Phillips Fired by Oilers After Seven-Year Run
Bud Adams dismissed Oiler head coach Bum Phillips, citing his refusal to hire an offensive coordinator. Phillips, who joined Houston in 1974 and led the team since 1975, lamented the short notice and noted a contract worth an estimated 120000 to 150000 dollars per year. The firing followed a wild card playoff loss to Oakland. In a separate NCAA action, Arizona State football received a two year probation and bowl ineligibility through 1981-82 due to program violations.
