Wade Philips?

Wade Phillips C, Los Angeles Rams

NFL Network's Michael Silver has heard from "multiple sources" that a "shakeup" is expected for Sean McVay's coaching staff this offseason.

The Rams underachieved greatly in 2019, following up last year's Super Bowl loss to New England by missing the playoffs altogether. As is usually the case when teams fall well short of expectations, the Rams are sure to face consequences for this year's failure with coaching and personnel changes both distinct possibilities. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips appears to be a goner while even workhorse back Todd Gurley is no lock to return in 2020. Seeming supplanted by the 49ers and Seahawks in the NFC West, L.A.'s title window is dangerously close to slamming shut.

 

Anybody want him as our DC next year? Get a offensive mind for our HC and get Wade to man our D and we could have a respectable year next year. I thought it was interesting to read that all but one of the defenses Wade Phillips has coached has improved in his first season on the job. Not to mention he kicked our ass in the superbowl. Would not mind at all if we brought him in.

He’s a DC not a HC. 

[ChuckWag78]

DC fine. HC no way!

[LinvilleGorge]

How good of a DC is Wade Phillips when his teams can't head hunt all game long?

[Biscuit]

Not sure I can ever forgive him for his game plan to have his players keep hitting Cam in the head until he forgets the names of his own children.  Can't condone that.

He has long been associated with 34 D's.  Maybe he could help us figure out what we want to run since our potpourri defense has not worked out so well

That’s if he’s fired by LA. I don’t see him taking a lateral move. If he’s the guy the new HC wants to bring in if he’s fired, that’s fine. But id rather not target him for DC just because. 

[Mr. Scot]

His contract is over at the end of the season so unless they extend him, he's a free agent.

He is 72 years old, however.

Exactly what I was thinking. If Tepper is keen on keeping this 3-4 defense, then bringing in Wade who excels in 3-4 would be perfect for us. Wouldn't have to change our defensive philosophy yet again and could keep focusing on the 3-4.

We're also talking about a defense that blew not one but two 3rd and 16s on a final drive when they were fighting for their playoff lives.

Depends on HC ...but Wade can coach 4-3...
