Very true. And I wasn't sure if Dick LeBeau was still coaching or not. My thinking is a Wade Phillips hire is one that says you want to whip your defense into shape as quickly as possible, have it a top 5 defense within three years, and then hope that when you need a new DC, you will have become a contender (if not already won a Super Bowl), and handing the defense over to a less experienced DC wouldn't be as bad of a transition as where we're at right now.

Having said that, I'm all aboard for Phillips. Either Phillips, Bradley, or Pettine.
