Vic Fangio dismisses retirement rumors: “I’m good for 2 years, at least”

The Eagles coordinators spoke to reporters on Thursday, including DC Vic Fangio. He talked about some of the team’s newest additions, like Jonathan Greenard and Riq Woolen, and explained why not retiring was an easy decision. Fangio fielded one question about the 2025 season, and he acknowledged outside comments suggesting if the offense played better, they would’ve had a better season, but the DC was clear that the defense could have played better, too.

And, while Jeff Stoutland stepped away from the organization earlier in the offseason, the former OL coach and Fangio still live near each other and play golf together. Here’s what else the DC had to say: On retirement decision Fangio was quick to claim that he wasn’t really close at all the retiring after the 2025 season, and while he took some time to think about it — as he had after the 2023 and 2024 season — it was an easy decision. He quipped that at the coach’s annual physical, the tests showed he was “reverse aging,” so he let everyone know they were stuck with him for awhile longer.

The DC explained that he still likes doing the job, and he likes the group of guys he gets to work with, and appreciates the challenge of the job and working for a good organization. “In the end, I didn’t come close to doing it. I really don’t foresee myself doing it — I’m good for two years, at least.

” On individual players Jonathan Greenard “[Greenard]‘s been a good pass rusher. He’s been productive in the rush. He’s had years where he’s had good numbers sack-wise, but like we always discuss, pressure on the quarterback is also important and he’s been able to do that throughout his career.
