Surprised no one has posted yet. It is with a heavy heart to announce that Bum Phillips passed away last night at the age of 90. Just an awesome, good, honest Christian man who became one of the finest football coach ever.He served our country proudly as a U.S. Marine in WW II. He was loved and respected by all, on and off the field. He coached our Houston Oilers and eventually went on to coach the New Orleans Saints. He is now in the arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.We will miss you.
