HOUSTON — Bum Phillips, the folksy Texas football icon who coached the Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints, died Friday. He was 90.
“Bum is gone to Heaven,” son Wade Phillips tweeted Friday night. “Loved and will be missed by all — great Dad, Coach, and Christian.”
Phillips died at his home in Goliad.
Wade Phillips is the Houston Texans’ defensive coordinator.
I heard when he died he was trying to raise money to build a home for deaf children on his ranch. RIP

Bum was such a character that it could be easy to forget what a great coach he was. RIP.
Couldn't agree more.
RIP. Thought his ranch was closer to Beeville tbh.
A real Cowboy coaching a Houston team, how cool was that? In his book...Bear...Paul "Bear" Bryant talks about Bum Phillips being a great guy and coach.
