God rest his soul. He was someone I would have loved to meet. He seemed almost to be a parody of himself, and seemed to enjoy it.

I was in Houston in 1978 and 1979. I was at the Astrodome on Monday night when the Oilers played the Steelers. Frank Gifford and Howard Cosell were in the broadcast booth, Earl Campbell, Bum Phillips and Terry Bradshaw were on the field. The golden age of Monday Night Football. The Oilers had already wrapped up the Wildcard but beat the Steelers in the fourth quarter. There was nothing like football in the Astrodome.

Sad news, but this was a life lived well.
There haven't been too many characters in the history of sports like this guy. A few things stand out from his career as an NFL coach:
1. The Stetson (of course).
2. The absent Stetson in the Astrodome ("My momma taught me never to wear a hat indoors").
3. Bringing an ice cream truck onto the field during sweltering hot days in training camp.
4. "Run the Bumerooski!"
5. "Every man block a man. Every good man block two!"
6. "There's two kinds of coaches: them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired."
7. "The Dallas Cowboys may be America's team, but the Houston Oilers are Texas' team."
8. Classic Earl Campbell Quote #1 (in response to a reporter's question about Campbell's difficulty completing a one-mile run during training camp): "When it's first and a mile, I won't give it to him."
9. Classic Earl Campbell Quote #2: "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."

Ah, that’s a shame. A real character back when Texas’s other NFL coach seemingly wore the same suit, tie, hat and expression for the better part of three decades. A real pity he never got to kick that door down.
To: Dysart
RIP
He was one of the reasons I love Texas. Never gave up even in the 1977-9 seasons..
