He's now written the script for all nfl teams on how to beat the chiefs.

Have a never ending supply of big mean DL?

jasonpaul.bsky.social•21 days ago

That works.

mchemar.bsky.social•21 days ago

Congratulations coach!🦅

If Philadelphia had him as coordinator instead of Gannon in 2023, I fully believe this would be the Eagles' second Super Bowl win in the past 2 years.

christopherf76.bsky.social•21 days ago

The field still sucked in Arizona for that game, it would have affected players in last night’s game

olympiccards.bsky.social•21 days ago

That's a great point. I definitely hadn't given that thought.

navaronegun.bsky.social•21 days ago

Fun fact: the Miami Dolphins have a slide, like an elementary school playground, that players can use instead of stairs or an elevator in the practice facility!

letmehearit.bsky.social•21 days ago

If that's true, that's actually pretty cool!

navaronegun.bsky.social•21 days ago

It’s cool if you’re working for a start up in the bay area. With this team, it’s just the 50th indication of how soft they are and how their culture is compromised and there is no accountability.

letmehearit.bsky.social•21 days ago

I totally get that.

scott53.bsky.social•21 days ago

The Clemson Tigers who went 15-0 & 14-1 with two championships have a slide in their facilities.

It's where Ross got the idea and as you can imagine grown men aren't hanging out on a slide all day long.

The Dolphins decades long mediocrity has nothing to do with a slide 🤦‍♂️

"it’s just the 50th indication of how soft they are and how their culture is compromised and there is no accountability."

clmsmooth.bsky.social•21 days ago

I do not think this is accurate…

eaboutnpodcast.bsky.social•21 days ago

It’s absolutely accurate, some Miami players, including Javon Holland are on record.

superichie.bsky.social•20 days ago

It’s not accurate. He didn’t want to be there. It wasn’t like the players all voted him out of the job.

I was a big fan when he was with Chicago. It was a huge mistake letting him go. Happy for Vic.

javiatordenver.bsky.social•21 days ago

He was a terrible HC for my Broncos though.

The Godfather. He was great for the Bears, only left to take Denver HC job

bac0nnn.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yea Miami's entire team is a bunch of soft babies. It's tough being a fan of theirs.

whileyhughes.bsky.social•21 days ago

A coach is only as good as his players.

basedhits.bsky.social•21 days ago

The majority of that defense was ranked #30 the year before.

johnnybananas.bsky.social•22 days ago

The Dolphins organization as a whole is a joke. Starts and ends with Stephen Ross as one of the most horrendous owners in all of sports. Since he has been the owner Miami has been rudderless. How is it that Greer continues to be subpar but keep his job. Stephen … Ross.

deadlinedemocracy.bsky.social•21 days ago

He is a jewel.

angelogiganti.bsky.social•21 days ago

Took a long time for Vic to make it back home to South Philly! He’s a Don! Philly’s defensive BOSS! I hope he retires at age 80 and stays with us till then! Exaggerating there but still. I hope he gives us a good long stretch before he retires. This young defense needs a grandfather’s wisdom.

teleskier12.bsky.social•21 days ago

He still sucked in Denver. Congrats Vic!

jasonpaul.bsky.social•22 days ago

How dumb do you have to be to let that man out of the building?

carsoncity.bsky.social•22 days ago

Don’t remind me

pepperedham.bsky.social•21 days ago

He didn't want to be there to begin with. As soon as the Eagles job became available he took it to be closer to home.

aljiggy21.bsky.social•21 days ago

I was coming here to say this. Ppl will just keep running with the narrative that the Dolphins organization just pushed him out though.

angelogiganti.bsky.social•21 days ago

He started with Buddy Ryan. Right? Or something like that? Its a full circle moment. Love that he’s here with us. He’s been around two of the best defenses in history. Both Eagles teams. Lol

fourstarr.bsky.social•21 days ago

You get what you pay for in life.

aquariusinaz.bsky.social•21 days ago

He did an outstanding job! Kudos to him!

superichie.bsky.social•20 days ago

It was a mutual parting of ways, but ok.

thekeeper.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well, this sounds good if you have no football knowledge.

However, players have a little more to do with success than coaches. He had the personnel for his defensive schemes in Philly. He never did in Miami.

It just wasn’t a good fit for him or the Dolphins.

crasianamerican.bsky.social•21 days ago

The real MVP.

timtay.bsky.social•21 days ago

Chiefs were so overrated

wolverine08.bsky.social•21 days ago

It was a defensive clinic
