Former Denver head coach Wade Phillips is back in Denver interviewing for the Broncos defensive coordinator job.

Phillips, who also was the head coach in Buffalo and Dallas, was the defensive coordinator from 2011-13 in Texas under new Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak.

The 67-year-old Phillips has been a defensive coordinator with the Chargers, Falcons, Bills, Broncos, Eagles and Saints.

The Broncos defense this past season tied for 16th in points allowed but ranked third in yards allowed despite some high-profile offseason acquisitions.
