Just to correct your assertion, Phillips and Kubiak have never coached together before. Kubiak was a ball boy back in the Luv Ya Blue days of the Oilers, and Wade was a defensive coach.
In Denver, Gary was a backup QB and Wade was as DC in 1989, 1990, and 1991. They did not have much interaction during this time. Gary retired from playing and went to A&M as a RB coach, and Wade later became the HC of the Broncos in 1993.
Kubiak has coached against Wade for years, especially when Wade was with the Chargers and Gary was the OC of the Broncos.
This is the 1st time they have coached together on a team.
