    For same role. Incredible..

    “Should Cleveland decide to move on from Wilks despite those limitations, Phillips has more than proved his worth over the years. His experience as a defensive coordinator dates back to 1981, and he recently helped the Rams to Super Bowl LIII with the likes of back-to-back reigning Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald.

    Phillips also won Super Bowl 50 as the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator, and his unit featured Super Bowl MVP linebacker Von Miller. “

      I'm all for Wade as DC- he's still one of the best, has previous HC experience, just get it done.

        The fact they are still considering keeping Wilks blows my mind.

          Honestly Baffling.  Right after the Cardinal game I thought he would be the first guy out of here and they would possibly let Kitchens come back 

          makes no sense

                      Doesnt Phillips run a base 3-4? If we bring him here would we trade Garrett?

                        Since THE PROCESS wanted to draft Trubisky instead of Garrett, maybe we can trade Myles to Chicago?

                          My worry is that he’d seemingly be coming here for a paycheck. I’d HAPPILY take him over Wilks though.

                            1 gap, bud Wilkins disciple.  No real personnel changes would have to be made. 

                            I.e. Demarcus Ware in Dallas v Den.

                              I would sure hope not. Myles would likely have to convert to a pass rushing edge OLB. I think he would excel as an LB.
                              He’s so athletic that I’d imagine he will suffice in coverage. 

                              Good read about Phillips’ defense:
                              https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.milehighreport.com/platform/amp/2015/1/27/7922019/the-wade-phillips-3-4

                              Wade’s defense needs ILBs that can cover(Mack Wilson and Joe Schobert) 

                              Would Kirksey oppose Garrett at OLB?

                                Wade will be 73 in June... I'm shocked he keeps wanting DC jobs.... but if he wants one more I'm good with that. He always seems to instantly produce a great D, but never quite sustains it.

                                I'd be shocked if it's not Stef that has final say, but candidate input from others would seem wise. Stef's spent almost his entire career in MN, so he's not been exposed to the broadcast of coaching cross-sections.

                                  There's nothing all that "different" about it when compared to some of the 40 under looks you'll see across the league.    Alignment and gap assignment is the big deal here.    

                                  Remember the Niners under Harbaugh? Vic Fangio was their D-cord and shares some similar philosophy to Wade - especially up front.    Go to YouTube, check them out, then go watch the Bears the past 3 seasons as well.  Same guy, same scheme. 

                                  Vernon would be the edge across from Garrett in base or pretty much any other look.

                                          Phillips runs a one-gap 3-4 base defense, which "in general" looks closer to a 4-3 in terms of personnel. So I don't think there would be any need to get up in arms about switching to a 3-4.
