Rams DC Wade Phillips not listening to reports of ouster

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Wade Phillips on Thursday acknowledged various reports that he might not be welcome to return next season as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams.

"I've heard a lot of rumors out there, but I don't pay attention to rumors," said Phillips, who is in the final season of his contract. "I'm going to do the best that I can do and if that's not good enough for somebody, then it isn't."

Rams coach Sean McVay said he spoke with Phillips about the reports that have surfaced.

"Wade and I discuss those things so we make sure there's a clear understanding of what goes on," McVay said.
