You're entitled to your opinion, interesting story about your boss, only difference being your boss had incentives to 'come back' ... Kubiak did not; he had guranteed money no matter what and he still worked 18 hour days, and then you have Bill Obrien getting a 5 year extension after a 4-12 season? Lame.
My frustration with the topic is the redundancy in cherry picked data and revisionist history. You're jumping into the fray after people have already reached their boiling point (myself definitely) and im fine letting it die .. as long as those Obrien supporters dont rehash it with some stupid comment or comparison between the two because there is no comparison. Gary Kubiak is by far a better coach than Bill Obrien BY FAR NOT EVEN CLOSE end of story there is no debating that, it would serve the pro Obrien crowd good to at the very least recognize that so the very premise of the argument can be agreed to and we can move on. I will always jump up to defend Koobs. Great guy, great coach and he deserved better. Thats my opinion. Gary Kubiak himself proved all the doubters wrong. His thumbprint left the Houston TExans and Baltimore RAvens in good offensive shape until they were torn down for 'better systems' and then he won it all in Denver with the same coaching staff he had in Houston what more can you ask for?
Obrien has a chance. I hate his coaching style, but I cant argue with results. Problem has been we have been rewarding this guy for being mediocre and breaking down Kubiak for being just as mediocre? Im passionate about this subject because Kubiak embodies everything I want in a coach and I despise Obriens snide remarks, how he treats the media, how he treats other coaches and players. He's a fake tough guy. Some people like that, i dont and nobody can make me feel otherwise. Good for Obrien, he's finally winning. You cant argue with results so he gets a pass from me until further notice, but you bet your ass that as soon as he starts making the same stupid ass mistakes and ridiculous in game coaching errors I'll be leading the burning torch and pitchfork posse up the hill.
After all the back and forth squabbaling, and dick measuring and 'my dad can beat up your dad' posts NOBODY has definitively stated Obriens strengths LOL .. maybe since you are feeling pretty strongly you could begin that dialogue so we could create a productive and civil conversation.
WHAT IS OBRIEN GOOD AT???
