On Wednesday, the Miami Dolphins stole the show ahead of the AFC Championship game by parting ways with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Both sides agreed to go in different directions after the franchise allowed 23 points per game in 2023.

We run through a handful of options for the Dolphins to consider as the next defensive coordinator. Either way, this isn't the best way to begin the third year with McDaniel calling the shots.
