Wade Phillips’ Super Bowl outfit a tribute to father Bum
The Los Angeles Rams left for Atlanta for the site of the Super Bowl on Sunday, and they were all wearing matching blue jumpsuits. But one member of the team stood out above all — defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
Phillips looked super classy with a sheepskin coat and cowboy hat. The outfit was a tribute by Wade to his father Bum, a former NFL head coach who died in 2013.

How can you not love that?
Bum never made it to a Super Bowl — his Houston Oilers lost in the AFC Championship Game twice — while Wade is looking for his second Super Bowl win as an assistant coach.
