Oail Andrew "Bum" Phillips, (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/20/sports/football/bum-phillips-colorful-football-coach-dies-at-90.html?_r=0) 90.
I know it's trite to wistfully remark that "they don't make 'em like that anymore", but it's true in this case. The guy stalked the sidelines dressed as a goddamn cowboy for crying out loud.
Some really choice quotes:
"Two kinds of players ain't worth a damn: One never does what he's told, and one who does nothin' but what he's told"
(On RB Earl Campbell's inability to finish a 1-mile run) "When it's 1st and a mile, I won't give it to him."
(Re: player who scored low on the Wonderlic): "Yeah, that test says he's dumb as a fence post, but when he hits he looks like Einstein to me."
"You fail all the time, but you aren't a failure until you start blaming someone else."
(In response to Sid Gillman telling him that breaking down film was better than sex) "Sid, you must not be doing it right."
Kicking The Pearly Gates Down.
Love ya, Death!
My personal favorite:
On Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula: "He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n."

(On Warren Moon's ARMCOCK): "That boy could throw a football through a car wash and not get it wet."
