This first hire was important and a very good get imo..

Age 69 (Turns 70 on 06/21/2017)

The Suspense is building on who will follow young McVay to the offensive side of the ball? OC and QB coach. It seems we can expect lots of transactions in the next 48 hours.

Wes Phillips enters his third season as the Redskins’ tight ends coach after initially being named to the position on January 17, 2014.

In 2015, Phillips presided over arguably the most prolific season by a tight end in Redskins history, as third-year pro Jordan Reed shattered team records for receptions (87) and receiving yards (952) by a tight end. Including a 24-yard touchdown reception in the NFC Wild Card Round vs. Green Bay, Reed tied a team record for combined regular season and postseason receiving touchdowns (12) in a single year. Reed’s breakout campaign was supplemented by a rotating cast of tight ends, as Phillips effectively integrated preseason trade acquisition Derek Carrier, midseason signings Anthony McCoy and Alex Smith, waiver addition Marcel Jensen, first-year player Je’Ron Hamm and eligible-tackle Tom Compton after the unit lost two presumptive contributors (Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen) to injury in the preseason.

In his first season in Washington in 2014, Phillips guided Paul to a breakout campaign, as the special teams standout shattered career highs in receptions (39) and receiving yards (507) after entering the season with 14 career catches and 228 career receiving yards to his credit in his first three years in the league. Phillips also oversaw the development of Reed, who finished third on the team with a then-career-high 50 receptions in his sophomore campaign.

Prior to joining the Redskins, Phillips spent seven seasons in various capacities with the Dallas Cowboys. He joined Dallas in 2007 as the club’s quality control/offensive assistant coach before relinquishing his role as a quality control coach in 2011 to become the club’s assistant offensive line coach in addition to continuing to assist special teams. In 2013, Phillips was named the tight ends coach, helping Jason Witten post the second-most touchdowns in a season in his career (eight).

In 2012, Phillips assisted with an offensive line that helped the Cowboys finish with 5,994 net yards, the thirdmost in a season in franchise history, and set a single- season club record with 4,729 passing yards despite having Phil Costa, the team’s starting center, for only three games. In 2011, the unit integrated new starters at four of the five positions, helping Tony Romo post his third career 4,000-yard season while rookie running back DeMarco Murray established a single-game team rushing record with a 253-yard performance against St. Louis.

In Phillips’ four seasons as Dallas’ quality control/offensive assistant coach from 2007-10, the Cowboys’ offense posted total yardage numbers ranking in the Top 10 in team history three times, including setting single-season club records in 2010 that included 6,390 yards of total offense – marking the first time a Cowboys team topped 6,000 yards in a season in team history – and 4,287 passing yards. The offense as a whole finished second in the league in total offense, averaging 399.4 yards per game.

Before landing in Dallas, Phillips coached quarterbacks at Baylor in 2006. His work with quarterback Shawn Bell paid dividends as Bell established school single-season records despite missing the final three games with a knee injury.

Prior to his one-year stint at Baylor, Phillips spent two seasons as the quarterbacks coach at West Texas A&M University. The Buffaloes celebrated their most successful season in almost 55 years in 2005, finishing 10-2 to post their first winning season since 1998 and the program’s first 10-win season since 1950.

WTAMU won the Lone Star Conference with an 8-1 record, its first league title since 1986 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA D-II Playoffs for the first time in school history. The school led the 2005 Division II ranks in passing offense, racking up 363.8 yards per game. He tutored quarterback Dalton Bell, a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which goes to the top Division II player.

Prior to joining the WTAMU staff, Phillips spent one season as a student assistant coach at his alma mater, UTEP, and played two seasons at quarterback for the San Diego Riptide of the af2.

A three-year letter winner at UTEP (1999-2001), Phillips was a member of the 2000 Miners team that shared the WAC title, posted the school’s highest win total in more than a decade and played in the Humanitarian Bowl. Phillips left the collegiate ranks among the school’s single-season leaders in both pass efficiency (ninth – 120.0 in 2001) and completion percentage (eighth – 55.6 in 2001).

Wade Phillips to Rams as defensive coordinator

Posted by Josh Alper on January 12, 2017, 10:01 PM EST

[profootballtalk.nbcsports.com]

The Rams will be balancing out the league’s youngest head coach with a very experienced defensive coordinator.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Wade Phillips will be running the defense for Sean McVay in Los Angeles. There was a report that Phillips was McVay’s preferred choice as defensive coordinator before McVay was hired by the Rams.

Phillips ran the defense in Denver for the last two years and won the first Super Bowl of his long career thanks to an overwhelming effort by his unit.

In addition to his long list of defensive coordinator stints, Phillips has been a head coach on six occasions with one of them — an interim tour with the Saints in 1985 — coming before McVay was even born. That knowledge of the NFL would help any head coach, but Phillips should be particularly beneficial to a young one who comes from an offensive background.

McVay worked with Phillips’ son Wes with the Redskins. The younger Phillips is that team’s tight ends coach and the team was interested in interviewing his father, but will now have to look elsewhere to replace Joe Barry.
