N/S Rams Hire Wade Phillips As DC (1 Viewer)

Not understanding the "**** your couch" reference, but I am always happy to be reminded of Chappelle Show.

It was my reaction when I found out the Rams hired him lol

Would have liked him here

Do we have enough talents for him to be successful here? In Denver, especially last year, he had some of the premier players on defense. Not just role players, but premier players on all positions. He had the players to fit into his scheme. Remember, he was fired from the Texan a few years back. That is not to say he won't be successful here, but as of now, are our players good enough to allow him to be successful? What if Dennis Allen was coaching that Denver defense during their Super Bowl run? Because losing some key free agents, their defense did suffered a bit this past season. I am not for or against Wade Phillips coming here, but could anyone see any huge difference?

Man the Broncos are falling hard after that super bowl win.

It goes to show how fleeting top level success can be in the NFL. The Broncos did have a great run while Peyton was there though; making two Super Bowls in 3 years is no small feat. Gonna be tough for them to put the pieces back together.

I understand your point. You would have to look at his track record to get the answer for that. I see Wade Phillips as a guy like GW - someone who can get the most production out of the least talent. He was fired from the Texans as a Interim Head Coach, not Defensive Coordinator.

DA is not a bad coordinator, but he doesn't have the skins on the wall or the proven track record that Phillips does.

Also to be fair to Dennis, Vacarro, Fairly, Stupar, Robinson, and to some degree Byrd had their best season under him. The jury is still out on Dennis. I do like his approach but I can't say much until next season. If we improve significantly on defense, then I will consider Dennis to be a good coordination. Based on our porous defense, I do understand why some would want Wade. We will see.

This is a great hire for the young coach. He is already doing better than Jeff "8-8" Fisher.

Why was that your reaction?

Did you really believe the Saints were going to hire him?

 

[St.Fury]

Man. I can't believe they didn't hire Les Miles as their DC. What's wrong with them?

 

[Brock Meaux]

And then they hired Bill Johnson as their d-line coach. Now he gets Aaron Donald...talk about failing up.

If Payton truly cared about winning, we would have hired Phillips. But we will continue to try to win games by outscoring our opponents. And we will do it roughly half the time, give or take a game.

We gave up a whopping 28.4 ppg this past season, only the 49ers were worse.
