Wade Phillips released by the Rams

[Captain Obvious]

Son of a B  um..... Go get 'em.

[Rocky Davis]

Wade Phillips is a good DC, but one caveat here:  he has always been seen as a "great" coordinator when his defenses had great personnel.  Do we have that in Carolina?

I mean one of the reasons the Rams struggled this year was because their d-line wasn't as dominant and the secondary wasn't quite as good. 

Do you think he could put a viable D out there for us?  I do know he will make in game adjustments which is more than I can say for old Riverboat.

Josh McDaniels, Wade Phillips and the Patriots Oline coach whom is said to possibly be leaving would be fantastic and then bring in that colts CB coach as our secondary coach... wow

Firing a coordinator as scapegoat is a tried and true play out of the HC who just had a bad season. Phillips is still a good coordinator. I say grab him.

I think there is something to this statement.

Well one would tend to assume that as a coordinator he had a hand in building those defenses into what they became. 

[Mr. Scot]

He doesn't have any connection to any of our HC candidates that I can find.

Pure speculation: The Patriots have frequently run a 3-4 while McDaniels has been head coach and that's Wade's specialty.

[Soul Rebel]

If we stay with the 3-4, it would be a no-brainer for me...bring him on!!

HC: McDaniels

OC: Shurmur

DC: Phillips 

Lezzzzz gooooooo!

[(ATL'ien)CamNewton]

Remember when everyone was salivating over how great McVay was ...

McVay is a trash can

[Mr. Scot]

Not retiring, at least we know that...

He'll go to Dallas before us

Gregg Easterbrook of Tuesday Morning Quarterback used to point out HC’s making this move year after year after year. I went from being oblivious to it to understanding why coordinators whose units didn’t perform all that poorly or who had little talent to work with still get fired. Easterbrook is great for peeling back the curtain and showing the why of a lot of things that may not make sense to fans because owners, coaches and GM’s would rather fans not be wise to their shenanigans.

He doesn't have a connection to Mike McCarthy that I know of, but he does have a connection to Jerry Jones.

That might be a bigger deal.

So you’re saying his connection is to the actual decision maker, not the newly installed puppet?

I'm saying if Dallas wants him, it wouldn't exactly be surprising if they get him.
