Wade Phillips named PFWA Co-Assistant Coach of the Year

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Perhaps no offseason addition has been as much a catalyst for the Denver Broncos as Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips, who transformed a formidable and talented defense into a dominant and terrifying unit.

For his level of success, the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) named Phillips Co-Assistant Coach of the Year, along with former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who was hired by the Cleveland Browns to be their new head coach on Jan. 16.

When Phillips arrived in February as part of Head Coach Gary Kubiak's new staff, Phillips mentioned that he wanted to unleash the defense, and after a season in which the Broncos led the league in sacks and in fewest yards allowed, it's clear he and his defensive staff have had that impact.

Well deserved. Congratulations to Wade.

And to think, we tried real hard to go in another direction.

Nothing against Joseph, he may very well be a great DC, but we really don't KNOW.

Wade should have been choice #1 from the start.

I know I was a LOT LOT LOT more thrilled when we signed Phillips than Kubiak. I thought this was the signing of the year for us, for sure. The guy is just great.

Very well deserved honor. I'm glad he agreed to come coach for us and hope he stays for a long time.

Wade Phillips: "I got the big hit award last week, but I heard Bryant's not going to play until next August. I hope he's OK (laughs)."
