Wade Phillips, Defensive Coordinator

Wade Phillips comes along with 43-plus years of NFL coaching experience as a head coach and defensive coordinator. In the past two years, he commanded the Los Angeles Rams defense under Sean McVay and helped this unit reach Super Bowl LIII.

He also coached the Denver Broncos’ historically dominant defense in 2015 led by Von Miller and Demarcus Ware, which won Super Bowl 50.

Phillips could be the answer for a Giants defense that has ranked among the league’s worst over the past three years.
