Rams North: Kevin O'Connell picks Wes Phillips to be Vikings offensive coordinator

New Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell appears set to bring at least one more Rams assistant with him to Minnesota.

The Vikings are expected to name Wes Phillips, the former Rams tight ends coach, as the next offensive coordinator under O'Connell, who was introduced last week as Mike Zimmer's successor. According to multiple reports, Phillips will reunite with O'Connell in Minnesota for a third stop after they coached together in Washington and Los Angeles.

Phillips, 43, brings a family legacy as the son of Wade Phillips, who coached 42 seasons and made it to three Super Bowls, and grandson of Bum Phillips, the legendary Oilers and Saints head coach.
