    Wade will formally interview tomorrow. He'll get job after formal interview. Wade wants to return to Houston. Bob/Gary both want him.

    McNair has completely lost me...and I put up with the Carr extension idiocy when he pulled the plug the following year.

    This year, when he was consumed with keeping it on the cheap (this season and the upcoming) because he's apparently the flagship owner at the negotiating table.....

    F Him.

    Been season ticket holder since the beginning, and attending every home game possible. As of now, I'm closing the wallet and putting it in my pocket until Drayton2 demonstrates he isn't going to Donald Sterling us.

    If he makes Wade Phillips Head Coach? I'm done, I'm out. DONE. OUT.

    Sounds like a tough interview.

    Glad to see the Texans are evaluating multiple candidates, talking to different people about personnel changes and defensive philosophies, what it would take to fix the defense, etc.

    I want to see them do well, and got my hopes up after the first 2 weeks. After week 2 we saw game in and game out the same thing we saw the last few years. The only difference was how incredibly bad the defense was. Coach not knowing the situation before making a playcall?? Unacceptable! Only 5 carries for the leagues leading rusher in the 2nd half of a game you lead for almost all of it? Unacceptable. Continually passing when you can't pass protect against a team you are having success running against and ran all up and down on in week one?? Inconceivable!

    Wow, Bob! WOW! Did you come up with that one all by yourself? Personally, I always thought that the defensive coordinator should be offensive minded and that the head coach should be a special teams kind of guy. I guess Frank Bush was more interested in running the hot dog stand and that's why it didn't work out. Thank you for setting me straight. I now see why you're the head honcho.

    you're right...

    before the season I said 8-8..wasn't drinking kool aid.

    i was drinking it pretty heavy when they were 2-0.

    fool me once....fool me 3 times, i'm a moron.

    I think in the last game even Kubiak learned the best thing he can do is just give it to Foster...Look for Foster to average 29 carries a game for 2320 yards next season as we finally make the playoffs...

    Yeah, I don't believe that **** for a second. Wherever McClain heard that, it wasn't from Lewis. It was probably just Kubiak or McNair using him to spread misinformation like they do at draft time.

    Stuff like that is why I thought he should be fired. Never playing to his team's strenghts or exploiting the other teams weakness. Hmmm..we're destroying this team on the ground, let me see if I can pass it this entire half. Oh No..I have to go look at the game film and see what I did wrong. :eek:



    From Kubiaks, The Art of Battlefighting:

    Article one- Always find Balance. Abandon whatever is working and try something new. Without balance, victory cannot be achieved.

    This really ticks me off. The rumors came out that Wade Phillips would be hired early last week. Bum Phillips publicly endorses Kubiak, which seems staged. Kubiak yesterday says that he hasnt talked to Wade but he'd be flexible to change defensive scheme, this is clearly a lie.

    Look I dont care what Bob does, that dude is the boss, but why go around treating people like they are stupid. Why not just say, "hey we're going with wade, like it or not".

    Report comes out that wade is hired. We are not idiots Bob. We knew this was coming, just have the b@lls to sit up there and tell it like it is. The Wade thing was setup since early last week. Its your team, you own it, you brought it here, just dont treat houston fan like they are idiots. Its one thing to have the most loyal fan base in the league, dont piss all over it with your lies.

    which is probably a good thing because mike singletary wouldve scared Bob and Nice guy Gary into hiring him.

    I'm really starting to consider turning into a Saints fan.

    This organization is a joke. It's more like a sad imbreed hick family that struck oil and now have money.
