Coach Phillips On Not Pointing Fingers

Coach Bum Phillips was a very candid man. He lead some great teams of the Houston Oilers in the 1970s riding the wave of success and some failures. Rarely did he have a poor remark about anyone.

"You fail all the time, but you aren't a failure until you start blaming someone else. "

Here is more on this legend of the sideline....

Bum Phillips

Born September 29, 1923, in Orange, Texas, was legendary Pr Football Head Coach, Oail Andrew Bum Phillips. Bum served as head coach in the National Football League (NFL) for the Houston Oilers from 1975 to 1980 and the New Orleans Saints from 1981 to 1985. Phillips served as the defensive assistant coach for the San Diego Chargers under Sid Gillman. Gillman later became head coach of the Houston Oilers, and he brought Phillips with him as his defensive coordinator.

Phillips took over as the head coach of the Oilers on January 25, 1975. Under Phillips, the Oilers reached the AFC Championship Game in two consecutive seasons, losing to the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers 34–5 in 1978 and 27–13 in 1979.
