Kubiak's Next Destination

I have a feeling that as an OC Kubiak will be perfectly fine, the major worry about him was that stroke he had this past season. His offenses were pretty good in Houston and I think he had a decent eye for offensive talent. If he goes to the Browns (currently the rumor) I think paired with a guy like Pettine they could make some waves next year, and then promptly get fired anyway. The Browns seem like they have a some talented offensive players (Gordon, Thomas, Mack) so I could see it working, but that whole place seems like such a clown show that it's hard to predict any kind of success for that team.

Of course to be fair, you thought Gary was the man to lead the Texans to the SB.

If Schaub and Mario stayed healthy in 2011, that was a Super Bowl winning team. Schaub was doing whatever he wanted on offense and was near the top of the league in most passing categories despite the Texans mostly running clock in the second half after building a big lead in the first. Mario was making OTs look like highschool kids and Barwin/Reid looked good too.

Kubiak didn't suddenly forget how to coach, the team he built was dismantled because of injuries and the salary cap.

Other than having a rule against Super Bowl predictions in the past, agreed.

Former Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has emerged as the favorite for the Baltimore Ravens' vacant offensive coordinator job, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Kubiak, who was fired by the Texans in December, wants to bring former Houston offensive coordinator Rick Dennison and former Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan with him to Baltimore, sources told Schefter.

The Ravens are attempting to assemble their offensive coaching "dream team" with the recruitment of Kubiak, Dennison and Shanahan, according to sources.

Kubiak and Dennison both met with Ravens officials Sunday in Baltimore, sources said.

Looks like the Texans have not seen the last of Gary Kubiak. Texans face Ravens in Reliant in 2014!

Gary Kubiak, the former head coach of the Houston Texans, has emerged as the Ravens' leading candidate, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. If the Ravens were looking to make a splash at offensive coordinator, this is the biggest one they could make right now for an offense that finished No. 29 in the NFL this past season.

He is hired..though disagree that he is really run first

Ravens hired Gary Kubiak as offensive coordinator.

It's a strong hire for one of the NFL's top coaching staff-front office combinations. Kubiak is expected to bring along Rick Dennison from Houston, likely as offensive line coach. A run-first mind, Kubiak employs a Shanahanian zone-blocking scheme and will likely scale back Joe Flacco's pass attempts dramatically after he set a career high with over 600 in 2013. The Ravens need to upgrade their up-front talent and potentially shake up their running back corps. It's worth noting Bernard Pierce drew Arian Foster comparisons coming out of Temple two years ago. A la Owen Daniels/Garrett Graham, look for Dennis Pitta's red-zone opportunities to increase, assuming the Ravens re-sign him.

I guess they circled back around... maybe met some demands... maybe feel adding Dennisen ... will give continuity when Kubes leaves... I dunno?

Whatever. Best of luck to Gary...

As best as his interests don't conflict with ours. [IMGwidthsize=20]http://www.clker.com/cliparts/e/e/e/1/13136926561071697694Godfather.svg[/IMG]

Man them Ravens love their Texans cast-offs. They usually make better use of them than we did though, a lot of that was Kubiak's doing. Worst of luck to Kubes and the Ravens since I hate the Ravens.
 
meh....whatever. He had to land someplace. As long as it wasn't with an AFCS team, I don't care about Kubiak any more than I care about what is happening to Capers. Wherever the **** he is.
 
Well it appears Ozzie Newsome "the greatest GM in the NFL" is about to give a giant one of these to all the Texans fans who claimed the NFL had passed by Kubiak and his offense:

I still think Kubiak's offense is stale, boring and predictable. Just because they hired him, doesn't mean it isn't. The NFL is probably the most insular business in the country. People fail up, and get hired by their buddies.

I wish Kubiak the best because he's a good dude. But as a play caller, he's terrible.

Onward.

Really? You don't know that Capers is the DC in Green Bay where he helped them win the SB in 2010?

I remember him being with someone, but not specifically which team. So now I know. Not that I will remember this in a few weeks.

Because of his knowledge of the current players could be helpful for a division rival, even though the playbook will be changed.

Ozzie is still waiting for that overpriced Flacco contract to pan out first. probably why he thought a QB guru was a good hire.

And now Gary will finally learn what every other defense in the league seemed to know in 2013 -- how he was tipping his playcalling last year.

Said it before... top 5 OC.

Or, it's really because "their buddies" know what's going on, and fans don't know sh!t.

Yeah, I think I'll go with that one. Nice move, Newsome! I get a kick out out of it when GMs tell fans to go f'ck themselves. :)
 
Flacco's going to turn out to be a very good QB now. Expect his completion percentage to hit mid-60s and his TD:INT to be something like his 2010 25:10 ratio. Good move for the Ravens.
 
Congrats to Kubiak. I think he landed in a good spot, and working with the Ravens organization will really help him in the future.

They have a lot of talent that fits what Gary does offensively .... They could be the team to beat in the AFC next year.

Funny...

Ravens becoming Texans North,

Texans becoming Patriots South.

Ozzie Newsome is the least 'best buddy' as far as hiring people he knows and played with...

Ozzie never plays that game...
 
I am a very very happy Raven fan right now...

I was sure that they would Hire the W's coach Hostler as OC because Harbaugh's loyalty is blind to reality.

I am smell Ozzie and Bisciotti's hands in this move....Harbaugh being told to fall in line and hire Kubes.....

I always like Kubes as a coach.
 
This will work nicely, b/c Flacco will stay in pocket a bit longer and look down field, and he has an arm. But Ravens need WR help and TE help and a Center.

Wr's are young- Smith is not a legit #1 yet, marlon Brown is learning, Thompson, Tandon Doss, Aaron Mellete are also young and learning.

Jacoby might not be back- which would hurt ST more than at WR psoition.

Pitta is coming back; Matt Furstenberg is an up and comer.

Center was an area that experienced a huge drop off.

Losing LG Osemele to injury hurt as backup center was playing LG. When Osemele comes back he might go back to RG as Oher is gone.So we will need a LG. and competition for C.

Their is this guy named Peyton. He plays for the Broncos. Which play in the AFC. Which automatically makes them the favorite. Don't let your love for kubes cloud your vision. I would even say the Colts, Bengals, chiefs, patriots, and chargers are all better than the ravens at this point. The ravens need a rb and help on the oline. Who knows, flacco might run off kubiak in week 6.
