Vic Fangio quotes Dean Smith after winning his first Super Bowl after 38 seasons in coaching

Posted Feb 11, 2025
"I heard a quote that Dean Smith many years ago. If you remember, he went to a bunch of Final Fours before he finally won one, and they asked him the next day, ‘How does it feel you got a monkey [off your back]?’ He said, ‘I’m the same coach I was yesterday. We just got a championship,'" Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Sunday night. (Football Scoop)
