We heard this before. I think that was the "Leave Carr Alone!" catch phrase once we fell out of contention (on queue of course).The Texans’ performance in their last five games will determine the fate of coach Gary Kubiak and his assistants.
This is a quote from Bob McNair....sooooooo, Kubiak has said it was 'on him' about 700 times this year, or so. More or less.McNair said a big part of the blame should be placed on players who continue to make mistakes that cost them games rather than making plays that pull out victories.
“The coaches responsibility is to get the players ready,” McNair said. “I think they’ve done that. Opposing teams haven’t been doing things we haven’t prepared for. There haven’t been surprises.
“The players have to perform on the field. They have to develop that consistency. The coaches can’t run, catch, throw and tackle. They’re not in the huddle. That’s on the players. Players know that.
“When the coaches don’t put the players in the best position, they tell the players that one was on me, and it won’t happen again.”
Seems like he's content...

Then he is content with another year of "sucky" football in Htown! McNair needs to grow a "pair" & get a PROVEN head coach! It's this kind of talk from our boss that I wish we had an owner like.....GASP, YIKES......Jerry Jones!
He will have to be the highest paid coach but he is arguably the highest qualified coach out there available so you get what you pay for. I bet 7million gets it done. That is more than Spurrier stole from the Skins but not quite the Holmgren GM/Head Coach salary that he got from Paul Allen of the Seahawks.
But we're classy!
Seems to me we have a bigger problem than I originally thought. The players are blaming the fans, the fans are blaming the coach, the owner is blaming the players and the coach says it is all on him.

McNair said leadership among the players is of the utmost importance.
“We’re starting to develop leadership on the team, but we’re not there yet,” he said. “They need to step up and take charge when they’re on the field and not let these mental lapses occur. Maybe we need to bring in more players to develop more leadership. We’ll have to see how we do in these last five games.
“I think the coaches have done a good job. We don’t have the record I hoped we’d have, and that’s disappointing. I know Gary’s disappointed, too. The key is for us to focus on going to Jacksonville and trying to win this game. If we keep it at six losses, we’re still in the hunt.”

Sounds like nobody knows what the hell they are looking at over there off Fannin. You know McNair is gonna do the same thing he did with Carr. Kubiak's teams will beat Seattle and the Rams since nothing is on the line and they will blame the lack of winning a few more games on injuries as if the Colts totally collapsed once Freeney, Sanders and Marlin Jackson went down.Seems to me we have a bigger problem than I originally thought. The players are blaming the fans, the fans are blaming the coach, the owner is blaming the players and the coach says it is all on him.
I don't know, but it sounds to me that Kubiak stays unless we lose the rest of the games.
They look sloppy constantly....it's like watching Fox News when you hear Texan Management speak nowdays. I bet they change the crowd shot next.I was just going to post that excerpt. I don't know how he figures the team is so well prepared to play; they sure don't look it at times. It looks like McNair is absolving Kubiak and blaming the players. I don't buy it; even ignoring the question of who picked the players.
How can the players be so well prepared if they make mistakes game after game? It's not just one or two players either; it's many players or even whole units. Someone is always screwing up - where do all of these someones converge?

We are paying Dunta 9 million to get pass interference calls every game...
I'd gladly pay a high quality HOF caliber HC like Cowher 10 million. He'd be worth every penny compared to the typical "big name FA" signing or our "franchise CB"

BTW...
Does anyone remember if Capers also got the "vote of confidence" in 2005?
Other than the Jets game, I don't remember much sucky football this year.
They've all been really good games.
Crap, now I have to hope Houston loses to Jacksonville. Even McNair can't "chicken salad" 4 straight divisional losses right in the middle of a playoff race.
(oh and before anybody says I'm "not a true fan" shove it......don't even go there.)
and all of this right after I was giving McNair the benefit of the doubt in another thread...
This is the Ed Biles/Chuck Studley era of the Texans.
everything was on the line the last two weeks. This team will step up once ousted...that's how we have done it in the Kubiak era and he has given us no reason to believe otherwise.Let Kubiak do what he do.
I don't understand anyone thinking right now, that we are playing for nothing. Every game from here until our next loss means more than any game we ever played.
Everything is on the line, now.
We aren't that bad. As fans, we might be just as upset as fans were then, but the team certainly isn't as bad as those were.
Okay....Hugh Campbell era.
This is just super. The players know what's what. They know when they aren't being coached well, they know when the coaches aren't prepared, they damn well know when the coach isn't putting the best players on the field.
Having the owner then throw them under the bus while pumping up the coaching staff...this may be interesting to watch.
If all that matters, is that we make the play-offs, then why would you want us to lose another game?
Now isn't the time to give up... we're one game away from that.
Let Kubiak do what he do.

The coaches responsibility is to get the players ready, McNair said. I think theyve done that. Opposing teams havent been doing things we havent prepared for. There havent been surprises.
The players have to perform on the field. They have to develop that consistency. The coaches cant run, catch, throw and tackle. Theyre not in the huddle. Thats on the players. Players know that.
When the coaches dont put the players in the best position, they tell the players that one was on me, and it wont happen again.
WHAT?!?!?
We had two weeks to prepare for Vince Young and the option. As coach, I would have had one of my quickest scrubs out there as VY (during practice) running the option to Arian Foster or Moats. And that's ALL I would have been doing. For two weeks. Nothing else. Just that.
And when that option was called during the MNF game, my defense would have played it perfectly and would have nailed it from the very get-go. And it would have flustered VY and the Titans.
But instead, we looked lost and were trying to just hang on as best we could. The Titans got back to doing what VY does best: Using him as a running threat, and pairing him with CJ on the option run play.
If our coaches couldn't prepare the players any better than what I saw on MNF, then how can McNair say all this crap?
He's as full of crap as his past two coaches have been.
I didn't think I could be any more red-ass'd than I was earlier today, but this little gem just takes the cake.
Go Texans...
If this plays out like it did with David Carr then McNair will keep Kubiak for another year no matter what. And it will turn out to be a year too long once again. Sometimes you can have too much patience for your own good.
I wonder if McNair noticed how many seats in sold out Reliant were filled with Colts fans because Texan fans sold their tickets? It was disgusting. Open your eyes!
How about we start blaming the fans first for selling their tickets?
Ok, no joke. I see what you mean about the MNF game. I'm still pissed off about it, and can't understand why we were not prepared.
But, reading the entire story, I read McNair's comments differently. I think he's done with Kubiak. I read it as: "Gary, if you don't win the rest of these games, your ass is grass. And, your ass might me grass anyway."
McNair is not playing around.
