Why do you like Kubiak?

this is why I like Kubiak

Quote of the Week II

"I'll be honest with you, Vernand. I don't like the way you run. From now on you've got one cut -- and then I want to see you turn it upfield every time.''
-- Kubiak to Morency, a shifty, cutback kind of running back. In Denver, Shanahan and Kubiak preached to their backs to get upfield and stop dancing around. Kubiak's going to be an interesting guy to watch.

I'll tell you why I like Kubes.

He's similar in his tact to Lombardi. The only thing he hasn't said is "planes coming into Houston and planes leaving Houston every day".

I'm confident he will someday soon though.

:poker:
 
I like the fact that he is very honest with his opinion and feedback, but at the same time, he is very respectful in the manner e delivers it in. I think anything can be said to someone, it's all about how you say it. . . He does a great job with that.
 
I will go ahead and spill the beans now.... I like him because he looks like an offensive-minded Bill Belichick.

I idolize Belichick. I think the way he runs the Patriots is one of the biggest reasons why they had success in becoming a modern dynasty. He focuses on building a team and creating a system. He doesn't look to grab only the best talent on the market.... he looks for those who can fit into his system. That type of mentality is what makes him successful, and in turn is what built that team.

If someone said in 1999 that a 6th rounder, backup QB named Brady would lead the Patriots to 3 SBs in the next 5 years, they would probably call him crazy. IMHO the system that Belichick and Weis had set up is what made the offense work.... but the skills that Brady had are what made him successful. They needed someone who could spread the ball around, and they needed a receiver core that could respond to a QB who looks at all options. I don't think even Charlie himself could have imagined that his offense would work so perfectly with Brady.

This is why I like Kubiak. He builds a team. He criticizes players. He pushes... and if the player doesn't push back, he cuts him. He motivates.... but if the player doesn't want to play, you won't see him on the field. That is what Kubiak does for the Texans and I can't wait to see the results.

GO TEXANS. :yahoo:

Because you can jumble his name and spell Kabuki.

Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese theater. Kabuki theater is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by its performers.

The individual kanji characters, from left to right, mean sing, dance, and skill. Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing." These are, however, ateji, characters that do not reflect actual etymology, and the word kabuki is in fact believed to derive from the verb kabuku, meaning "to lean", or "to be out of the ordinary", hence kabuki can be interpreted to mean "avant-garde" or "bizarre" theatre.

Tortilla chips, guacamole, walnuts, pistachios, almonds and pecans. Breakfast like a King, dinner like a pauper.
 
1.) He has some "nads!" He (not Casserly) picked Mario over Bush, knowing the outfall he would get from the fans and the press!

2.) He is building a "team" with a proven system and no one is a "superstar."

Alrighty then. I asked the wrong question. What didja drink????:cool:
 
His resume is tops and he has a quiet confidence about him that seems to grabs you and forces you to trust in him as a coach. He knows what he wants and goes about his business with pinpoint accuracy.
 
I like Kubiak because he has been a winner at every stop he's been at in the NFL and he's been a big part of a franchise that Houston would be wise to model itself after. He's getting the players to believe that they will win rather than go out and not lose.
 
I see that he is determined to make the best out of what he's got w/ the offense. I think he is going to be a great head coach as time goes along.

LOL I wonder if they all burned those play books in a fire place. I like kubes and think he is an excellent leader instead of dum capers. :hunter: :thud:

I think the book burned before it got into the fire, because the fire knew it was coming

“The number one thing you need to do to get things going is to have aspirations and to have a standard. My dream is to see this city win a championship someday.”

Granted, pretty much every coach says this, but Kubiak is originally from here, correct me if I'm wrong, and it is something personal for him to see his hometown football team do something it has never done. And he is also bound to have an understanding of what we went through with the traitorous Bud Adams and the Spoilers, so what would be more gratifying than to have Houston actually WIN a Super Bowl before those Oilers/Titans. If anyone can do it, I believe Kubiak can.
 
He's an ex-QB and an ex-QB coach who TRIES to emphasize the running game. I predict that he will be predictably unpridictable and THAT'S WHAT I WANT. Try to emphasize the running game, but use what works, but DON'T BE PREDICABLE, with one single exception that's hardly even worth mentioning at this point: if you can consistantly be successfull while being predictable, like the Cowboys in the mid 90's and just shove it down the defense's throat, then THAT is an exception. Otherwise, don't freakin' be predictable.

edit: Not necessarilly saying the Cowboys were predictable--only sometimes when they knew they couldn't be stopped anyway. It's the Texans who've been predictable. Maybe that's why our RB is limping into the preseason.

I wanna meet you next time I drop by Austin, food sounds... like it needs help :=)

just curious, what part of Austin do you hang out at?
 
I like the fact that he knows exactly wants to do with this team. I really like his micro-management of the offense he's trying to put together. He has a clear vision of what he wants the offense to look like and be able to do. His hands-on approach with Carr has especially been refreshing. He also knows how to make each person accountable on offense.

This "perfectionist" attitude and tough love is really amazing and a stark contrast to the seemingly "laid-back" approach of the old regime. I'm not saying Capers was lazy or anything, but he probably demanded too much from his coaching staff and not enough from his players. It always seemed like "You let us handle this, you just do this" type of approach, which really dumbed the team down. Carr has never passed after an audible for gawd's sake! WTF! Capers just wasn't tough enough on players or his coaches.

And speaking of Kubiak's resume, I'm more impressed with history and influences than what he's done, as it's hard to tell how much credit Kubiak should take for all his winning seasons. Bill Walsh has produced a great line of head coaches. Shanahan, Holmgren, Andy Reid, Mike Sherman, Steve Mariucci have all been very capable head coaches at one time or another, and it looks like Kubiak is the next guy in line to the WCO family tree. Here's hoping that Kubiak continues the tradition. :)

He never did it the first half of that Cardinals game?

Anyway, you're right, that is terrible and there's that predictability that I've really grown to hate.
 
I like Kubiak because he took Mario Willaims instead of Bush or Young.

I'm not saying that because I think Bush or Young won't be good players or even because I think they will all be good but Mario will be better. I'm saying that because the whole world fell in love with those Sportscenter highlights of Reggie Bush returning punts for TDs and breaking guys' ankles. The whole state fell in love with the Houston boy leading Texas to a national championship and how could a former QB from Houston not bring Vince Young home? Kubiak believed in his system and believed in his new players. He didn't care about media scrutiny and he wasn't looking to immediately win the hearts and minds of the fans. He decided Mario Williams would help this team the most and he took him. Even if he turns out to be wrong, that is a swagger that this club has never had. That confidence and belief in this system will infect the entire franchise and ultimately result in a Superbowl.
 
All I wanted to do was watch this thread as it derailed even more on KT's dinner, but someone took away the popcorn smilie.

So, I hope you are now happy that I am forced into this situation. :shots:






I like Kubiak for several reasons, most if not all already posted. I am still somewhat baffled over the sweatshirt thing though. He must wear it as solidarity to the team...they suffer in the heat, he suffers in the heat. At least I hope that is why, because that is the only logical thing I can think of.
 
Filo alot of coaches wear sweatshirts during spring practice, two-a-days, and scorching heat. Not just for solidarity or leadership, but also because they want to burn weight and try to prolong whatever sexy they feel they have. On any given day you could see Kubiak and Rick Smith in sweatshirts, it is just what they do. It also means they dont end up looking like Andy Reid and the Big TUna.

Point taken, but it is still more on the brutal side to have to do this in Houston's atmosphere. I wouldn't wish that on a Jags fan.
 
i like him because he has spotted flaws in carr that capers and his staff had 4 years to do.

i also like him because he wont spoil carr. he's going to bust his arse into shape and abuse him rather than treat him like a fairy princess.

Actually, I still don't believe Capers see's the flaws. If you don't drive the carr you won't know how it drives. Pass Pass Pass, then draw play, play action, it all starts with the pass.

I pity the fool who can't understand the way Belichick expresses himself. You've never watched a Patriot's game in your life, have ya? Ever heard of the Doug Flutie dropkick?
