Kubiak's Denver staff got wiped out a year before he signed if I remember correctly, Shanahan's seat was getting hot and he started moving everybody. That's not a Texans' tradition, it's what happens when you sign first time head coaches, however Kubiak had a tree and it was growing. Kubiak now has the head coach of the 49'ers and Broncos from directly under him, and Richard Smith was DC in the Superbowl. As posted elsewhere, O'Brien's strongest coach is Devlin.
We had the winning formula, perfection for the city of Houston and state of Texas once we got Wade to sign on ... and for some reason that doesn't fit your agenda. 6-10 is the end of the world and we're stupid to pay the guy building probowlers. 4-12, he just needs a GM to giftwrap him probowlers.
