With the injury to both Schaub and now Leinart, is Kubiak's 8-3 start enough to secure another season as Head Coach?
No.
More.
Excuses.
Period.
The Texans are a Super Bowl-level team. Even if we tank the rest of the season and don't make the playoffs, another coach can come in here next season with this loaded roster and get us rolling.
Enough with the fear of changing coaches already. Look at San Francisco.
Regardless, we're getting ahead of ourselves. We are still in the hunt. Let's see how this plays out.
I would totally agree with you using the 2000 Ravens and a putrid QB like Dilfer as an example. BUT, as bad ass as our D is, I can't say it is the level of that Ravens team........YET........we shall see as the season goes on.
I have been on the get of Kubes train for a while now, but that said, right now I think we are pretty much in the playoffs, which we will probably, if we had to honestly say now, are a 1 and done team since there will be no game against JAX or CLE in the playoffs, but who knows.
So, basically, when we had Schaub in there my expectations were more than just making the playoffs, now, I have been forced to downgrade them somewhat. So, final answer, we make the playoffs and Kubes is safe IMO and I have no beef with that.

At this point, I am not counting on anything. I am just playing wait and see.
What happens if ATL next week goes after TJ Yates and knocks him around? Then what? It's been THAT kind of year.
Assume nothing.
Dude, we have a stranglehold on this division. I am not booking playoff tix yet, but seriously. not only would we have to collapse, TEN would have to just be balls out bad ass rest of the year....I don't see it as of yet.
Say Yates does get knocked around.......so, now we have to get a vet street FA to replace a late round rookie from North Carolina who was a 3rd stringer.....that doesn't kill me. Do I want to see that? Of course not, but I don't see it as dropping off a cliff....that may have already happened.......we have to just see what happens now.
I agree with you on no excuses to a degree....I'm just hesitant on the 1st and 2nd string QB's going down. QB is not RB, WR, etc.....we lost our 1st 2 string QB's man. So to me I give a little slack on that.
Not a ton, but some.

We won today, and Tennessee won today. So that still keeps us, what, two games ahead of them?
What happens if we drop our next two and they win their next two?
We will have a "stranglehold" on the division when we actually win it.

I think Kubiak should keep his job this year regardless of the outcome from now on. The injuries to the team are immense but they have persevered. I can't be mad at him for much this year.
As much as I wanted Kubiak gone, I'm going to have to agree with this. When you lose your 1st and 2nd string QB, it's a tough road to climb out of for any coach or team. Luckly we still have Carolina and Indy on our schedule.
meh......at this point, we don't have a lot to debate about. We all know what's happening. All we can do is just watch the games and hope for the best. An 11-5 season is still not unreasonable if Yates responds to coaching. That's a big if, but still, it's possible.

Sometimes life doesn't work out the way we want it. Sometimes things just happen to us, fair or not.
McNair has been more than fair to Kubak. He would be within his rights to fire Kukbiak if we don't make the playoffs. The guy has been more than patient.
Kubiak is not getting fired at the end of this season no matter what happens now, we might as well just get used to that. The reason this team is so good this year is because of Wade Phillips defense can stop teams. Last year if we could have stopped teams we'd have probably been in the playoffs. I agree with and also wish that Kubiak would have been gone a long time ago. But it's just not happening. Might as well get used to it, kind of like what we have to get used to with our QB situation right now.
That's just the way it is. And I'm going to keep cheering them on no matter what happens.
The douches on 610 just said that, even if we lose out and don't go to the playoffs that Kubiak deserves a pass.
Good lord. Will fans in this town EVER have any f-----g standards?
:vincepalm:
Why wouldn't McNair use the injury situation as an excuse? Everyone else seems to be.
The more accurate question should be . . .
Should Kubiak keeps his job even if he does make the playoffs?
That's for all you "in spite of"s out there.
Yates has it, i dont know what "IT" is but i see it in him.
i think we will make the playoffs. might be a close shave now though. id agree that this was a SB team before the injuries. GB won last yr with injuries but they werent key injuries to a-rod, clay etc like we've had.
i think kubiak has eliminated most of the doubt that he can be a successful coach with the teams performance this year so i think hes safe. fairly incredible sequence of injuries we've had/having and the team is still winning
Agreed.
I think we are going to be pleasently suprised next week.
No reasonable owner is going to hold a head coach to the standard of "you were bulldozing into the playoffs, but couldn't finish the deal with TJ Frickin Yates at the most critical position in sports."
Slow your roll, hoss. This is Wade Phillips' team and Wade Phillips' season.
ha what bullshit. it wasnt cowhers or grudens teams either so, it was lebeau's & dungy's
wade's been an awesome pickup (despite what you see on TT, you dont have to be anti one guy to be pro another when they're on the SAME team!)
they're a nice foil for each other imo. wade knows defence and can put guys in position to suceed but his discipline hasnt always been the best whereas that has never been a problem since kubiak has been HC here
Kubiak will be back next year. As much as I want to see him gone, this has been a tough year for him and the entire coaching staff. Kudos to him for keeping the team together and playing well.
Yates has it, i dont know what "IT" is but i see it in him.
just wondering why ppl still want him gone at this stage when its pretty obvious we're one of the top teams in the league?
makes no sense to me
Did we win today????? Reading some of these posts u would think it was Houston Oilers at Buffalo all over again.:vincepalm:
At the same time, what would happen if we continue to win with Yates?
If we beat Atlanta, then Cincy, then Carolina, with T.J. Yates....... what then?
Will Kubiak earn his keep?
