Yup. This was another big reason I wanted Phillips.

I liked the fact that it took Phillips one season to turn that Texans defense around...and in the first year of their conversion to a 3-4. But oh well.

But Phillips did not work in Tampa, and we like to hire coaches with connections to Tampa, despite the fact that Tampa under Allen did not consistently win. But, hey, let's keep getting the Tampa band back together, regardless of whether they were sucky or not.
