Broke my heart when they were intentionally hosed at Pittsburgh in 1979-1980. Oilers caught that ball, won that game. Loved the Bummer..loved the cowboy hat..Luv Ya Blue!




RIP. A great coach and MAN!!!!!! GREAT for the NFL back in the day.

Bum was born in the same place I was, Orange Texas. I was raised just across the Sabine in SW La.

Wade & I are the same age so we ran into each other occasionally at some social establishments near the Tx state line. The drinking age back in the mid '60s was very loosely enforced.

Bum was certainly a one of a kind coaching legend. His players universally loved playing for him.

RIP at that big ranch in the sky Bum
