Re: Bum Philips Passes at Age 90
lets set the record straight
Phillips couldn't replicate the same success in New Orleans after being fired by the Oilers after the 1980 season. He never guided the Saints to a winning record going 27-42 in New Orleans, but Phillips did help put together one of the best draft classes in Saints history in 1981 by selecting players like Rickey Jackson, George Rogers, Frank Warren, Hoby Brenner, Jim Wilks and Hokie Gajan. Former New Orleans Saints coach Bum Phillips dies at 90 | NOLA.com saints - 1981–1985 1981 George Rogers RB Russell Gary DB Rickey Jackson LB Frank Warren DE Hoby Brenner TE Johnnie Poe DB Glen Redd LB Hokie Gajan RB Jim Wilks DE 1982 Lindsay Scott WR (Had to leave his all time bust pick in ) Brad Edelman G Morten Andersen K Tony Elliot NT 1983 Steve Korte C John Tice TE 1984 Jumpy Geathers DE Terry Hoage DB Joel Hilgenberg C Brian Hansen P 1985 Jim Dombrowski G Dalton Hilliard RB Rueben Mayes RB Pat Swilling LB Gill Fenerty RB Pat Swoopes NT 1986 was the Jim Mora era Ok he built the house Mora lived and thrived in. that is simple to see. So give credit were credit is due! He was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Archie got hosed and sent to Houston and we got Kenny the Snake Stabler in return. Now any one alive during that time period has to admit Kenny was very creative at losing a game and many fans suspected it was point spread driven. This to me is the biggest blemish in his time here. Rest in peace Bum and i will always remember you for the laughs and the team you helped build here. Oh yeah it took me a year to figure out Kenny and my wallet says thanks for keeping him as long as you did ![]() |
