Kubiak to coach Dallas Texans
January 23, 2006
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Denver Broncos offensive co-ordinator Gary Kubiak is to become the Dallas Texans's head coach, owner Bob McNair said.
Breaking News Alerts "I look forward to getting Gary down here," McNair told a Houston news conference on Sunday after the Broncos lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the American Football Conference (AFC) playoffs in Denver.
NFL rules prohibit teams from hiring coaches on playoff teams until their season is complete.
"We'll get together this week and get all that wrapped up," McNair added.
Kubiak confirmed on Sunday he would be heading to Houston.
"My emotions are going crazy right now," the Houston native told the Rocky Mountain News as he left Denver's stadium.
"You hate to see it end like this. It's so disappointing to lose, but I'm excited about the new opportunity to come to Houston and fulfill a dream I've had for quite some time."
Kubiak, 44, a former Broncos quarterback, had been Denver's offensive coordinator for 11 seasons.
McNair said Kubiak's background as an offensive coach would be helpful to the Texans, who fired coach Dom Capers after a 2-14 season.
"I think the biggest challenge we have is from the standpoint of putting together an effective offense," McNair said of the young franchise, which began play in 2002.
