Wade Phillips on verge of first championship as head coach

One of the most recognizable coaches in the history of Houston sports is set to accomplish a career first this weekend.

Wade Phillips will serve as the head coach in a league championship game for the first time in his career on Sunday as his San Antonio Brahmas face the Birmingham Stallions in the 2024 UFL Championship Game. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. CT at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, with FOX carrying the television broadcast.

While this marks the first title game appearance as a head coach for Phillips, the Southeast Texas native and University of Houston alum has plenty of big-game experience.
