Teams have pilfered coaches from the Los Angeles Rams time and and time again over the last several off-seasons - hoping to start the same winning culture that Sean McVay has instilled in LA.
Over the weekend another key member of McVay’s coaching staff was poached: tight-ends coach Wes Phillips, the son of former Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. Phillips is following Kevin O’Connell, LA’s offensive coordinator for the 2021 season, to the Minnesota Vikings. O’Connell was recently named head coach and Phillips will be his offensive coordinator. The two both spent time together in Washington, which is also where McVay shared connections to Phillips and O’Connell.
