John Elway Rules Out Assistants For Head-coaching Job; Wade Phillips Talks About His Future

... with Broncos, of course.”. Earlier in the day, Phillips was on  Mile High Sports Radio as a guest of Gil Whiteley and said: “There are no guarantees here, but that’s a coach’s life. We won 24 games in two years and a Super Bowl, and (I) might not have a job.”. A 46-year coaching veteran, Phillips has been a part of nine NFL franchises, including the Broncos in separate stints. When Kubiak arrived in January 2015, the team’s first choice for defensive coordinator was Vance Joseph, then the defensive backs coach for the Bengals. When Cincinnati refused to release him from his contract, however, the Broncos turned to Phillips, who had been out of a job for a year after being fired by the Texans in 2014. Joseph is now the defensive coordinator for the Dolphins and on the Broncos’ list of head coaching candidates. And Phillips is now looking for work. “Hopefully my resume is good enough that I can get another (job),” Phillips told Whiteley. “If not here, somewhere.”. Elway said none of the Broncos’ assistants will be considered for the ...

With Wade Phillips Gone, Will New Names Emerge In Redskins D-coordinator Search

... his former coach Bill Belichick. "Mike does a tremendous job. As a player he was very astute, had a great understanding of his position and technique and how to play his spot and corresponding positions from an overall standpoint," Belichick said via The Houston Chronicle. "He had a very good grasp of the overall defensive and offensive concepts and how they would attack different fronts.". Vrabel won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, and was named All-Pro in 2007. His work as a player is clearly defined, but his potential as a coach seems to be just beginning. Last year, Vrabel declined an offer to go run the San Francisco defense, instead getting a raise from the Texans. Houston finished this season with the No. 1 defense in the NFL. There are no high-level connections between Vrabel and the Redskins. The former Ohio State linebacker also played ...

How Crucial Is It For Broncos To Keep Wade Phillips As Defensive Coordinator

... him or the system. The system is built around the players and the players make it work — or not work. The Broncos’ outside-linebacker group remains deep, even if De Marcus Ware doesn’t return. Their secondary has at least another year together. They can continue without Phillips and still be very successful, especially if the next head coach decides to promote defensive backs coach Joe Woods or someone else from within to ease the transition. But filling the role of Phillips isn’t as simple as plug-and-play, and the decision will made on multiple factors, including money. A lot has changed since previous Atlanta-Seattle matchup. January 13, 2017, 7:24 pm. As with any rematch, there are certainly things that both teams learned about each other the first time around.

Vance Joseph Wouldn’t Keep Wade Phillips

... or the job. not only no but hell no. Jan 6, 2017 1:46 AM. Then I dont want Vance Joseph. history says. Jan 6, 2017 5:20 AM. This has nothing to do with Joseph being black or some Rooney rule. This guy would have been the DC beore Phillips if Cincy would have allowed him to interview for the job years ago. Philips was only hired because they couldn’t get him. So, yes, he would have been the natural replacement Rooney rule or not. Now, let’s get out there and make America great again. brianav 036 says. Jan 6, 2017 5:26 AM. I am a Dolphin fan and I believe that Joseph is a good coach but I don’t understand how he received amso many interviews. Miami won despite its defense this season not because of it. They have the 30 th ranked defense. They have a ton of injuries but again how does a first time cordinator running the worst defense in the NFL get interviews with 5 BEL teams. bronx 33 says. Jan 6, 2017 6:25 AM. mcjon 22 says. Jan 5, 2017 10:29 PM. Well, since he has already worked with Gase multiple season’s in Denver, I think Miami would be a logical landing spot for him. Phillips never worked with Gase in Denver. Joseph’s name just came off the ...

Will Washington Make A Run At Wade Phillips

... to Washington. And it could be the presence of Wade’s son, tight ends coach Wes Phillips, that lures Wade to town as well.

You’d think with Kubiak’s stunning departure they’s want some continuity. Head coaches don’t ALWAYS get to pick all their coordinators and given how strong the Broncos’ defense has been you’d think many if not all candidates would be perfectly happy to inherit Phillips as their DC. Jan 5, 2017 2:15 PM. Please do so. Dr Steve Brule says. Jan 5, 2017 2:38 PM. 70 years old and still wanting to work an 80 hour per week job. No wonder Jay Gruden, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Cowher don’t take coaching jobs. They actually get to enjoy their time off. key 2 heat says. Jan 5, 2017 2:57 PM.

Wade Phillips’ Hiring Outshines Even Sean Mcvay’s

... congested. “It’s important to get the offense married to the defense,” said general manager Les Snead, realizing a nasty divorce was looming in the Rams’ locker room by December. “But it’s a team sport. If the other team is getting more possessions and our defense is having to go back on the field, it will wear down. “But two games stand out and we can recite them (fourth-quarter losses to Miami and San Francisco). We got a 10-point lead over Miami with six minutes to go and they’ve got 99 total yards, and they wind up with drives of 76 and 75 to win it. That’s something you want to eliminate, for sure.”. Snead, who said he was returning as general manager, noted that Phillips asks defenses to be “proactive. Less thinking. More attacking. Denver always had good players, but in the past two years they were different.”. ...

Wade Phillips Wants To Stay With Broncos, Laments Being Unemployed

... keep him. Ideally, their next coach will retain the defensive coaching staff and fix the offense. Whether the coach actually will do that won’t be known until he is hired. With G. M. John Elway admitting that he has three or four candidates in mind, the process shouldn’t take very long. Unless the guy Elway wants works for a team that will be playing deep into the postseason.

There’s no way Wade could not be “generally aware” that his D has been excessively dirty for the past few years, including in the SB itself. Indeed, it must be part of the plan, or at least he did nothing to stop it. So, given the impact for this lack of integrity on a par with (if not worse) than Sean Payton, I’m sure Cap “Buster” Elway and Fraudger Goofdell will belatedly ban him. robfootball says. Jan 2, 2017 6:21 PM. They would be insane not to keep him. The new HC’s goodwill with the fan base would evaporate instantly. mlhigh says. Jan ...
