Sam Darnold appears to have revitalized his career, and nobody’s happier to see it happen than San Antonio Brahmas coach Wade Phillips.
Darnold, 27, has completed 72% of his passes for 476 yards with four touchdowns against two interceptions through two games in Minnesota, helping the Vikings begin the season with a 2-0 record.
Phillips took to Twitter/X on Tuesday to remind football fans who has been coaching Darnold up in Minnesota.
“For those who don’t know — Wes Phillips is Sam Darnold’s offensive coordinator,” Phillips tweeted on Tuesday.
Wes, of course, is Wade’s son. The younger Phillips has been the Vikings’ offensive coordinator since 2022.

Proud dad moment.
Wade coached in the NFL from 1976-2019, including two stints with the Denver Broncos. After serving as defensive coordinator from 1989-1992, Philips was Denver’s head coach from 1993-1994. He later returned to the Broncos as defensive coordinator in 2015 and helped the club win Super Bowl 50.
Phillips now coaches the Brahmas in the UFL and his son, Wes, is enjoying success in Minnesota, his fourth stop in the NFL.
