    Let me restate this again both Kubiak and McDaniels are plain OC not able to handle the complexities of running a entire team. Nothing wrong with either coach but they just aren't head coach material. The sooner the Texans come to this realization the better off this team will. Don't take it that I'm trying to pile on Kub for a minute, no he is a great offensive mind and that's why we are one the top offenses in the league. However Kubiak has no idea how to use his defense to maximize the players ability and hide their weakness. Handing over those duties to a DC like Bush isn't going to solve the problem. The NFL today is about having a strong defense and putting your priority on that goal. Unfortunately for Kubiak, he is only effective as an OC that is where is excels. So the Texans need to stop kidding around with this current state Kubiak prolonging his stay.

    Bottom line hire a COMPLETE coach and let Kubiak remain as the OC.

    I was ready to give up on Kubiak in the middle of the year. Currently, I'm ready to let him prove his case in a contract year.

    So basically you're saying that most coaches with an OC background can't succeed as HC, nor can they have a great defense...

    The following former and current head coaches would disagree.

    Brian Billick
    Norv Turner
    Bill Walsh
    Mike Holmgrene
    Mike McCarthy
    Ken Wisenhunt
    Brad Childress
    Andy Reid

    Now, if you're saying we need better/more proven defensive minds in the coaching staff, I'm all for it. We've devoted a lot of coaching resources to the offensive side (namely, paying decent money for Alex Gibbs as an offensive line coach). Time to get the defense an ideology.

    Ironically, the offense's ineptitude in the red zone and tendency to turn the ball over there is probably the biggest culprit in us not making the playoffs. The defense is on the verge of becoming easily a top 10 defense with the addition of a good DT and a replacement for Dunta.

    As I said in this thread, history goes against Kubiak getting us to the next step if he did not do it this season. However, he was so close and we were just a couple of plays away from it that I'm willing to let him have one more shot. Next year is do or die for him.

    Here's what I've noticed...especially this year:

    There are just some people out there who have decided that they don't like Gary Kubiak. Plain and simple. So, they decide to take to the message boards and post crap like this (read above). And, like a complete idiot...I decide to click on the thread. Finally, I end up apologizing to myself for wasting my time reading it (referring to the above mentioned pile of fecal matter). So, I might as well waste someone else's time by replying. :rolleyes:

    I dont have much faith in Kubiak at all but you have to admit he's a better coach than McDaniels. That dude should be out after one season. When your players hate you after one season thats not a good sign.

    Mcnair hired him cause he was an OC, and a awesome one at that when he was with Denver. I kind of lost respect from him right from the get go cause he said David Carr could lead us to the Super Bowl in his interview. But year after year the Texans has gotten better and if the Texans did get another coach, they would be going backwards. Losing Kyle to his Dad is gonna hurt a little. With the way the Texans play with him as the OC, I wonder why Mcnair won't offer him more money to stay.

    I don't think money would change Kyles mind.
    He just wants to coach with daddy.

    Could you kindly point out the head coaches who are experts on offense, defense and special teams? I'll hang up and listen.
