How will Gary Kublak do has Texans Head Coach

When are you people going to figure out that BoBo is a Cowplops TROLL. He was on here last year about this time with stuff that was just as screwball.

Um, my assessment was right on last year. All kinds of rose-colored garbage was being said such as how the Texan were going to win 11 games and get into the playoffs. I said that was a bunch of wishful thinking, and I was right. This year it's the same thing -- only there's more of a reason to be dour in assessing this team. Also, your failure to respond to any of my points is duly noted.

Perfectly stated. I will never see exactly where Bobo expected Capers to take the team, but thats not of my own concern. Personally, I have much faith in next year. Some may say "riding on the shoulders of the young hero" Kubiak will bring us no success, but this is a step into a bigger world for the young Texans. All teams have had to deal with it, and we are now no exception. Some for better, some for worse.... But lets sit down and watch some football in September before we decide whether the Kubiak trend is a path to failure.

Capers was taking this team slowly and surely in the right direction. If you are going to criticize Capers for one bad year, then you must do the same to Cowher and Holmgren. Heck, if it were up to many of you, Holmgren and Cowher would both have been gone long before they got into the Super Bowl. And seeing that many folks on this board were calling for Capers' dismissal two games into the season last year, pardon me if I don't cut Kubiak a whole lotta slack this year. OK? Of course, he has a long-term contract so he's got job security for awhile, even if he turns in a trio of seasons with between three and five victories apiece.

Since how did Capers "neglect" Carr's abilities? He threw for more than 3,000 yards in 2004 and had an excellent year. Seems like he did just fine then. And how do you say that Kubiak is a "long-term investment" that the team needs? There is no proof of that in his resume -- he's just as big a question mark as anybody else since he hasn't been in the NFL for one down as an NFL head coach.

How does 7 good games out of 16 translate into an 'excellent' year?

I never personally want to see Capers go. But man, thats just the way things work. He may have had a strong plan for us next year, we will never know. But he's gone now. It's just the way things are. Putting aside that, can you honestly say that Kubiak has been a flop so far?

When a person has a booger on their nose, and you say to them "You have a booger on your nose," and they say, "No I don't..." what do you do?

You walk away and shrug your shoulders.

So it is with Bobo. I hate to have to rag him publicly like this...but dangit he brings it on himself.

Why he holds onto Capers as if Capers had the answers and if only people would listen and honor Capers is beyond me. To blatantly predict that we'll actually all collectively be here in 2 years to apologize for canning Capers is just beyond bizarre.

We had a few laughs. The guy was a solid character guy. Nice guy. Clean guy. Mouth breather. He took great notes. Snappy dresser. All that.

But the entire direction he took the team, and the level of talent in terms of coaching was not there. It just wasn't, and there's no disputing that sometimes coaching gigs just don't work out.

But we've had four years of wandering in the desert, with NO SNIFF OF PLAYOFFS, and the guy shoud have been given another 3 or 4 years? I can see if you succeed and then have a fluke losing season, but four years of being less than average? We ranked so low on offense for so long, it's not even funny...but a guy who was on a great offensive team comes to our team as HC and he's a goner according to Bobo.

Give the new HC four years and let's get back together to discuss. I'll wager we have a better overall record than the first four years.

And you've got it 100% wrong. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- Capers was an excellent coach who was taking this team in the right direction. Heck, most of you were predicting playoffs last year! You wouldn't have made those predicitons if he was a bad coach his first three years! What, do you think he became stupid overnight? And for you to say this team was "wandering in the desert" for four years is a misnomer, seeing that those four years were all in the team's infancy. He took a team from its birth -- from scratch -- and took it to within a game of .500 in its third year of existence with a bunch of rejects and rookies! You call that "wandering in the desert?" Kubiak has no NFL head coaching experience, hired a staff lacking in experience as well, and then turned around and spent precious capital on dealing with situations that weren't even problems and made matters worse. Capers had a successful tenure for three straight years, causing many to make unrealistic expectations of him and then they turned around and called for his ouster after losing a game in Buffalo (as though that's the first time the Bills won at home) and losing a game to Pittsburgh -- the eventual SB champs. Capers never got his due in this town, was unfairly run out on a rail and then the so-called "braintrust" goes out and hires a green head coach who didn't really didn't produce without Elway, who spent all his time in the skybox and then hires a bunch of inexperieced cronies as his staff. Pardon me for being pessimistic.

And what question is that I am supposedly "ignoring?" So anybody that is telling the truth about this team and the HC is engaging in "a personal vendetta?" Yeah, right.

hmmm ok are u a fan? cause i have never seen u make a positive remark about our team. and its getting a little old
Click to expand...

What is your definition of a "fan?" Somebody who loves the coach? If that were the case, then many folks weren't "fans" when they were calling for Capers' dismissal. How about the many "fans" that were hoping the Texans would lose to get the first draft choice? I wouldn't call that being a "fan" and that CERTAINLY is not "positive" when you hope that your team loses.
 
TexansLucky13 said:
Haha, Amen to that. He seems to have a lot of resentment for losing Capers. In the end, its just something that had to be done. This is the modern NFL, coaches are judged by their performance. Whether it was his fault or not, Capers got bagged for last years 2-14 Reggie Bush race. Has Kubiak done anything right, in your opinion?
Click to expand...

Um, no it didn't. Did Cowher and Holmgren have to fired for one bad season as well? Thank goodness for the Steelers and Seahawks that their coaches' performance wasn't judged based on one season. As far as Kubiak goes, no, I haven't seen much that he has done that is right. Then again, he hasn't been around much. Oh, I take that back, I do believe he put his hat on straight at the news conference announcing his hiring. Good for him.:redtowel:
 
I bet that took a lot of thought. I truely am sorry that your hero Capers was cut. Maybe you should be a Dolphins fan now? They would enjoy your posts, I presume.

If that makes you feel better, then go right ahead. But that doesn't change the facts. And your failure to respond to the facts has been duly noted.
 
Bobo said:
You obviously need to be watching some game film yourself. TE has never been a problem for this team -- they have used the TE to stay in and block because the real problem for this team, the OL, needed and still needs help. WR has not been a problem because the WRs they've had haven't even been able to run their routes before Carr gets sacked due to the OL play. And Carr has been just fine. The OL hasn't been addressed at all except for Flanagan. It's basically the same guys they had last year. Same wit the defense. Now go watch your game film and catch up.
Click to expand...

The Texans have never had an all-around TE. Billy Miller was the best they've had on the roster, but he was a below-average blocker and never a playmaker. If you watch the rest of the NFL the TE is an integral part of a team's offensive game planning.

Yes, the offensive line has been a problem, duh. But it had more to do with Capers and his clowns than personnel. I mean come-on... that coaching staff brought in a guy to play the most important position on the line. A guy that isn't even in the NFL this year. They were the epitome of incompetence.

The defense has been upgraded just by changing coaches and scheme. No one on this team had any faith in the 3-4 or coaches game plans.

And if you think Carr has "been fine", you are the one that needs to watch game film from the last 25 or so games. Dude has stunk.

FOR THE UPTEENTH TIME:

Those guys have (BING! BING BING!) gottent their teams deep into the playoffs, and have even been to, and won, Super Bowls.

Capers got the Panthers deep into the playoffs one time...and NEVER sniffed the playoffs with us. Never.

Your argument regarding this point is so obtuse. Can you not see the folly with your statement? Those guys have won consistently with their teams and truly DESERVE a break when a bad season hits. It's called a "track record," and Capers' was so far below average with us over a four-year span it's absurd.

LET GO of your pet gripe. Go be a Dolphins fan and get your Capers fix there.

It's a real, REAL bad thing when you are pulling away resources from a tenuous situation and putting those resources in areas you really don't need.
Click to expand...


Right, because they just did not add a new center and bring in a new line coach. If you don't have the downfield threat then wtf is the point of improving the line?
 
Bobo,

One of the main questions that everyone wants to hear your side on is Who should Kubiac have picked up in FA to address the OL in your opinion?

Secondly, another question that a previous poster asked you was Has Kubiac done anything right this offseason, in your opinion?

If you would address these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, not to dredge up hurt feelings about the loss of Capers do to his failure here, but have you not noticed that Capers set up his Texans team to utilize a pass catching TE in Billy Miller. The next season they even spent a second round pick on another pass-catching TE threat in Bennie Joppru. Now that Kubiac does the same, picking up a decent pass-catching/average blocking TE in Putz, who is familiar with Kube;s system, is stupid is a contradicting argument. Remember that, when a TE does leave the line on a quick route, usually that takes away a blitzer, and if not, leaves a fast option as the TE do dump to for a good 4-6 yards

I have answered this question many times before. The Texans should trade their top pick for as many choices as possible and then use those picks exclusively on the defense and OL and then see what guys work and what guys don't work. It may take a few years, but sooner or later they will be able to see who clicks and who doesn't. I have also addressed the "has Kubiak done anything right this offseason so far?" I said he did -- I believe I saw a picture of him wearing his hat straight during the announcement of his hiring. Then again, maybe that was somebody else so don't hold me to that. As far as Miller goes, I addressed that as well. The Texans had a pass catching TE in Miller and he was a pretty good one but then had to go to a blocking TE when Capers saw the line wasn't coming together and it needed some help. To get Putzier now when it is obvious the line still needs help is silly. It is pretty dumb to just assume that a wave of the magic wand will heal all the OL woes and allow the Texans to bring in a pass catching TE. I don't care how familiar the guy is with Kubiak's system. It won't do him or any of the other receivers any good if Carr is on his back or is scrambling for his life everytime he goes back to pass once again, even moreso because they are reducing his protection. As far as the TE taking away a blitzer, good grief, man! The OL was so porous that opposing Ds were sacking Carr when they sent just three or four guys! They didn't have to blitz anybody!
 
I understand your stance on trading down in the draft and of the OL's dismal performance over the past four years, but my first question was "Who should Kubes have picked up in this offseason's FREE AGENCY, in your opinion? And I'm looking for a realistic answer, not someone like Hutchinson.

He wont answer you.
 
I liked your question about the OL in FA and noticed that it was never answered so I was simply restating it in hopes of getting some insight into who we should have signed.

Yea, I would like to know too. I know by now that he is just in need of attention. I feel for the guy. It's bad to see a person in that shape.

Just look above in this same thread and you will find the answer. And I feel for you, but only in a football manner because it looks like you are about to have your high expectations dashed once again, just as they were for so many people last year.

I honestly think we should leave FA alone when it comes to the OL unless the guy available fits the Texans needs. Good OL are more valuable in the NFL nowadays than RBs since you need a tandem of five of them to succeed and every good one is valuable. Teams are very hesitant to part with the good ones nowadays.
 
wolf123 said:
so you are basically saying that the OL should solely be addressed through the draft and no others means

Yes, thats his position on it. And it completely defies his earlier position. Him stating that Kubiak hasnt focused on the O-line enough, then coming back now and saying that the FA shouldnt be focused on the OL, is entirely hypcritical. And he argued with me about this all day, literally!
