this satement couldn't be any further from the truth. I've heard people call Wade a "defensive guru" and crap like that. what has a Wade Phillips defense ever won? Wade is one of the most overrated defensive coaches in NFL history.Romo 2 Austin;3127217 said:

John Gruden for HC and interview Keith Butler of the Steelers for DC.
Gruden would final provide Romo with true NFL calibre QB coaching. Give Gruden close to a QB and he will score. An attitude injection he will also provide.
Butler runs the linebackers for the Steelers and has been working under Dick Lebeau for the last few years, The Steelers (and Lebeau) run a 'mean' 3-4 which is exactly what we need.. another attitude injection.
FWIW

Keith Butler would be intriguing.
Keith Butler enters his seventh year on the Steelers’ coaching staff after joining the staff prior to the 2003 season. He remained on staff following Mike Tomlin’s hiring in January, 2007.
Butler and Tomlin previously worked together at Memphis in 1996, where Butler was the linebackers/defensive ends/special teams coach and Tomlin served as the Tigers defensive backs coach.
Butler was named the Steelers’ linebackers coach Jan. 28, 2003, after serving the previous four seasons in a similar capacity with the Cleveland Browns (1999-02).
Butler has been instrumental in the development of the Steelers’ highly regarded linebacking corps. The unit includes two 2009 Pro Bowl players, James Farrior and James Harrison. Under Butler’s tutelage, Farrior, a second-team All-Pro in 2008, has led the Steelers’ defense in tackles for the past three seasons. Butler has also helped groom Harrison into one of the league’s elite performers. Harrison’s 2008 season included winning AP Defensive Player of the Year, making his second straight Pro Bowl start, earning a second consecutive team MVP award and recording a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII, the longest play in Super Bowl history.
Harrison and LaMarr Woodley teamed to produce the most sacks in a single-season by a duo in Steelers’ history with a combined 27.5 sacks in 2008. The linebacker unit as a whole was a key reason behind the Steelers finishing the regular season first overall in total defense and against the pass, and second against the run. Butler was also named NFL Linebacker Coach of the Year by Pro Football Weekly.
In 2006, Butler’s linebacking crew helped the Steelers rank second in the AFC and third in the NFL in rushing defense. The unit allowed just 88.3 rushing yards per game and helped the defense to not allow a 100-yard rusher the entire season.
In 2005, Butler’s linebackers helped the Steelers lead the AFC and rank fourth in the NFL in total defense. The sack tandem of Joey Porter (10.5) and Clark Haggans (9.0) ranked as the best for a linebacker duo in the entire NFL.
Prior to joining the Browns’ staff, Butler spent nine years coaching in the college ranks, beginning his coaching career at his alma mater, Memphis, where he coached linebackers from 1990-97 and also coached defensive ends and special teams (1995-97). He then served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Arkansas State in 1998.
Butler, 52, was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 1978 NFL Draft and played linebacker for 10 seasons (1978-87) with Seattle. He started 132-of-146 games in his career and still ranks second on the club’s all-time tackles list with 813.
A three-year starter at inside linebacker for Memphis, Butler led the school in tackles his junior and senior seasons. He finished his collegiate career with 384 tackles and seven interceptions. He was named a 1977 Associated Press All-American and played in the 1977 Senior Bowl and Blue-Gray All-Star Game.
Butler was born May 16, 1956, in Anniston, Ala. He and his wife Janet have three sons—Blake (26), Brandon (24) and Brett (22).

Yes i've been touting him for some time, thanks for posting the bio.
He molds 3-4 linebackers, instrumental of course in a 3-4 defense. At the draft he would be invaluable in helping to identify those specific players with the skill sets to play that position in the NFL.
In addition you have to learn something just from absorption when working with Lebeau.

Give Wade a 5 year extension. I like where this is going!
