Bum was HC of the great Earl Campbell teams of the late '70s in Houston. He was a good guy, had a great sense of humor and a folksy way about him. His odd nickname added to his colorful persona.

He was a great coach that got a lot out of very little talent and was very quotable.

:yeahthat: ... I was an Oiler fan because i was a huge Earl Campbell fan ... after the Patriots of course. Bum got alot out of that team ... remember Billy "White Shoes" Johnson ... a great player back then.

Didn't need to see it on tv. Already knew it.

Great analysis though, using a nickname of a legendary football coach to hate on his son.

Is this guy in his 90's or does Wade Philips just look older than he is? When they showed that guy I was reminded of the "Mandelbaums" on Seinfeld.

"You think you're better than me?"

"You think you're better than HIM?" :rocker:

Yes. Pepper Johnson played linebacker for Bill Belichick when BB was a defensive coordinator for the Giants, then coach of the Browns. This was in the 80's and 90's. In the National Football League. In New York and Cleveland. :rolleyes:

Your age is really showing here. Don't embarrass Patriots fans any further.

Bum Phillips was a great head coach. Nothing bad to say about him. Do your homework.
