Phillips has spent the past three seasons with O'Connell in Los Angeles as the Rams tight ends coach. The 43-year-old added responsibilities as the passing game coordinator for this past season, which ended with Los Angeles winning Super Bowl LVI.

Phillips had a hand in overseeing the development of Rams tight end Tyler Higbee, who just completed his sixth NFL season and posted his best stats in the past three years. Higbee recorded 500-plus receiving yards in each of the past three seasons, catching 13 total touchdowns in that span.

Phillips was also crucial to Los Angeles' aerial attack in 2021 as the passing game coordinator. The Rams ranked fifth overall with 273.1 passing yards per game and third with 7.65 passing yards per play.

@SemperFeist... where's your updated coaching roster for us? any blanks left to fill?

Basically it looks like the linebackers coach, or inside linebackers coach, is the only significant position left to be announced.
