POST #1 TOPIC AUTHOR Let me start by saying, in no uncertain terms, that I am NOT calling for Wade Phillips' head.That stated, I don't think its a lock that he'll be back in 2019. It not that I see him being fired. However, if the defense continues to struggle and he starts getting more heat as a result, I could see him announcing his "retirement" at the end of the year. Again... not a prediction, just a hypothetical.All that said, the guy I'd keep an eye on is Don Martindale, the Ravens' current DC. He was promoted this year, and has the team playing well in a scheme that has some similarities (at least from a personnel standpoint) Wade's. The reason I think he's a candidate is that it seems that John Harbaugh is on the hot seat. If he goes, Martindale likely would as well, making him a coaching "free agent."
