An Insider view on our next DC if Bowles gets a H-C job.
Wade Phillips
Phillips runs a single-gap, 3-4 defense that Arizona flourished in this past season, so his transition to the Cardinals would be seamless and would allow them to continue their growth from 2013. Even as the Texans kept sinking this year, the defense stayed afloat as the top-ranked unit in the league for most of the season. It finished seventh, one spot below the Cardinals. But if the rankings show anything, it's that Phillips knows how to adapt. The Texans were ranked 16th in passing yards allowed in 2012 and finished third this past season. And he knows how to handle big names, having worked with
J.J. Watt the past few years.
