Rams

A report recently surfaced that Wade Phillips may not be back as the Rams’ defensive coordinator in 2020. 

When asked about the report, Phillips said he’s heard the rumors, but still wants to continue coaching. 

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors out there, but I don’t pay attention to rumors,” said Phillips, via ESPN.com. “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 HC 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. “And we keep those things behind closed doors.

“We’ll finish off this season… we’ll take some time to really be able to reflect back on the year, look back at some of the things that we need to do as we’re moving forward.”
