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. 

His contract is up after this year. Rams want a shakeup after their superbowl hangover. Wade is the fall guy. I don't think they keep him. And why wouldn't he take a lateral move? He seems like he still wants to coach and I don't think at his age he would want another head coaching job.

DC yes

HC no

 

 

But even if he's in as a DC, need to fix this DL.  DT's have absolutely killed this defense this year.

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

Yep, but he excels more in 3-4. Either route we take, he is a proven DC who can coach both 3-4 and 4-3 and would be a MASSIVE upgrade to what we have now.

Absolutely an upgrade...

I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it but we really need innovation more than anything. Hire an offensive minded head coach paired with a solid and competent defensive coordinator who actually has a succesful history as a DC. Wade won't be the only option on that front.

People jist dont get it.

We can switch to a 4-3 and we still will look like trash.  

Scheme aint the problem.  DT's have been trash and the problem.  Your rolling with Love and Butler as starters your going to have problems.

When your 3-4 DEs are being blocked 1 on 1 by the worst blocking TE in football, your going to have a problem.

 

 

We could have been running the 4-3 the last 10 weeks, amd our D would still be ranked where it is.

Great DC but why would he move laterally?

No one is going to hire him as a head coach but it depends on the crop of head coaches hired this offseason.

I'm all for it.  Hes obviously good at it.  And plus, age would probably force him out before the players go stale on his message.

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.

It isn’t like the 49ers are scrubs.  They’ve been making clutch plays all season.

Phillips would be an amazing DC hire.  His reputation speaks for itself.
