Thanks for your support!
Smells of a McNair hire, as opposed to a Kubiak hire.
The Texans are soooo stupid in this regard, they made it so obvious who they wanted as a DC and yet they said they would actually search for a candidate.
Why all the BS?
The entire length of the interview

I'm sure it was. If it were up to Kubiak, he'd have his son in for an interview.
Wade and John Fox were probably the best available DC's with Marv Lewis keeping his job. You might throw Mike Nolan in there, too, but even so, you're getting a top 3 available guy.
For those that wanted Singletary, remember - he's never called a defense. McNair wanted proven experience, and he got that. I'm not elated that Kubiak is still here, but I can at least see McNair's thinking here. Once it settles in, I'll get behind it more.
I never wanted Singletary. That guy is a clown.
I don't think most people have a problem with Wade Phillips as a DC. He has a proven track record of having very good defenses. The problem obviously is with Gary Kubiak as the head coach of the Texans. I think Phillips has a hell of a job ahead of him and I hope he can turn this historically bad defense into something respectable. Goodluck to him.
What about as a position coach?
8-8 here we come.

Good news. With what was out there, I think we got the best guy.
John McClain said on his twitter that the report is false. That Wade has strongly denied it saying he hasn't even interviewed yet. His interview is tomorrow and he has only talked with Kubiak once.
I never really had a problem with hiring Phillips.....and I do like how McNair realized that with how bad our defense was that it doesn't really matter if we scrap the whole 4-3 and go for a 3-4. When your defense is as bad as our was, it's a rebuild job either way. There's no where to go, but up on that side of the ball.
Now I'm curious to see who our secondary coach is going to be, because that might be the most important hire we make this offseason.
Wade Phillips to interview with Texans on Wednesday
Wade Phillips is coming to Houston to interview with coach Gary Kubiak on Wednesday, but he denied a report that he's already accepted the job.
Phillips is the leading candidate to replace the fired Frank Bush.
"That's not true," Phillips said today. "I haven't even interviewed for the job. I talked to Gary today, but I haven't been offered the job. We're going to talk (Wednesday)."
I can't wait until we get to watch some Bang Cartoons now
Those cracked me up when they had Jerry Jones and Wade on there

Hopefully we will be winning (which will make me laugh) if we are losing, I probably will be about the cartoons
This reminds me of 1993 (except Pardee had made the playoffs for several straight seasons). I wonder if Wade is going to punch Kubiak at some point during the season.
Looks like it was just updated about 5 minutes ago and this stuck out. I'm pretty sure when I first read it they stated that Phillips confirmed it was true to Allen. Now they edited it and I think added the last sentence there, "we're gathering more details..."Eyewitness Sports Director Bob Allen spoke with Phillips by phone earlier today. The official announcement could come as early as tomorrow.
We're gathering more details on this story and will post them as we get them.

myfoxhouston.com is reporting that the hiring is not true, and that Phillips does not want to lose a job when a report is saying he was hired.
HOUSTON - Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips denied a report Tuesday that he will be named the next defensive coordinator of the Houston Texans.
"I have not been offered the job and I don't want to lose a job because of a report that's not true," said Phillips in an interview with FOX 26 Sports.
"That report is wrong. I just spoke with (Texans head coach) Gary (Kubiak) for the first time (Tuesday)."
Phillips acknowledged that he will meet with Texans officials Wednesday and will interview for the position.
"I'm coming to town," Phillips said. "I'm interested and I need a job."
"It could happen. Everyone can see it. It might be a good fit, but nothing has happened yet.
The Texans fired defensive coordinator Frank Bush.
Both Texans owner Bob McNair and head coach Gary Kubiak have acknowledged that Phillips is a candidate for the job.
FOX 26 Sports asked McNair Monday if he considers Phillips the leading candidate for the job.
"Well there's certainly no one better qualified out there right now," McNair said. "We are going to talk to anyone that we think is a highly qualified person, but I don't know of anybody right now that's better qualified."
"He is defensive-minded and Gary is offensive-minded and that's the kind of combination you need.
"So we're going to talk to him and see how well he likes us and whether he likes our philosophy and the way we do things and we'll see how it goes, but we're certainly interested in him
