    Grotz: In coming full circle, Vic Fangio offers Eagles old-school stability

    In front of an energetic yet youthful audience, Vic Fangio's introductory press conference with the Eagles last week didn't move the needle the way Jonathan Gannon used to, with the younger coordinator's hopped-up delivery that sounded like somebody went hard on the espresso. Fangio, who turns 66 in August, has 25 years of depth and perspective on Gannon and Sean Desai, last year's defensive coordinator who was demoted late in the season and then canned after it. Fangio has been there and done it, as a defensive coordinator and a head coach. Fangio proudly said he got his coaching start 40 years ago at Veterans Stadium with the Philadelphia Stars of the United States Football League.
