Wade Phillips
If you’re not following Wade Phillips’ every move, then you’re just not doing it right. Not only is he one of the greatest defensive coordinators in football history, but he’s one of the most entertaining people to ever grace the ranks of the NFL.
There are very few 68-year-old men who can relate to the 20 year olds he’s coaching, but Phillips is undoubtedly one of them.
And, much like the guys he coaches, Phillips is not afraid to speak his mind.
Just look at this tweet he posted after the Broncos took down the Browns earlier this year:
Had some brownies yesterday. They were tough but satisfying in the end.

And then this one from after the Packers victory:
Chicken Parm tastes so good-I like it especially with Cheese

And when “experts” tried to dissect Phillips’ game plan from the AFC Championship, he called them out for not knowing what they were talking about:
Funny how 'experts' don't know a blitz(6rush-5cover eligible receivers)from a dog(5rush-6cover)–there are also pseudo blitz & dog schemes

He’s also a guy who helped get Shiloh Keo get signed off Twitter and burned Martavis Bryant and the Steelers so bad that the Pittsburgh fire department had to be called in for an emergency rescue.
When the media huddles around Phillips this week, I have no doubt that he will deliver some pure gold. With as witty and quick as he is, “Son Of Bum” may be the star of Super Bowl week.
