    Not only that, but that quote has been attributed to multiple people as well. Legendary FAMU coach Jake Gaither also supposedly said that of Bryant.

    Sees nothing wrong with "bum" in front of "bum"

    But really, although he was before my time, he was — and probably still is — my dad's favorite coach. When they couldn't get over the hump against the Steelers, I have a feeling it broke his Houston sports optimism. But the more I read about Bum, the more I wish I had gotten to be around during those days.

    RIP to a Houston legend.

    Stabler once said the Oilers consumed so much Budweiser at training camp, it was renamed Bumweiser.

    RIP to a true character and pretty darn good ball coach.

    Charismatic who came along for the right team at the right time.

    Besides, can anyone picture Bum wearing Reebok or Nike gear in lieu of the 10-gallon hat and cowboy boots?
