff for his current role as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals a few days afterFangio, whom the Eagles hired three days after his Miami departure, also addressed the notion that he butted heads with Dolphins players during his season there.

“Our real focus here as we’ve gone through this process is, you know, we have a lot of good going on,” Moore said. “We can’t lose the good and the reps that Jalen and AJ have developed and Dallas has developed and this offensive line that we’ve developed. How can we build off of those things and really connect the whole thing?”

“It’s a combination of things that we can build off of,” Moore said. “If everyone understands a play and it makes sense, then let’s keep things in place. It’s not that complicated. “A lot of us have been exposed to this,” Moore said. “I think the biggest thing is just making sure the language is just connected. When I was in Dallas, every single year we went through this process, it was the same process. …

“You hear it in the NBA: load management. And I talk to coaches in other sports and it drives them crazy. The players are willing to work, I’ve never had an issue with that, and they’re still willing to work, but we, as the so-called adults in the room, need to push them.”Fangio’s philosophy clashes with the Eagles’ approach the last few seasons to some degree.

Neither coach solved what ailed the Eagles’ defense, which faced a litany of injuries in the secondary and at linebacker for most of the season.“They weren’t playing good, they had injuries, so there was a lot of moving parts,” Fangio said. “ … When things aren’t going good, you need to go back to basics. I’ll tell the players early in camp that if we’re struggling, don’t expect me to magically scheme our way out of it during a game.
