I remain optimistic that he will resume his career. If Teddy Brewski can come back then I hope Kubes can also.
As someone who has been through multiple strokes (which caused loss of eye sight in one eye and partial paralysis) I am very sympathetic. It happened in 2011. I was out about six months (rehab. and all). I am back working part time. Still blind in one eye, but I can use my arms and legs now. Life goes on, but I don't think the should return anytime soon. He certainly doesn't need a high stress situation. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and I pray for his full recovery.
My wife's description is "tough ole bird." Let's just say I am very determined. I had a life threatening surgery three months ago. Many people on this board prayed for me, for which I am very grateful. I want to live as long as God intended me to. I desperately want to speak into the lives of my grandchildren who I absolutely adore. Anyway, onward and upward. Don't forget to pray for Kubiak's recovery, I am certain that he and his whole family are very concerned right now.
Respect, solid... ==== I bet last night was weird for a lot of Texan fans in this forum (and elsewhere)... Matt was tucked safely away on the bench; Gary was on a stretcher... and yet - the results looked eerily the same. Huh... In 2010, I was convinced it was personnel; the arrival of Wade Phillips changed my mind - and, frankly, they started to realize their potential. Now I'm back to thinking it's a personnel issue. They don't have enough quality depth (which means injuries are much more costly and, generally, the special teams units simply aren't as good) and they still seem to have a blindspot for seemingly important positions (safety, kicker - to name two constants that have plagued this regime). Kubiak's collapse (combined with Keenum's ascension) may have bought Gary another year. But I'd jettison Smith and get a non-pipeline GM in here to help Gary (re)construct this roster.
This is reminiscent of 1999 when Larry Dierker collapsed in the dugout during a game against the Padres. Hopefully it's nothing as serious as needing brain surgery and Kubes recovers quickly. This thread, IMO, is no place to discuss his job performance.
There are multiple other threads discussing his job performance. Why do you continue to be a jerk about it?
i just don't like holier than thou folks or fake internet police, mod wannabees, etc... also this is the Texans sub-forum to me it's fair game and more applicable content in this forum.
Who cares what you like. Your feelings about Kubiak, or about other posters are irrelevant in this thread.
btw..., did anybody have any issue with mcnair and smith staying to watch the game? i thought that was interesting.
Schefter: What we know right now is tests have come back normal today. He remains in the hospital. He is feeling good at this time. What remains less certain is when he'll be healthy enough to return to his team on the sidelines. Doctors are running tests to see why he collapsed on the field. They gave him IV medicine designed to break up blood clots consistent with people who suffer strokes but doctors have not found any evidence yet that he did suffer a stroke. Right now, Houston is hopeful he'll be back soon but they do not know the answer to that question yet.
They're not his family. If you have a heart attack where you work, do you expect your bosses to come with you to the hospital?

Very interesting. Sounds like out of all the possible ones he could have gotten, at least he got a mild one. All the best to the family.
Crazy, that was the first thing I thought of that he had a stroke, but it seemed too far fetched to mention. Thank goodness it was a minor stroke, but I guarantee he is feeling very confused about things right now. I can only imagine how many strokes we dodge in our lifetimes before a blood clot gets wedged in a small blood vessel in our brain. Our bodies are constantly fighting and dissolving small clots especially for those 40+, but they can catch you in your prime too (Serena Williams had a bad blood clot). Wishing him all the best.
