McClain's latest regurgitation: Kubiak remains Texans Head Coach

Apples and roadmaps
McClain initially expected Kubiak to get fired immediately after the team's Week 16 loss to the Broncos. He now believes that owner Bob McNair will announce Kubiak's return next Monday. One of the conditions will be that Kubiak overhaul his entire defensive coaching staff.

And there you have it. What it all comes down to: "McNair loves Kubiak." What better reason to keep a coach?

Related: What this may say about the owners' outlook on the CBA. Offseason firings indicate more about that than anything.
 
You really put that much faith into what McLain thinks?
 
When I was coming back from lunch not too long ago, a lady in the elevator who works in my office, whom I never thought would ever follow football, turned to me and said, "Houstonspartan, the Texans act as if they're afraid of Kubiak or something."

I laughed and said, "Yeah, I really think they are. For some reason, this guy has this team in his hands."

If true

Uncle Bob's love for Kubiak knows no bounds.

He's willing to put that love for Kubiak above the betterment of the franchise.

Either that or he doesn't want to pay 2 coaching staffs during the lockout. Unlike the Cowboys,Vikings,SF etc...
 
Still waiting on the rumor that the entire staff and GM are fired... Looks like these rumors are going in the wrong direction. Come on Monday.
 
What makes Uncle Bob think that they won't whiff on DC and the rest of the coaching staff again? Besides, it was Kubiak who OK'd going with a Def backfield with 2 years combined experience in the first place.

That may have been Rick Smith's call. He is the supposed expert talent evaluator with a background in db's.
 
I've never bashed McClain before, but this is the most wishy washy reporting I've ever seen. Everyday it's a different story from him. I think his predictions have as much merit as any of ours on this MB.

The only other time he really frustrated me was during his push for VY. This back and forth dance on his part is simply amazing - but I do think someone "in the know" let him know that his previous reporting was false. Not looking good for the change some of us were hoping for...
 
Okay, if we assume Gary Kubiak will be given one final shot at taking this team to the playoffs, is there anyway we can get Leslie Fraizer to come down here as our defensive coordinator?

I doubt the Vikings will give him a shot at the HC position in Minnesota so if we could get him to come here, he would be a major upgrade over Frank Bush and improve our rush defense since his Vikings team does relatively well in that category.

I think he won that HC job with last night's impressive victory over the Eagles...

Seems to be a running theme these days, no?

But that's the thing - he keeps repeating it is only his opinion - he has no sources. So not sure why he has a job or anyone should care?
 
The fans need to make a statement Sunday that the return of the Kubiak-Smith regime of ultimate FAIL is completely UNACCEPTABLE. I know the Fire Kubiak rally will happen before the game but there needs to be fan protest DURING THE GAME. I will do whatever is necessary to make my voice heard loud and clear.
 
McNair loved David Carr too and see where that got him.

All of this McNair keeping people around or hiring them because he likes them is going too far IF that indeed happens. You just CANNOT be pals with your employees.

Even Kubiak knows he should be fired. You can see it in his face. I wish the dude would just resign since it appears McNair may not have the nads to do it himself.

Unfortunately it looks like the Texans have soft ownership and teams always reflect ownership.

Prediction: The Texans beat the Jags on Sunday because their version of Rusty Smith is playing QB. Then McNair will say the season ended on a high note and the team is heading in the right direction ... blah blah blah. He then praises Kubiak for the effort and brings him back. He then brings in another softee in Wade Phillips and everything is all marshmallows and rainbows heading into the next season.
 
Wade Phillips

I don't really like that match for our defense. He's a 3-4 guy and while we have most of the personnel for a 3-4 that would completely shaft Mario.

I hate doing this to him but Mario could be traded for draft picks and or personnel that can fit a 3-4 scheme.

I think Fraizer will keep his job and wish him the best of luck. He deserves a chance and his team seems to like him.

I thought he meant to do that with some underlying VY message.

And the new thread title is much more appropriate.
 
Prediction: McNair will likely relieve Kubiak of head coaching duties even if the Texans win on Sunday against the Jaguars

He's pretty much already has the job sowed up.
 
Good im kinda glad now with the money we safe we should pluck some players from F/A and have a good draft


SO lets start to talk about the Draft what should we get with our #1 pick ???
 
I listen to sports talk on my drive home but I hate hearing McClain talk because I get the impression from him that if anyone disagrees with his opinion they are stupid. He is constantly saying the fans are wrong and that he knows right because he has been doing this for years and he has inside sources.

What do you suggest?

Kubiak signs off on all personel moves made by the team.

Do you think he is picking the defensive players himself? I know he signs off on them, and as HC he bears responsibility, but doesn't the GM also? One of the reasons Smith was recommended Is because he is supposed to be a great talent evaluator.

I see Kubiak and Smith as a package deal which is why I want both of them gone. Like i said in another thread, keeping Kubiak and/or Smith is like polishing a turd.

Mario would make a good 3-4 defensive end ala Bruce Smith. He has the strength and power game to excel.

Just wait until the draft. He flip flops every 10 minutes so he can say he was right.
 
I will say though that if 1 absolutely had to stay, I would pick Kubiak. Rick Smith brings absolutely nothing to the table for this organization.
 
Wade Phillips isn't an easy fix. As a Cowboy fan his defense was highly suspect this year and regressed greatly with more talent than the Texans have. In fact many players dropped off. I just don't really get how this fixes the Kubiak problem. It is HIS issues causing the team to play like this. I'm not sure how that can't be anymore clear.

Much less....we don't have nearly the AGENDA he often does. We don't have to keep on the "good side" of the Texans Mgmt.

If we go 3-4, count on it. I'd hate it, but Mario isn't built for the 3-4.

The most ironic thing is that he belittles the caller...I mean, how can THEY possibly know more than the all-famous, movie-starring, tall tale telling John McClain....then reverses himself weeks down the road and starts saying the same things the caller did and acting like HE suddenly came upon this information.
