Kubiak = NO Vince Young

Wonderlic Test Results:

Brian Griese - 39
Akili Smith - 37
Tom Brady - 33
Steve Young - 33
John Elway - 30
Brett Favre - 22
Dan Marino - 16
Jeff George - 10
Certainly the most curious score there is Marino, who without question is one of the all great QBs. Is this number really good ? If so, disproves the theory that QB needs a lot of smarts to succeed in the NFL.

Not necessarily, you have to evaluate him and interview him about the test. Did he just not try and thought it was useless and that is the reason he slid? What percentage of QB's that take the test and have been starters in the NFL for over 5 years have a score of 20 or better? See all of this data subjective when you make a small sample size like that.

Kubiak is ours unless he somehow is an ***** today during the interview process. The Texans are his first choice by a very long margin. McNair and Reeves want him, the only thing holding back his hirer originally was Casserly. Casserly wanted what was at the time a more reputable name (especially for starting a franchise), so he picked Capers. McNair listened and followed as he has done consistantly until recently.

Barring some crazy unforeseen circustance, Kubiak should be unofficially the coach by this evening - interesting to see what is given to the press.

It is called leverage, both sides are trying to get it when it comes to the financial package.

I think this is true in Kubiak's case for sure, he is interviewing with the Lions and maybe (doubtful) others to try and put a little heat on the Texans and to show his value as appreciated by those around the league.

However, the Texans are just covering their bases to make sure everything is cosher. In reality the Texans had only two real candidates: (1) Kubiak, (2) Ferentz (and possibly Gregg Williams). Ferentz does not look that interested and they are fearful of sitting too long on Kubiak given all the interest surrounding him.

I want to hear post interview quotes. The to sides will agree in principle tonight, although this cannot be released until the Broncos are eliminated from the playoffs.

Where is this inside info comming from? Who is your source? Or are you guessing?
 
I went over this yesterday, I will not reveal my source. Just consider it pure speculation because if not you will go nuts again accusing me of lying.
 
Charlie Palillo and the sports ticker guy were just joking that Kubiak is late for his post interview press conference so it must be a done deal:yahoo: lol

Sorry, titan hater - this was not addressed directly at you. However, yesterday I posted similar information from a source close to the organization and was blasted. Just giving a preemptory response.

To others, please only consider it speculation - I do not need to hear all the comments again.

Boy no shortage of fun on the MB I see! I unfortunately don't get to see our boys play but MAYBE twice a year (when they play the jags) but from what I have gathered by reading and watching what little I can the Texans don't need Bush or Young! What some of you have already said there are other issues to be addressed. First and formost COACHING, then our OLINE ( by the way for the record a few years ago some one resembling myself stated that the line was a big problem you know back when Herndon was starting) then defense, I'd also like to relieve a couple of our RBs (not DD). I'd like to Kubiak as our next HC. Carr will come around with a GOOD coach (hopefully this next season). What I'd like to see the head weenies do is grab DBrickashaw Ferguson, and Lendale White (he has good size could be an everydown back and he reminds me of someone I use to watch as a kid) I know I'm dreaming a bit no possible way to get both so we get DBrickashaw, he IS the bigger NEED. Everything else can be addressed with the lesser picks and hopefully free agency. I will say to some of you there is a fine line between want and need, and just because we have the number one pick does not mean we have to take what we want. If we didn't have a CAPABLE QB Then my pick would be I don't know! I know I don't like Lienert( poor loser) Vince said he was staying and until he says otherwise he's staying. I've been arguing with my Marines for months over who was the HE IS d MAN., everyone of them came into work Thursday, and apologized for being wrong:) I know I'm all over the map but yall just have to deal with it.

On a totally unrelated topic whatever happened to mcmike? Vinny and him had some truly classic disputes.

Go Texans
 
Hire Kubiak.



I'm one of the rare black people who say dont draft Vince. I still have a good feeling about Carr so i say keep him. I felt good about D-Rob and AJ too but i've always speculated about the O-line and it sucks (other than Pitts hes the best one we have and we need to start Hogdin or whatever his name is)
