BoB appreciates fans like you.
I'm sure he appreciates fans like you as well.
Do you enjoy a team that never has won a big game. Do you enjoy an organization that keeps GM/Coaching staff that fails to meet expectations? But the owner keeps them around anyway?
This has nothing to do with what I said. We were talking about the 9-7 season. The season we finally won more games than we lost. I said it was a milestone, something worth celebrating. Not cause for us to relax our expectations for this team.
Your wife (if you're married) gets a raise, you go out & celebrate. You don't bash her for not getting a promotion.
That's all I said.
Under BoB there's no accountability within this organization and the Texans will never win until accountability is the order from the top down. I dont see this happening until a strong personality is hired to run this team. (Parcells,Gruden,Cowher type)
This is another goofy line that gets repeated around here as if it's fact. You don't know this. Accountability, look it up. It doesn't mean fired. Have you ever missed a goal at your job? Missed a deadline? Come short, just a little? Have you ever been fired for doing such things? Were you given an opportunity to correct your mistakes?
That's accountability.
I've said plenty of times after the 2010 season, I believe Gary should have been fired. That's after failing to meet expectations several times (2008, 2009, 2010), after being given an opportunity to fix whatever his problem may be. McNair didn't do that. But I still don't believe that means there is no accountability. He did fire both Casserly & Capers, this situation must be different. He did fire Frank Bush, Jonny Holland, & David Gibbs...... so there is some accountability somewhere.
BoB has never hired this type authoritarin leader to run his franchise and I dont see it happening anytime soon.
So, it's not like those guys are running away with Super Bowl Championships or anything. Hell, it took Cowher damn near a generation to get there & everyone wants to act like he'll get us there in a season or two.
As far as all of those fancy stats you put up. Theu're great. But they have no substance. The only stat that matters is 9 yrs an 0 playoff appearances. I hate going to games and watching Gary physically tighten up in the 4th qtr of games. I dont belive this is a characteristic of Lombardi,Walsh,Landry,Belichick etc....
Have you been to games to see how Lombardi, Walsh, Landry, Belichick react to the 4th Qtr? Do they roll out a hammock & cold one?
Keeping Gary and Rick on has given me very little hope for the Texan next yr. We've seen their act for 5 yrs now. When will their act get old to you?
I dont want exciting games. I want wins and you should too. That's the only criteria that really matters when it comes to being a successful franchise and it's not going to happen until the GREAT FANS of the HOUSTON TEXANS demand that BoB make that priority number 1.
Who says I don't want wins? The statement I made was in reference to whether the game was good or not. Winning isn't the determining factor for whether a game was good or not. There's usually 15 other games played every week, where I don't care who wins or loses... many of those are good games. Some of them aren't, even though someone did win.
Bob McNair says he wants to win. He says he kept Gary, brought in Wade because he wants us to win next year.
You're saying he is doing it for other reasons.
& you believe I should believe you.
I'm not going to defend McNair's decision to keep Kubiak. I don't agree with keeping both Kubiak & Smith. But it makes sense & I can understand his thinking. Keeping Kubiak & Wade has more probability of winning 10+ games in 2011 as bringing in Cowher/Gruden/whoever. Not what I would have done. Obviously not what you would have done. But just as viable an option as any.
