Houston Texans head coach Wade Phillips lost his father Bum who died @ the age of 90.

Bum was the head of the (then) Houston Oilers from 1974-80, then moved to the New Orleans Sints from 1980-1985. He got reunited wth Earl Campbell when he went 350 miles east along I-10 to play wth the Saints.

He coached the team into two straight AFC Championship games, losing twice to "The Devil Team" (Pittsburgh Steelers).

This was their fight song during the Luv Ya Blue Era. In his memory.
