We finally got our man!

I remember being out running errands with my wife Jan. 29 and getting a notification on my phone reading, “Vic Fangio has been hired as the new defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins.” I was incredibly excited at the news, busting out a celebration right in the middle of the store embarrassing the hell out of my wife, and then … it happened.

Even though the deal was reported to be done, Fangio himself said that he hadn’t yet made a commitment to any team. He was also linked to the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers at the time.

Fast forward a few days later, and a deal now appears to officially be done between Fangio and the Dolphins, with the always-reliable Adam Schefter (of ESPN) first reporting that Fangio has agreed with Miami to become their defensive coordinator.

Holy crap, there’s so many reasons why I love this move from my Miami Dolphins.

First off, I love the fact that my owner Stephen Ross is spending money like a mad man to bring in the most elite talent that he can get. He nearly did it the previous year with Sean Payton and Tom Brady, and now he’s doing it this year with Vic Fangio. And then you have the other power moves like the Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb landings. None of this would have been possible without Mr. Ross, so I want to thank him first and foremost.

The Fangio pick-up is so elite because he’s without a doubt the best defensive coordinator in the NFL. It doesn’t matter where he went (Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts), he’s had success everywhere. And on top of that, he’s currently a consultant with the Philadelphia Eagles, who are now in the Super Bowl, with an opportunity for a ring that he can bring down to South Beach to show and motivate our players.

Everything about this move is absolutely beautiful. Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Jevon Holland, Christian Wilkins, Zach Sieler — Wow, this defense is going to be so lethal with Fangio now in charge.

Oh, and it already has us as one of the favorites to win the AFC championship next season:

Oh yeah, big things coming soon for my Dolphins and my beloved city of Miami — shout out to the 305!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
