I agree there have been some coaching snafus made, I agree that some of those appear to have been stubbornly made again, & again, & again.
I agree that Kubiak isn't the best HC in the league. But I think he has more upside than any KC candidate out there.
I understand not accepting mediocrity, I understand demanding excellence, & I understand, and believe Kubiak needs to feel a little heat.
I'm not going to make any excuses for him, I'm not going to paint our eminant 3rd 8-8 season in a row as a positive...
I'm just going to say I think he has done more good than not, I like what he's doing overall, & I would like to see another year of it, at least.
Holy crap. Are you kidding me?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
This past game was a Kubiak Master Class in Keystone Coppery. There were bone-headed plays called all game, with the HB pass being the cherry on top. He CONSISTENTLY goes for low-percentage "I'm smarterer than you" plays when better decisions could be made, and he's done it in scoring situations. In MUST SCORE situations.
I'll take you back to last year's Oakland game, when he didn't try to punch the ball in with the ball on the one yard line and a TD needed to win. Against OAKLAND. He called, I believe, two or three PASSING plays instead of the smarter play and we lost that game. In true Texans fashion.
It was after that game that I decided, once and for all, that what I had been feeling all last season was in fact correct, and a coaching change needed to be made. That was after LAST season.
But only NOW are people finally catching on. And you're kidding me with your contrarian view. Do you honestly believe Kubiak is GOOD for this team or are you trying to be Richard Justice/Skip Bayless and just say the opposite of reality to create controversy and revel in your self-made publicity?
My points about why a coaching change needed to be made last year still stick this year:
1. Boneheaded game-time decisions.
2. Poor challenges
3. Cannot properly prepare his teams for gameday.
4. Lack of fire/heart of this team starts with the coach.
5. Lackadaisical clock management in crunch time...it shows in the lack of urgency on the field
And this season, Kubiak adds to my list:
1. No trust in letting Schaub audible and change plays.
2. Consistent inability to learn from past mistakes...how many seasons of low-percentage playcalling does he need to learn it DOESN'T WORK?!
3. Attachment to a player like Chris Brown that isn't warranted by any, ANY, proof of on-field ability and accomplishment.
Anyone that is still on the "give Kubiak ONE MORE YEAR" is smoking crack. Like, literally. Smoking the crack rock. Unless you think mediocre, tepid coaching, attitude and preparation is NOT indicative of what the future would hold for another year under Kubiak.
Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is insane. This team and McNair loses my support if Kubiak is back next year. Not that I don't love football and am not a true fan, but because I can't stand behind stupid, moronic, illogical decisions any more than I can allow McNair to treat me like a mouth-breathing die-hard sycophant.
Fire Kubiak and staff. We cannot afford or endure another season of fail when the writing has been on the wall for years...FOR YEARS...that Kubiak is not head coach material. He simply isn't, not for this team.
