Thanks for your support!
Caper's is done. Can we get that guy Terry Robiskie to be our interum headcoach for the rest of the season?
Could a Colts win save capers?
Hervoyel said:No. No more Capers.
I'm not even sure that making the playoffs would save his job. Besides, the playoffs aren't happening this year. They'd have to go at least 9-2 from this point, which puts them at 9-7 for the season. It probably will take 10-6 to make it in the AFC.Texas_Thrill said:You see my question....now gimme those responses.

You have to remember that this is really the fifth year. Can't remember who pointed that out earlier, and I had forgotten it myself, but the first year started in 2001, when Capers was hired to get his staff together and get everything set for the expansion draft, etc. The first season was year two, and things looked pretty good. Last year things began to unravel and it's only gotten worse. We've seen no indication that this season can be salvaged. Carroll might be a decent choice, but a lot of us think Gary Kubiack would be better. Also, he has local ties to this area, or at least has in the past.mean mark8 said:Everyone seems to be saying that Capers' being fired is almost certainly a sure thing. What about that 5-yr plan that McNair bought into? Does anyone see Capers possibly being our coach again next year? Look, Tice is still with the Vikings and Hasslet with the Saints. It's possible that McNair will let Capers stay one more year to "right the ship." It's scary but it could happen.

oso said:Even before the season began, Capers was listed as one of the NFL coaches on the hot seat. It would take a winning season to keep him here. Colts win does nothing for that. I don't think anything has changed. Unless he gets a winning season, Capers is out.

Not really knowing where Mr. McNair's "line in the sand" is established, it's tough to say at what point he knows in his head that Coach Capers has to go.
I would assume that a 4-12 season (or worse) is a 'sure thing'. But what about 6-10 or 7-9 (unlikely record at this point)?

There is zero probability that McNair lets Capers coach in a lame duck year. Unless McNair plans on resigning Capers he has to let him go because the players have no reason to listen to a coach playing out the string. I'd consider Capers odds of coaching here next season at zero.Bobo said:This would be the right -- and fair -- thing to do. Capers has brought us excitement and electricity for three years. This year has indeed been bad. But is it fair to fire a guy who took an expansion team from its infancy and led it to within a game of a .500 record in just three years after just five games? I think not. Give him his five years, and then sit down and evaluate. If the team isn't where it should be, then it's time for a change. But give the guy a chance next year. Three strong seasons and one bad one certainly does NOT call for a change.
Bobo said:According to who? Perhaps those crazy fans with unrealistic expectations, but I think everyone who had some rationality in them would agree that an 8-8 season would be an improvement once again and would be the first non-losing season in the Texans history.

Do we really need the media to tell us what we see? We can all see the last 14 games and its been painful.the wonger need food said:According to several media outlets who saw the team starting to regress at about week 9 last season. They have 1 win over a decent team (and 3 total wins) in the past 14 games.

the wonger need food said:The thing is... not all have seen it. Several people on this board were happy with last year's results not realizing that the team regressed over the second half of the season. I was chastized relentlessly for pointing out this fact.
