Minnesota Vikings hiring Los Angeles Rams' Wes Phillips as offensive coordinator, source says
EAGAN, Minn. -- The Vikings are hiring Wes Phillips onto head coach Kevin O'Connell's staff to be the team's offensive coordinator, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Phillips has been with the Rams since the 2019 season and was the passing game coordinator and tight ends coach during the team's Super Bowl run in 2021. During his first two seasons in Los Angeles, the 43-year-old coached tight ends. In 2019, Tyler Higbee set single-season franchise records in receptions (69) and receiving yards (734) by a tight end. Higbee was also the first tight end since 1970 to record four straight games of seven or more receptions.
