  • Wes Phillips enters his third season as the Vikings' offensive coordinator.
  • Phillips has worked for four different NFL teams, including the Vikings.
  • Most of Phillips’ experience comes as a tight ends coach.

Wes Phillips enters his third season as the Vikings’ offensive coordinator in 2025. 

Phillips faces a challenge this season as the Vikings pivot to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. Last season, Minnesota ranked 15th in offensive DVOA, per ftnfantasy.com. 

Across his entire coaching career, Phillips has worked for four different teams, including the Vikings. 

After four seasons working in college football, Phillips worked seven seasons with the Cowboys:

  • 2007-10: Quality Control/Offensive Assistant
  • 2011-12: Asst. Offensive Line Coach
  • 2013: Tight Ends Coach

Phillips then spent five seasons with the Washington Redskins. There, he continued on as the tight ends coach. 

After leaving Washington, Phillips operated as the Rams’ tight ends coach for three seasons. In his final year with Los Angeles, he added pass game coordinator responsibilities. 

Behind Phillips, Los Angeles ranked eighth in pass offense DVOA that season. 

Since joining Minnesota as offensive coordinator, Minnesota’s offense has largely proved average. In his three seasons, Minnesota has yet to crack the top 10 of offensive DVOA.
