When the Miami Dolphins decided to part ways with Vic Fangio after the 203 NFL season, it was supposed to “fix” the team’s cultural issues.
The Dolphins players didn’t like Fangio’s old-school ways, made that known down the stretch, and when he was finally relieved of his duties – allowed to instead lead the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl – the hiring of Anthony Weaver was supposed to finally get things back on track.
And yet, even one of the team’s defensive leaders, Bradley Chubb, admitted to reporters at camp that a cultural change simply didn’t happen, as the Dolphins put a to – read: fin – into the water instead of going all-in on the change.
While the Dolphins still finished second in the AFC East in 2024, they took major steps back from 2023, with their total number of wins, point differential, and offensive rating all taking major steps backward. Still, their defense did improve under Weaver, so who knows? Maybe a renewed commitment to playing defense the right way could correspond with a return to the playoffs if the Dolphins’ offense can get back on track.
