[
Oail Andrew “Bum” Phillips Jr., who spent half his adult life as a football coach and every waking moment as the personification of all things Texan, died Friday at his ranch in Goliad.

Phillips was three weeks past his 90th birthday and more than three decades removed from his heyday as head coach of the Oilers from 1975 through 1980. But he will be remembered as the personification of a time, a place and a team that remains deep in the hearts of everyone who saw them play.

Anyone who saw him coach would never forget him, one of a kind. RIP.

He never wore his cowboy hat inside an enclosed stadium because his mama said that a gentleman always removes his hat indoors.

Now, Bud Adams has passed -- age 90.
