There’s a popular quote that states defense wins championships, and if that is in fact the case, the Los Angeles Rams are going to be in good hands with Wade Phillips. The former Denver Broncos assistant was hired by the Rams on Thursday to be the team’s new defensive coordinator under new head coach Sean McVay, which gives fans every reason in the world to be excited.
Even though he’s never been as successful as a head coach, Phillips has seen plenty of success throughout his career as a defensive mastermind, and recently helped the Broncos win the Super Bowl during the 2015 season.
