The thing is, our offense HAS shown that it can run the 2 minute, and make a HUGE comeback (ravens, jets, and eagles games). But realize this
We shouldnt HAVE TO SCORE 28+ to barely win a game. IF your offense is putting up that amount and you arent winning..its clearly the D. We should put up 17 a game and win easily...But every game were forced to score at least 28 which is ridiculous. :kubepalm:

Bravo Bottom Line Bob, you have cracked the top 3 worst owners in the NFL with this crap. You are a joke and I hate you for what you are doing. I wish you'd die and your son Cal would take over. He can't be as big a moron as you. We are right there with the Bills as the biggest jokes in the NFL
I thought you were speaking of rubbage.
But if you're speaking of rummage. I'll have a Bacardi and diet Coke on the rocks please.
Here's a few thoughts I have if this is true. (some have been mentioned already)
1. No other interviews? Why do the Texans always do this? They just pick one guy who they think is the answer and go with him sight unseen.
2. If this happens, it will convince me that this whole thing was planed out weeks ago. McNair's endorsement after MNF and Bush out late drinking in Denver kinda make me think that McNair told Kubiak he was safe but he had to make a change at DC.
3. Would Phillips really come here if Kubiak's job is on the line next season? If the Texans end up at 5 or 6 wins again next year Kubiak will definitely be fired. (I think) What does that mean for Wade? 1 year here, and fired with Kubiak? That's a huge risk.4. A new DC probably won't be enough. They are going to have to aquire some serious talent, and quickly. The ultra conservative approach to trades, free agency, and risk taking will have to go out the window.
5. On that note, coaches usually bring players from their pas teams to their new ones. I wonder who Wade may try to bring in here.
Good point. Assuming the Phillips debacle goes thru, Ill be calling for lots of rummage.
That is without question the dumbest thing I have anyone say in along time. You with death upon a man because he makes poor FOOTBALL decisions. Never mind what kind of man Bob Mcnair and all the good he has done for this city through charities and the YMCA, but at the end of the day the only reason we have NFL football in this city is due to his 700 million dollar investment, It may be a bad product at this time but its NFL football! Have you ever stopped to think that you deserve a bad football team? No Houston, Not other fans, just you. Anyone who would wish death upon someone over sport in my opinion deserves far worse than a mediocre football team if karma has anything to say about it!
i think he backed off the die comment.
Now he's only wishing for a debilitating stroke or something. Lol
That's been the problem all along. For once, it would be nice for him to use his brain.
This is what frustrates me so much. There's been a lot of times this season where Schaub has taken us down the field and scored to tie/give us the lead. He CAN engineer that comeback and has. (I still don't like the inconsistent play). As much as people complain about our defense, I could care less about the "yards" we give up... we give up way too many POINTS. It's incredible. Not only giving those up but letting those teams score the go ahead TDs with less than a minute remaining.The thing is, our offense HAS shown that it can run the 2 minute, and make a HUGE comeback (ravens, jets, and eagles games). But realize this

Responses in red.Here's a few thoughts I have if this is true. (some have been mentioned already)
1. No other interviews? Why do the Texans always do this? They just pick one guy who they think is the answer and go with him sight unseen. Will be interesting if he's announced the DC quickly. I would like to see a few interviews even if Wade had been "guaranteed" the job. Not to sugarcoat anything but for Smith/McNair to be in contact with more people around the league. Get an idea how they like the other candidates if for nothing else a possible hire in the future. Hell who knows if Rick Smith could use the practice in interviewing. just a suggestion. In any event, I really believe Wade Phillips is the #1 candidate out there and probably the most coveted for a DC role.
2. If this happens, it will convince me that this whole thing was planed out weeks ago. McNair's endorsement after MNF and Bush out late drinking in Denver kinda make me think that McNair told Kubiak he was safe but he had to make a change at DC.Wouldn't surprise me.
3. Would Phillips really come here if Kubiak's job is on the line next season? If the Texans end up at 5 or 6 wins again next year Kubiak will definitely be fired. (I think) What does that mean for Wade? 1 year here, and fired with Kubiak? That's a huge risk.It wouldn't surprise me. I think he's familiar with the team and our circumstances whatever they may be. He knows we have had one of the top offenses in the league the last few years and our defense has been beyond suck. We've got talent, McNair/Smith have probably told him we're gonna get you some new players too. The potential for our defense to drastically improve is there and we could. The importance of the 2011 season and any failure should def. be a concern for Phillips, IMO. In the same sense, if he Kubiak were to leave and Wade were not to stick in Houston, his chances of finding a DC spot in the league next year are still there. I don't think his rep would be tarnished. I think the Houston gig here is just too good of an opportunity for him.
4. A new DC probably won't be enough. They are going to have to aquire some serious talent, and quickly. The ultra conservative approach to trades, free agency, and risk taking will have to go out the window.Totally agree. I WANT to believe McNair and Smith will be more willing to make some moves. Particularly getting a free agent CB like Champ Bailey in here.
5. On that note, coaches usually bring players from their past teams to their new ones. I wonder who Wade may try to bring in here.Marcus Spears is will be a FA and is familiar with Wade, obviously. I wonder if he could entice him to come. Could be a decent pickup to add to our depth , IMO. Mario, Antonio, Spears, Anderson and Barwin. He would really help if Wade wants to run a hybrid 4-3, 3-4 kind of system. or at least do a little bit of both schemes... or eventually transition over full time.
This franchise is a ****ing joke, except the only people that get to enjoy the punchline are our divisional rivals and other NFL fans. I can't believe there's another poster who actually created a thread criticizing other fans for making the decision to pull the plug on their PSLs with decisions like this, especially with the economy we currently live it.
I can totally see that being the case. I do have a question in regards to Rick Smith though. How much involvement does he have with the players? I mean other than being a part of the draft/free agency bit and in on negotiating their contracts/extensions.... does he have any involvement? You see him on the sidelines at practice and all, but I would think that friction between a player and GM isn't that uncommon.Okay. So I'm at work and for fear of losing my job, I cannot go to specifics because this former player is a client. However, I just got through talking with a former Texan player. The meat and potatos of what he said was that, the organization is pretty much in a state of confusion and primarily it is because of the major egos that are around that organization. He told me he couldn't speculate because he's no longer on the team but he said that the team let alot of decent DBs go for a younger group and that in this league there is no way that you can take that kind of gamble. He also stated that this was a move they were starting to make as of last year and even going back to 2008.
Now he was probably even more bland in his conversation, being very careful with his words so take that for what it is worth. However his comments lead me to believe that players like Kubiak but the real issue in all of this could be Rick Smith. The Dunta situation is screaming all over this. When you go back and see how he didn't back down from his side of the story and he gets a one way ticket out of here and how OD and Demeco were the same and then all of a sudden decided to keep their mouth shut, you begin to wonder why.
Like I said, I'm speculating on a former players speculation so don't quote any of this. That player could just be bitter also. Please don't ask me what player because I will not tell you. Most on this board know that I'm a Christian man and I have no reason to lie on this. I can tell you this player did play with us during the 07 and 08 season and I believe he was cut in preseason of 09.
Some people love this team good or bad, accept it.
I already have accepted that people are going to jump ship.
The break over point is scoring 20 pts gives you a 50-50 chance of winning. 28 pts and the odds go down to about 25%.
The Texans had to score 30 + to win this yr. The odds of winning are about 15 %. It's actually amazing that they've won 5 games this yr.
Funny. I always thought he was thinking out of his ass. To me, the toes would be "on the right track".
On another note, does anyone have any word on why Parcells came to Houston? Did he come to advise Mcnair or something?
Man, I actually like listening to VanDerMeer and Lopez in the mornings via 610 online at work......but jeez Marc is pissing me off today.
Now that it seems apparant that Kubiak is staying and we will be adding Phillips...I can't help but think Marc is actually excited about this.
This is a joke. Absolute bullshit.:kubepalm:
(PS I realize Marc is just a puppet for McNair but still......just mind numbing)
yeah. Vanderhomer was in rare form this morning. what pisses me off about this whole scenario is that there are proven hcs out there looking for jobs (cowher and gruden) and we have an opportunity to grab one of them. However, due to this town's idiotic obsession with home town heros, the 49ers or maybe the vikings will make the playoffs before we do.

Is Vandermeer talking like this is a done deal or is he responding to the speculation?
Either way, this speaks volumes coming from the organization's mouthpiece.

I guess I'm in the minority but I don't hate this decision. I'd rather have Kubiak gone but Phillips has proven he's a pretty damn good defensive coordinator. I'd rather have him as our DC under a different head coach but that seems unlikely now
None of this matters if Bob doesn't open up the damn checkbook and sign some good players
Not necessarily doing good but we ARE on the right track...

ha! I just was in the car listening to 610 around 8:30 and must have heard some of the same stuff you heard. It was pretty bad.
I'll say it again, only switching out the dc or personnel on the defensive coaching staff will not be enough. Smithiak needs to be broken up or removed altogether.
Let 'em jump ship if that's what they want. I really don't define my fanship of the Texans by what others think. If they are drinking kool-aid, fine, if they hate the world and the Texans as well, fine. I'm going to be here cheering for the Texans as long as I breathe.
Doesn't mean I won't be mixing in some bitching about things while I'm cheering them on though.
For the record, I don't like keeping Kubiak and bringing in Wade Phillips as DC. I know Phillips will improve the defense, but that's not the point. I don't want Kubiak back here next year. But, if we get another year of him, if won't change the fact I'll still be rooting for the Texans to win, just like I'll be doing this coming Sunday. I want them to win, and I don't give a rat's ass if it messes up our draft placement.
...becomes a real NFL head coach. And not a menu-toting, meek hermit as he is every freakin' Sunday.I can get behind Kubiak. So long as he changes some things, like...
This might make me start drinking again.I'll have a Bacardi and diet Coke on the rocks please.
Glad to see you back, swisher.All I can do as a Texans fan is support my team, even if I disagree with the direction they're taking. I don't have season tickets, so I don't have that moral dilemma of pouring more money into this black hole.
If Parcells could be hired as team president, to completely oversee football operations, then I could stomach another Kubiak year. I know Parcells has the nads to cut bait on Kubiak if/when he fails again. This organization needs a Parcells in the worst way.McNair and Parcells are old HORSE buddies. They get together quite often. He did speculate that Parcells could be brought in as a consultant on "decisions and operations."
So there is still at least a shimmer of hope that Kubiak will be fired? If this whole Wade thing comes true Cowboy fans will eat us alive. Now we have two marshmallow coaches patroling our sidelines and one of them is a Cowboys reject.
It was Barry Warner on 610 that revealed a very little known fact. McNair and Parcells are old HORSE buddies. They get together quite often. He did speculate that Parcells could be brought in as a consultant on "decisions and operations."
I can totally see that being the case. I do have a question in regards to Rick Smith though. How much involvement does he have with the players?
