Well, it was a fun two years:

Wade Phillips has agreed to terms to become Rams defensive coordinator, per source.

******* embarassing

Thank you Wade for the Lombardi.

Well ****, don't we just look like a bunch of effing morons.

letting a great coach go because of money.

f**k you, vance joseph! it's on you to get it done at the same level now. . .

Wade Phillips' departure made tough call easy for Broncos. They were NOT going to lose rising star Joe Woods to keep Wade. #9sports

all these randoms.

I am still on the I will wait to see what Vance does with the team bit since he is the guy now, but all I can say is if the Broncos don't improve the offense and the defense falls out of the top 5, it is Elway that should be looking for a new job next year for this hire.

Vance better be the shit.

lol at this having anything to do with Joseph. All the writing on the wall was that wade was gone no matter who we hired. It's been trending this way for a few weeks.

Sad to see him go but that's the business. Joe Woods is a rising star and the Broncos didn't want to lose him, it's a bummer to lose Wade but that's how the cookie crumbles.

Wade knows that we he fans love him and I doubt he would ever have to buy his own dinner in this state. He'll always be a Bronco at heart.

Oh, and also,

Wade Phillips, born two years after World War II, will be working for someone who graduated high school in 2004.

My question to people who blame VJ for this, what was he supposed to do? Wade's contract was up. Was he supposed to hold him down and force him to re-sign? If you read between the lines, it's looked like Wade was as good as gone for weeks. For whatever reason, it just wasn't going to happen. It seems ridiculous to me to blame VJ, especially since he was brought up in coaching under Wade and probably has as much respect for him as anyone.
