Exclamation Bum and Bud....gone
Both Bum Phillips and Bud Adams have died.

Houston Oilers fans will have memories of both, some better than others. Bud Started the Oilers franchise back in the 60's old AFL. Lter merged with the NFL. Later moved them to Nashville where they became the Titans of Tennessee.

Bum, well, what can you say. Not many more colorful type head coaches out there.

RIP, guys.

RE: Bum and Bud....gone
One thing that is very interesting about the timing is both Houston and Tennessee are off this upcoming weekend.

Houston is at home on 11/3 vs Indianapolis.
Tennessee doesn't play at home again until 11/10 vs Jacksonville

so especially for the Titans, they'll have some time to prepare a tribute.

I'm curious to see what the Titans do to show their thanks to both men who helped form the franchise before it came to Nashville...

How about straight up swapping it back with the Texans franchise name, colors and history (they can keep the respective players where they are) so the Oilers could return to Houston? Never happen, but still...

(and could someone please give Nashville an MLB team? Hello, St. Pete (I mean Tampa) Rays?

I was in love with the Warren Moon era Oilers... one of my favorite teams to watch. I really enjoyed the McNair/George era as the Titans. Of course ECU's own Chris Johnson was blowing it up for the Titans.
