Oilers name Ed Biles head coach after Bum Phillips firing

Houston Oilers promote defensive coordinator Ed Biles to head coach after firing Bum Phillips over offense coordinator disputes. Biles says he will coach on both sides of the line and plans to hire an offensive coordinator to add balance, with Earl Campbell remaining a key part of the offense. The team finished 11-5 and lost in the first round to Oakland.
