REMEMBER: BUM IS A NICKNAME, NOT A DESCRIPTION.
Bum Phillips became head coach of the National Football Leagues
Houston Oilers in 1975. He retired from the league 10 years later
as one of its most colorful characters of all time. While fans of
Luv Ya Blue remember Phillips for his cowboy hat and boots, for his
down-home Texas yarns, most people dont know he survived deadly
battles during World War II, stumbled almost accidentally into
football and later gave his life, during a trip to prison, to Jesus
Christ. The book chronicles his transformation from a beer-drinking
cowboy, U.S. Marine and football coach to a devoted son of God.
The complete story of a pro football icon. In it, you will
learn:
Behind-the-scenes stories from his favorite NFL times. How a
small-town man ascended the ranks of high school, college and pro
football. Gripping accounts of his time during World War II. His
struggle to balance family life with NFL demands. How a trip to
prison catapulted this good ol boy into a faithful Christian.
He is a Bum - only in name. One of the most generous, loyal, and
caring individuals I have ever known in sport. He balanced
leadership and friendship better than anyone who ever stood on an
NFL sideline. We can all learn from him and his remarkable life.
Jim Nantz, Emmy Award-winning CBS Sports broadcaster
People go through life never having the chance to experience
special times and special people. I was lucky to have had the
opportunity to share all of this with Bum Phillips and I feel
blessed having done so. It is an honor to have shared my life with
him. Dan Pastorini, Former quarterback of the Houston Oilers
Bum Phillips book ] will be a blessing to you.He was a great
football coach as well as a mentor to hundreds of football players.
To me, his greatest accomplishment is the fact that he found the
Lord Jesus as his Saviour at age 76.God helped him to succeed in
his career because His graciousHand was upon him.Ilove you, Debbie
and Bum, and I salute you Dodie Osteen, Co-Founder of Houstons
