    THE LOOKMAN REPORT 2013 Week Eight – Halftime "That Don Shula’s a helluva coach. He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n." "Sid, you must not be doing it right." - in response to Sid Gillman telling him that breaking down film was better than sex. “Two kinds of ballplayers aren't worth a darn: One that never does what he's told, and one who does nothin' except what he's told. “ – The late Oilers and Saints head coach Bum Phillips PROLOGUE The NFL lost an icon a few weeks ago in Oail Andrew "Bum" Phillips. Phillips built a solid career in Houston and New Orleans, and his trademark cowboy hat and ostrich skinned blue boots belied his colorful nature. Bum never wore that ten gallon hat in domed facilities; his mother taught him it was disrespectful to wear a hat indoors. Phillips began his career in the 1950s as a high school coach in Texas. He was hired a decade later as a defensive assistant for San Diego by offensive innovator Sid Gillman. When Gillman became head coach at Houston in the early 70s, he brought Phillips with him. Bum became head coach and GM in 1975, and became the most successful coach in franchise history with a 59-38 record. Phillips won games in physical style behind a solid running game and tough defense. He used battering ram Earl Campbell to wear down the defense with punishing runs followed by play action passing. Many believe he is responsible for Campbell’s physical deterioration, but Phillips was an old school football coach.

  • Texas Sports Hall of Fame
    Texas Sports Hall of Fame The Texas Sports Hall of Fame was organized in 1951 by the Texas Sports Writers Association. Each year the honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame at a gala dinner. (The second such fete in 1952 was headlined by, “That filmland athlete, Ronald Reagan, and his actress wife, Nancy Davis,” The Dallas Morning News, June 9, 1952.) The hall was originally in Grand Prairie in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Hall of Fame was closed in 1986 for financial reasons, but in 1991 it was reopened in Waco. In addition to memorabilia, the new location also houses archives. Under the current selection process, dues-paying members of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame can nominate any number of individuals. (Anyone can become a member.) The selection committee, chaired by Dave Campbell, founder of Texas Football Magazine, reviews all nominees and creates the “Official Voting Membership” ballot. Ballots are then mailed to the voting membership, former Texas Sports Hall of Fame inductees and the media selection committee. The results of the balloting are announced in the fall with the induction banquet following in the winter. The hall of fame website is at www.tshof.org.

  • Archie Manning, Quarterback New Orleans Saints (1971-82); Houston Oilers (82-83); Minnesota Vikings (83-84) March 25, 2002
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 25, No. 1 (2003) Archie Manning, Quarterback New Orleans Saints (1971-82); Houston Oilers (82-83); Minnesota Vikings (83-84) March 25, 2002 By Thomas Danyluk I admit it. I didn’t want to do it. After Archie Manning agreed to give an interview for this project and I dug into the whole research process, it didn’t take long before things got way too depressing. It had been quite a while since I sifted through any Saints stats from the 1970s, but motivation dropped way out of sight in a hurry. No mid-December contests to relive when the stakes were high. No playoff games to revisit. No championship seasons. Just a whole bayou full of losing. Too much losing. Too many thirds-and fourteen, year after year after year. Here’s a sample of the mess that really belongs buried somewhere in a sealed underground vault. • 1971 Saints, Manning’s rookie year: 4-8-2. Last place in the NFC West. Seven penalties per game are the most in the league and yield almost 1000 bonus yards to New Orleans’ opponents. XXX • 1972 Saints: 2-11-1. Last place. Leading rusher in New Orleans? Running back Bob Gresham with 381 yards. You don’t want to know the runner-up performance at RB. Well, maybe you do. Fullback Bill Butler dutifully kicked in 233. Only five rushing touchdowns all season as a team. • 1975 Saints: 2-12. Last place again. Manning tosses 20 picks and 7 lonely touchdowns, while the offense averages barely 12 points per game and scores over 20 only twice.
