Look out football, here we come,

Houston Oilers, number one.
Houston has the Oilers, the greatest football team.
We take the ball from goal to goal like no one’s ever seen.
We’re in the air, we’re on the ground ... always in control
And when you say the Oilers, you’re talking Super Bowl.

‘Cause we’re the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One.
Yes, we’re the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One.

We’ve got the offense.
We’ve got the defense.
We give the other team no hope. ‘Cause we’re the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers,
You know we’re gonna hold the rope.

He had some great teams with the Oilers, featuring one Earl Campbell . Unfortunately Pittsburgh was at its best then and the Oilers couldn’t get past them.

RIP Bum.

Great coach....great man. He really resurrected a bad Oilers franchise in the mid 70s. He managed to grow a fanbase for the Oilers at the same time Dallas Cowboys were in their prime

His biggest win had to be the 1979 playoff game at San Diego when both Earl Campbell and Dan Pastorini were out due to injury. No one thought the Oilers would win

Always liked Bum and the Oilers. He was a class act.
They had a great, underrated QB. Was also their punter.
Dan Pastorini.
