ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos on Tuesday announced that Jason Phillips, KiJuan Ware and Gerard Wilcher will join the team’s coaching staff during training camp as part of the Bill Walsh Minority Internship Program.
Phillips is a former NFL wide receiver who played five seasons with the Detroit Lions (1989-90) and Atlanta Falcons (1991-93), who most recently served as the co-offensive coordinator at Southern Methodist University. Before working at SMU, he spent nine seasons coaching at his alma mater, the University of Houston.
During his time coaching at Houston, Phillips participated in the 2008 NCAA Coaches Academy Program and the 2010 NCAA Champions Forum, both of which were designed to identify and nurture minority future head coaching candidates.
