Texans | Envision strong pass rush without Mario Williams

Mon, 07 May 2012 07:27:50 -0700

Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips expects even bigger things from his unit in 2012 - even after DL Mario Williams signed with the Buffalo Bills. Phillips believes players like LB Brooks Reed and DL J.J. Watt will be better with a year of experience in his system, and the Texans reloaded the defense by drafting LB Whitney Mercilus and DL Jared Crick. "They're all really good players," Phillips said. "We can be awfully strong."

Texans | Wade Phillips believes he can be a head coach

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 06:30:13 -0800

Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said Thursday, Jan. 5, that he "should be considered" for head coaching jobs in the future. Phillips says he's not looking to be a head coach again, though he believes his record (82-59) would make him a viable candidate. "I don't like to toot my own horn," Phillips said. "I've got a good record. I think I should be considered. I guess people may have taken it the wrong way that I ought to be a head coach. I don't believe that. I think I should be considered. If you look at my record, and you can look at all the people they're talking about now, and my record is better than most everyone they're talking about, as a head coach."
