Very interesting. The page I referenced when I googled "Bum Phillips Quotes" is http://www.coachqte.com/phillips.html . Also, the reference in Wikipedia naming Don Shula was not there, because I read that page also, at the time. Did you add that by any chance?
I did find another page that referenced Shula. Bum could have certainly used the same quote describing different coaches that he admired.
Chronologically, he probably said it about Bryant first, then Shula. I can't say I absolutely remember him saying it about Bryant, but it seems like it. I was absolutely sure he wasn't talking about himself.

Don't remember him saying that about the Bear, only Shula. It was referring to the fact that Shula went from a run 1st coach to a pass happy coach. Shula was not about a system, he formed his playbook to fit his players.
