Bum Phillips - Head Coach - Luv Ya Blue Houston Oilers

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Die Mark Madden! Take your Squeelers with you.

[cyberzonie]

There's NOTHING like pro football of the 1960's and '70s

[76carmel]

"Can I tell ya one thing? That's three holding penalties on one football team in a quarter and a half. It ain't funny."-- favorite line from Bum Phillips.

[buttercremehonda]

"The harder we played, the behinder we got" God I wish I could have played for this man!

[Oaklandsucksballs]

HAHAHAHAHAHA 1:57

[ClassicRocker61]

All together now

Houston Oilers

Houston Oilers

Houston Oilers #1

[sportyguyusa]

Bum was a great coach. He is loved in Houston and New Orleans, the 2 cities where he coached. If the Pittsburgh Steelers didnt exist, he would have been a Super Bowl champ.

[rayjr62]

Mark Madden is such a fucking asshole. Why did his mug have to appear on this video clip.

Joke.

[tikibanshee]

2 people have no clue

[longhorn2615]

I love that Columbia Blue

[WizzoPro9476]

My Boy!

[jeffee50]

I am a huge Steelers fan but I always respected the Oilers. 

[thenintendogamer]

Texans suck, Titans suck, Cowboys suck. We want the Oilers!

[superserial1]

I hope Wade can work his way to the top in Houston. Kubiak is a friggin' moron. He can't call & manage games worth a damn.

[MrBeanage]

Bum and the family live in H-town! Wade's in. Bum's wearing a Texans shirt and sitting with Bob McNair in the suite.

[snoop1550]

Now look here. I am a tennessee titans fan to the bone, however, if the houston oilers became a team once more i would burn my titans jersey.

[bahwheat]

When the Oilers and Steelers went against each other in the playoffs, I felt like that WAS the Super Bowl. The two best teams in football except they were in the same conference. I truly believe that if the Oilers had played the champion from the NFC that Houston would have beaten them just like the Steelers did. It was a fun rivalry with Pittsburgh unlike the hatred between the Steelers and the Raiders. Thanks for the great memories Bum!! Go Black & Gold and Luv ya Blue!!!!

[KingOfKingz819]

the Phillips name returns to Houston...Wade is our new Def. Coordinator

[KatsOlman]

@KingOfKingz819 Which is where he belongs. He is a damn good Defensive Coordinator, not so much a head coach

[houtexmk15]

BUD ADAMS SUCKS!!!!! Wish the Oilers were still in Houston!!!

[yashespatel]

do ya'll think bum is too old to come back and coach the Texans?

[KingOfKingz819]

i wanna kick Bud Adams ass so bad for taking away my Oilers...even though im fine with the Texans

[DoesNotExist305]

anyone know why modern day uniforms dont have long sleeves? Long sleeves are way better.

[scotter420wigb]

his son Wade Phillips just got fired like a Waterboy.....your fired!!

[cincyblows]

What a class act!!

[rayjr62]

Who the fuck is this Mark Madden fatass? Asshole. Shut the fuck up.

[dcunc1975]

LONG LIVE BUM & THE OILERS!!!!

Screw you Jerry Jones and the HELL with the Cowboys!!!

[roydk06]

I miss the great coaches like Bum Phillips, Leeman Bennett and others. They made football fun and were genuine.I still love the game but coaching and players are more about being overpaid underachievers. Its so different now.

[machiiniiima]

everyone was southern like me. nascar and football used to be the most southern sports

[dmunoz5999]

I was a Hairdresser back in the Disco Days working for Visible Changes. Every Sunday we could go to the Astrodome free and sat on the 50-yard line, witnessing Bum Phillips and Earl Campbell. If you wonder, why we could go every Sunday to the Dome was because there was a thing that was Law here in TX called "Blue Law" –  Houston Loves and will always respect Bum Phillips!

[FrozenTundraofHell]

Bum Phillips wasn't much of a coach. he had Earl Campbell think about it.

He didn't build an offense around him either, which is the reason Campbell's body is so fucked up today. Their QB sucked, their passing game was shit. Earl Campbell got the ball every down. Run, run, run, run, run, run. That's one reason his stats were so high in his short career.

[rzapalac]

@FrozenTundraofHell Campbell's body is in bad shape because of a hereditary degenerative back disorder. Football made it progress a bit quicker, but Campbell would have been in the same shape by 60 either way. Also, Pastorini is and has been one of the more underrated quarterbacks of the era. And, Bum was a helluva coach...the owner was the weakness...

[rayjr62]

@FrozenTundraofHell He was an excellent coach. You don't know what you are talking about. The Oilers problem back then was that they could not get past the Steelers.

If my I.Q. were several points lower I could actually enjoy the crap that you wrote.

[MACHIN3K1NG]

Just think if he were to come back and coach the Texans, now that would be awesome.

[mikemata71]

Bum PHILLUPS the seats... Never be another one like you!!!!

[pancho2065]

yes i say bring back the name houston oilers........

[thedude19766]

fat mark madden worst Wrestling announcer of all time

[HermFontenot]

This is a great series but it would be better without the input of Mark Madden. What a freaking blowhard that guy is.

[Market42Fan]

@HermFontenot I'm a Steeler fan and I don't like him. Personally, I'd like to see NFL Network place him in the studio with Phil Villapiano and George Atkinson just to see which of the two former Raiders would take a swing at him first.

[machiiniiima]

@Market42Fan im a steeler fan and i wish he would have coached us

[obrulz311]

i wanna see the rest of the countdown please

[laha43]

Who came up with the "it ain't over till the fat man spits phrase"? It had to be some asshole from Pittsburgh!

[giantlew]

The Houston Oilers were one of my favorite teams . I loved watching Earl Campbell run, Bum Phillips on the sideline and their cool helmet and colors. Good stuff.

[RememberTheOilers]

RememberTheOilers is the unofficial tribute site to the Houston Oilers. From 1960 to 1996, the oilers brought football to Houston. they won the first two AFL titles and reached the playoffs several times in their 36 years in the AFL and NFL. The Oilers moved to Tennessee in 1997, but they will be remembered forever. LUV YA BLUE!!

[Brian001000]

Man, those Luv Ya Blue Oilers will be missed! Remember Kanny Burrough? I found a website where he sells #00 merchandise. It's pretty nostalgic. Search 00Wear  to find it.

[geechi71]

I loved his baby blue ostrich cowboy boots. The NFL needs personalities like him, Tom Landry, Paul Brown and Jerry Glanville again.

[changoblanco1226]

They sold them back in the 80's here in Houston, my mom and dad bought me a pair waaaaay back then.

[jwill5587]

@geechi71 Tom Landry had no personality.

[tranurse]

@jwill5587 i always like him, even if i didn't really like the cowboys. he never changed.

[ramboconan1]

@ 1:44 whos is that kid? That cant be Wade can it?

[Coganboy]

No way. Wade was born in 47. He'd be 25-30 then. Maybe that's Wade's kid or another grandson, but that ain't Wade

[1point10]

@Coganboy Bum is 86. Wade is 63. That is Bum's son,.

[phntomstro]

Mark Madden is a joke. Plain and simple. I literally have never heard him utter a sane thought.

[ramboconan1]

yeah he could talk the horns off a goat ....

[slydawg221]

who's mark madden?

[phntomstro]

@slydawg221

Mark Madden is a radio commentator in Pittsburgh. He thinks the Steelers are the only team that ever did anything in the NFL. Take care and have a good one.

[phntomstro]

@slydawg221

[phoenixtimes2]

I loved Bum Phillips and the Houston Oilers!!!

[patsman191]

im a New England Patriots fan and my fan base was not allways loyal ether till after 2001. Look at Arizona Cardinals there fans are the biggest fair weather fans i ever seen.

[patsman191]

How could they fire a man like Bum Phillips i mean he fit Houston well cowboy hat the way he talked i gotta say that was a good coach for the Oilers. You see after Bum Phillips Houston didnt make the playoffs till they made it 6 times in a row 1987-1993 and choked all of them then played there last 2 seasons in a empty stadium 1995 and 1996 that shows the oilers fans were not that loyal.

[patsman191]

Bud Adams fired Bum they they went to shit in the 80s.

[patsman191]

Bum Phillips a man who did lead the Houston Oilers to 2 AFC Championships and thats that srry ass bud adams thats been owner of the Oilers/Titans sinse 1960.

[jennyamelie]

When Bum was fired, that tore the heart out of the team and out of the city's football fans.

I will never forget it.

I wish we could have fired the wretched team owner instead.

As a kid, I joined my family in going out for the 1978 homecoming in the Astrodome, after the loss to the Steelers.

The Bum/Earl years will probably always be my favorite in professional football.

Thanks for posting this!

[RAIDERS58th]

Has anyone noticed that Bum and his son Wade seem to be the same age?

[selloutasaurus]

He's much more than a "character". He's a football legend & coaching genius.

[600430]

I miss the Oilers.

[FrsBigeasy]

Bum Phillips wasn't just a "Great Character" but he could coach to.

[yusufu9]

absolutely right! i recall there were a couple of questionable calls by the refs in that second championship game against the steelers--the oilers might have won the super bowl that year.

[FrsBigeasy]

They might of been the 2nd best team in the NFL in the Late 1970's.

[76carmel]

I also think Coach Bum Phillips would fit in today's NFL.

[ErikS1975FreeState]

I agree Coach Phillips had a Strong Understanding of both Sides of the Ball, new Personal real well & Related with Players very well.

[76carmel]

Also, he was at that time with his coaching methods similar to Tony Dungy.

[ratmaslove]

texans suck oilers were good titans rock the tennessee titans are the real thing

[Sierra688]

Why the hell is that fat fuck from Pittsburgh on here commenting about Bum, one of the great coaches of all time. Bum forgot more about football than that turd in a polyester shirt ever even suspected.

[FridayNightLady]

STEELERS CHEAT!!

Oilers should have been at the big dance once...

[Coganboy]

Got that right. They even cheated Dallas. They should be hated by the entire state of Texas!

[redmustang03]

Even now, Bum still ranches cattle in South Texas and I bet you anything he's totally content.

[redmustang03]

Both father and son have a laid back attitude, both are country boys, both have huge Southern accents, both were well liked by their players, etc. Now the difference between father and son is that Bum actually won 2 playoff games in 1978 and 1979 while Wade hasn't won anything. People in Houston loved Bum and he could get away with his eccentric style of dressing and Cowboy hat. If Wade did that today he would not only be laughed at by everyone, he would run out town.

[Aufreizen]

I miss the Oilers. They may be in Tennessee now but they'll always be the Oilers as far as I'm concerned.

[slvrangel4]

The Houston Texans suck. The Tennessee Titans/Oilers suck. Bring back the Houston Oilers.

[killaj53]

Houston Texans suck?

I believe suck means more losses then wins. In this case. Houston Texans are 5-3. what more can you ask for? you can't win 'em all.

[futureWestPointhero]

@slvrangel4 Wow the Texans are going to the playoffs this year and they were so close to it last year. The Titans are infested with gangsters and wannabee bastards but the Texans are on their way.

[machiiniiima]

@slvrangel4 titans dont suck. i like them becuase they wear throwback. but texans suck and their coach looks like a homo

[hoosierlooker]

The Oilers of the late 70's were a lot of fun. I remember when they beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Bum said the Cowboys maybe Americas Team but we're Texas' team and that's more important.

[ectigers83]

God Bless Coach O.A. "Bum" Phillips!  You were a Great One!
