Kubiak just got fired

Good luck in the future, coach, and let me be the first to say thank you for bringing some success to this franchise. You took over a team that never had a winning record and got them two division 'championships'. So at least we are not waiting 20 years for any type of success like the Saints (and believe me, I was worried about that during the franchise's first 7 seasons).

Now onward and upward! :texflag:
 
thank you kubiak, you are a good man.
just could've been a better coach if you didn't get schaubed.
 
Per McNair: Wade is a candidate. Then this: "We have a young QB in Case Keenum and we need to find out if he can be a starter". Hmm wonder if this says Bob upset Schaub came in.
 
Holy Crap!!

I did NOT think McNair would pull the trigger until the end of the season, if then.

I was wrong folks. But after last night's ridiculousness, it's the right decision.

Wade is a candidate? That scares the **** out of me.
 
It was time but I still wish Kubes the best. He got our franchise on track and gave us our first taste of some sort of success. It's unfortunate that he's a 'middling' head coach and couldn't become something more while with us. Still he had his accomplishments but it's about going to that next level which should always be the goal.
 
McNair "did think about this generally after first Jags game. Did not see that we were making improvement. New coach must have NFL experience and head coach NFL experience. They are available. Keenum will start."
 
From listening to McNair's comments, it sounds to me like the last straw was putting Schaub in the game last night.

Anyone agree?

He really hem hawed when they asked him about it.
 
Thanks Gary for helping build a foundation for this franchise.

Too bad you weren't the guy to see this team make it thru to the next level. Can you please take Rick/Wade with you so the housecleaning can be complete.

Best of luck in your future endevoros. Take care of your health 1st.
 
I don't think 2-11 is "mid-season". Our season has been long over, even with 3 games to go.
 
Why is experience important to you (John McClain) "experience shows if coach can handle responsibility. Players may not make good decisions as they think as a player."

ON record "This has been horrible. The organized disciplined way is to do this after season but we need the extar time and are starting now to contact candidates. This is not a 'rebuilding process. We need to do something but have good core to turn this around."

Was Keenum being pulled a factor? "Stuttering. Case has up and downs. Penalties were unacceptable and I decided flying back last now to make move."

Never though I would see this post.
 
Glad to see the organization doing the right thing and be forward-looking. However, I am a saddened for Gary, his health and his overall decline as a HC. Guess I'm a softie
 
It's happening! It's happening!

Then I got terrified when he said keenum will start, like the last 3 games? Next year?
 
Do you wish you did it earlier season? "Schaub has one bad game and you don't want to move him but how long before you do? That was a coaching decision but most coaches would have gone with a known commodity (MS) but hindsight is 20/20. Those who have performed in past usually will perform again."
 
Surprised at this... I know most people hate Kubes but he's a great OC IMO... In many ways I don't think this was a 12-4 team the last couple years bc Schaub was never that great.

Listening to Mcnair it almost sounds like yanking Keenum was a big part in this. Almost wonder if they had some kind of agreement to not put Schaub in and Kubes putting him in was a final straw?

Kubes will get a job as OC in about a nanosecond when he's ready.

Edit- Just saw Marcus's post saying the same thing... Hadn't seen yours when I posted mine!
 
Ric Smith on draft "Too soon and we want to focus on this situation".

On candidates like Lovie Smith. McNair "Lovie is good example of those type of coaches not coaching who could be a candidate but we still want to keep process secret to not put active coaches on spot"


The end.

McNair said they want someone who is innovative and who can make adjustments. Ouch!!!!!

That was my biggest gripe right there. He stuck with the same game plan, over and over, even when it didn't work. If it worked the 1st half and the OTHER team made adjustements to counter it, we still stuck with it instead of changing to beat their adjustments. Bitter sweat I guess..
 
IF the Texans are smart they'll keep him as offensive Co-ordinator. The man is a HELL of an OC just not a good head coach. My reasoning?

Dick Labeau: GREAT player, GREAT DC...lousy head coach. The Steelers fired him and DC again and went to 4 Superbowls (two of which they won) with him as DC.

Dom Capers: SUCKED as head coach while here. Became the DC of the Packers...now has a Superbowl ring.

Jack DelRio: SUCKED as a head coach and now is the DC in Denver.


Buddy Ryan: As a Head coach is an abusive TYRANT as a DC coached the 85 Bears. Superbowl ring...

Keep Kubiak as OC. If he focuses ENTIRELY on the offense we can win this thing.


Now then. BRING IN BILL COWHER!
 
When he marched Schaub out there last night it sealed his fate. I watched players coming off the field with Schaub waiting for some hand slaps and not one player looked happy to even do it. AJ didn't even look at him when he did it. Kubiak's love for Schaub was just at an unhealthy level. He needed to go now. I appreciate Kubiak the man but his coaching in Houston was done.
 
I'd respect McNair more if he said I have a GM and he will make the football decisions. That presser was nutty.

Same here, I prefer Kubiak. NOT because I think Kubiak is better. At least with Kubiak it was only one horrid season away from being gone. I just dont want to wait another 8 years to have HOPE that we get a real HC.

Wade and Kubiak as men, I like them (what I know about them) neither of them are what I want to lead this team however.

If Wade is just filler, Im okay with it.... if he takes the position fully (as I feared when he took on DC) :toropalm:
 
very disappointed, i really hoped that the combination of kubiak and wade would be able to lead us to a championship or at least a consistent winning franchise. i knew that the time had come once it appeared kubiak had lost the locker room though. i could support and defend most anything to keep him, but if you dont have the players on your side it's time to move on.

good luck in the future coach.
