Wade Phillips will interview for the vacant Washington defensive coordinator’s job on Friday, NBC-4 in Washington D.C. reported on Thursday.
Phillips has been the defensive coordinator of the Broncos for the last two seasons, but his contract has expired and the Broncos just hired Vance Joseph as their new head coach. Joseph would not commit to anything regarding his assistants on Thursday and said he’d take the next few days to build his staff.
With four vacant head coaching jobs now filled, the race is on to hire the top coordinators. A report Wednesday said Phillips would be the top defensive coordinator choice of Sean McVay, who was hired as head coach of the Rams on Thursday.
The Redskins fired three members of their defensive staff, including coordinator Joe Barry, earlier this month after a disappointing finish to the 2016 season.
