Bum Phillips quotes
69's favorite isn't shown, but looked at two blogs that had some gems. Hope some here have others.
There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired.
(referring to Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula) "He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n
(when asked about Oilers RB Earl Campbell's inability to finish a one-mile run in training camp) "When it's first and a mile, I won't give it to him."
of Earl Campbell) "I don't know if he's in a class by himself, but I do know that when that class gets together, it sure don't take long to call the roll."
Bum Phillips in response to Sid Gillman telling him that breaking down film was better than sex: "Sid, you must not be doing it right."
"You fail all the time, but you aren't a failure untilyou start blaming someone else."
Two kinds of players ain't worth a damn: One never does what he's told, and one who does nothin' but what he's told."
Bum Phillips' classic #Wonderlic quote - "Yeah, that test says he's dumb as a fence post, but when he hits he looks like Einstein to me."
Said Bum Phillips: "Coaching is not how much you know. It's how much you can get players to do."

RE: Bum Phillips quotes
I listened to part of the memorial service last night on the radio. Mike Barber went to visit him a month or so ago and said, "Coach, it's good to see you." To which Bum replied, "It's better to be seen than viewed."
