The DUMBEST QUARTERBACK CONTROVERSY in Houston Oilers HISTORY | 1982 Oilers

During the 1982 NFL season, the Houston Oilers had a quarterback controversy between Archie Manning and Gifford Nielsen. And head coach Ed Biles decided to address the controversy in literally the stupidest way imaginable, where he flat out lied to Manning's face about what his plan was. This is the story behind the QB controversy of the 1982 Oilers

[@donparisheo]

Ed Biles got the head coach position by betraying Bum Phillips. Bum viewed Biles as a friend and used to pick him up in his truck to drive to work together. Bum openly discussed football matters with Biles under the impression that it was in confidence. However unbeknownst to Bum Biles would give owner Bud Adams the play by play of what Bum said to him. He told Bud Adams the team lacked discipline and Bum allowed the players to run amok. After the '80 playoff loss wild card round to the Raiders Bum told Biles that Bud wants him to hire an offensive coordinator. Bum informed Biles that he's going to tell Bud Adams that he can fire him if he won't accept his decision not to. Bum said that he knew Bud Adams wouldn't fire him after the recent success and coming so close to getting to the Super Bowl. Biles called Bud Adams and told him what Bum said and Bum told the owner exactly what he said he would and Bud surprised him by actually firing him. Bum told Bud Adams this quote. " I told you the day you hired me I'll shake your hand and the day you fire me I'll shake your hand and thank you for the opportunity. " Bum thanked Bud walked out the door and when he got to his truck he began to cry. Those weren't the only tears flowing in Houston once this awful new years news spread. Ed Biles set the Oilers franchise back with his inept approach to coaching.

As a kid I absolutely despised Adam's after trading Pastorini and firing Phillips. But Pastorini requested a trade a year earlier (in the post flight heat of a playoff loss). Phillips talked him into staying another year. Unfortunately, the same discussion occurred again in 79 under the same circumstances and Phillips and Pastorini were too stubborn to break their promise from 78. Pretty sure both would have been gone after 81 at the latest. Pastorini was too beaten up from those atrocious teams of the early to mid 70s, and Phillips had let that whole team just age with hardly any influx of youth. But damn, Ed Biles? I think O -line coach Joe Bugel would have a much better choice.

[@chucklynch6523]

As a young college student I attended the exhibition game in August 1972 between the Bears and Oilers at the Astrodome and watched Lynn Dickey literally tear the Bears defense to pieces with long touchdown passes to Ken Burrough and Charlie Joiner. I always thought Dickey would have been a better choice as starter in the 70's than Pastorini. Just my opinion, but Lynn did very well with the Packers years later.

[@jeffstricken8549]

Yeah, Pastorini was overrated.

[@biffmarcum5014]

Some details on 1982, many of the Oilers had jumped ship to play for Bum in New Orleans. Leon Gray was unsigned and would not play for Houston thus the trade to New Orleans. There was a ton turnover from last Houston playoff team. While this video spends a lot of time questioning anything Ed Biles did, remember Houston had an offensive coordinator, the whole reason Ed Biles was coach. How much of the quarterback controversy was due to Shofner? In the end they would go through several quarterbacks including Oliver Luck who's son later would be pretty damn good qb, however he was not. This of course would lead to Warren Moon in a couple of years. Ed Biles was not a good Head Coach, but he was not the worst. I would have to give it to Sid Gillman, especially since he signed off on the Kenny Houston trade to Washington for a bunch of nobodies(not totally true, Mack Alston was a decent TE but hardly worth a Hall of Famer). In '72 Coach Peterson led the team to a 1-13 record, but the team had a fairly good defense. In 73 under Gillman, the team also went 1-13 and were light years worse.

[@whataboutrob442]

1980s NFL was a completely different game. I remember this time period as of course you couldn't because you are too young. Does the name Don Shula ring a bell? Well he was using 2 quarterbacks, and doing very well in the early 80s. Matter of fact 2 division titles, and went to the Superbowl in 1982.

Basically the same team,no free agency back then. He also said of Bum Phillips " Sometimes human nature will let us dog it once in a while, but for a man like Bum Phillips, I found myself trying a little harder." Eddie Biles lied to Tatum too, saying he couldn't start him because of his physical style, when he was actually contractually obligated to start Mike Renfro. Known for being full of BS. Even as a Raider fan, I miss the old Houston Oilers and still like the Tennessee Titans.

Am I mistaken, or was that Oliver "Rotten" Luck walking around in Manning's vicinity in a bunch of those sideline shots?

Bud Adams may have known about Business but not about hiring coaches.

poor arch was near the end playing for yet another losing team as he missed the playoffs once again never seeing a playoff game. and gifford neilson was another of the lavell edwards productive byu qb's of the '70's-'80s that didn't translate to nfl success. and bud adams still SUCKS.

I was an 11 year old Saints fan at this time. Except for a 7-9 and 8-8 season I never had much to root for. After the 8-8 season, the next year was really thought to be finally the year the Saints would break through! We gonna have a winning record and finally might make the Playoffs. Our defense wasn’t very good, but our offense led by Archie Manning with support from Wes Chandler, Chuck Muncie, and Tony Galbreth was something else! That year came, and out came the paper bags. 1-15! Chuck Muncie gone. We hire Bum Phillips. 1st pick of the draft we take George Rodgers, what if we would have taken Lawrence Taylor instead? 1st pick of the 2nd round we take my All-time favorite New Orleans Saints defensive player Rickey Jackson! Forget about Pat Swilling who came along a little later, think about what kind of killer outside linebacker combo the Saints could of had with Taylor and Jackson. As a long suffering Saints fan, it’s a great what ifs! First Bum Phillips year, 4-12. Which was a vast improvement. George Rodgers had over 1600 yards rushing, Bum had to get his Earl clone. Disappointing for me was he traded away Wes Chandler and Tony Galbreath. But, I kind of liked this vastly improved defense. The Strike Year! We sign washed up Kenny Stabler. I loved the guy. One of the most original characters that’s ever played in the NFL and after years of being long overdue finally got elected to the Hall of Fame for the Great Quarterback he was with the Oakland Raiders. Things changed when he got to the Oilers. And I didn’t want him on my Saints! My quarterback was Archie Manning! Broke my heart when I got home from school and my dad told me Bum traded Archie to Houston for Leon Grey, who I might add made most of his Pro Bowls with New England and not Houston and aside from Stabler had already seen his better days. But was a sign of things to come. Bum replaced George Rodgers with washed up Earl…………… But, the one thing I will say. Bum Phillips does not get enough credit for building the Linebacking Corp, that became known as the Dome Patrol. He screwed up the Saints in a lot of ways, but he did do that.

One day its gonna come out... that Bradshaw threw 3 games that year in 1982 for money to a certain popular Bookie.. 9-10 to Cleveland and both shutout losses to Seattle and Buffalo. Other than those games the Steelers were dominating that year offense and defense... so I guess he felt he could throw a couple or a few for some extra bucks or something. There has been some noise made it about it recently.. but nothing that that has caught fire yet.

[@matthewdaley746]

Not, sure about that, but, "The, Strike," meant, that his demise, (which, actually, began, in, 1980), never, got the chance to be revealed, and, he stole, one, last, paycheck, played, one, last, Game, and, the Steelers would, lose, Dan Marino.

Vile Ed Biles.

[@Rockhound6165]

Biles proved himself a bigger idiot in the draft the next season. First they traded the #2 overall pick to Seattle(who subsequently traded the pick to the Rams who drafted Eric Dickerson) but then took offensive tackle Bruce Matthews with their pick and while Matthews was a hall of famer, they still could have drafted Jim Kelly which IIRC was talked about. However, they did get Warren Moon the following season and the rest is history.
