Gary Kubiak fired

Recommended Posts

How did the Texans go from so good to so bad so fast?  That's crazy.

 

 

Well,they started the season with two wins then the shakiness at the QB  position, along with injuries to TE Owen Daniels, S Danieal Manning, LB Brian Cushing and RB  Arian Foster helped to cripple to club,leading to an elven game losing streak.

 

This paved the ouster of  HC Gary Kubiak  who had a  61-64 record, with a 2-2 mark in the postseason.

The injuries to Cushing and Foster were big, and Daniels is good too... but I still don't see this epic collapse just from that.

 

 

if you have no QB, you have no chance in the NFL, no matter how wondrous a coach you are. Schaub has been a productive and playoff-worthy QB in this league, and Kubiak  seemed helpless to restore Schaub's game and stabilize Houston's rapidly sinking season. It would be ironic if Kubiak was hired in large part because he knew his way around the game's most pivotal position, and then was fired because he couldn't fix the fatal flaws of his own starter, dragging down his entire team in the process.

 

The immensely talented but woefully underachieving Houston  team had sprung multiple leaks and sank lower and lower, with problems that involved more than just shaky quarterbacking. For starters, what happened to the Texans' once-dominant defense that coordinator Wade Phillips had breathing fire for most of the past two seasons? Like Kubiak, Phillips as a head coach in Denver, Buffalo and Dallas often struggled to stop the bleeding once his teams started losing. The problem-solving skills of both coaches had left a lot to be desired this year.

 

But when the sky starts falling, that's exactly when a coach is expected to find solutions and execute some season-saving maneuvers that help his team find its way out of its funk. The best ones figure out how to get the losing streak stopped, and start piecing the puzzle back together as quickly as possible.Undoubtly Kubiak couldn't do that.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
