Unexpectedly, Minnesota Vikings Coach Arrested for DWI
Wes Phillips, the offensive coordinator for Minnesota, was taken into custody on Friday night on suspicion of misdemeanour driving while drunk. The squad was informed of the arrest by Phillips, the son of former NFL head coach Wade Phillips, and he is anticipated to play this week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
This morning, the team spoke with the NFL and decided on Phillips’ next course of action. The NFL came to the decision that the offensive coordinator may go to Las Vegas with the club for this week’s match. Phillips and the team have declined to comment further on the subject at this time because there is still more information to be obtained.
The Career of Wes Phillips
Currently in his second season as the offensive coordinator for the Vikings, Phillips has coached in the league for 17 years. He coached tight ends for the Los Angeles Rams, who defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl. He is currently in his second season as an NFL head coach, and he has impressed the squad on the field.
Minnesota is now in second place in the NFC North division with a 6-6 record. They hold a slim lead over the Green Bay Packers in their division, and they will want to consolidate that position this week against the Raiders. On Phillips, more details on his apprehension are still pending and will probably be provided over the course of the next several days.
