True -- but I don't think he was ever out-coached on the field. The Oilers simply didn't have as much talent as a lot of other teams when he was coaching them. Other than Dan Pastorini, I can't even remember who else played QB on those "Luv Ya Blue" teams.

Bum Phillips was the most entertaining NFL head coach of his generation. LOL.

P.S. -- Houston did get robbed of a game-tying TD in that 1980 AFC championship game against Pittsburgh on the infamous blown call of the Mike Renfro TD catch.

Does the name Earl Campbell ring a bell?

FWIW, I was living in Houston and a huge Oilers fan back then.
