You do realize that if Bush goes, it is practically 10000000000% certain this guy goes with him as part of his staff, right?
The thing I can feel less terrible about is, no matter if Kubiak gets canned or not, the entire D staff is gone come Jan 3rd.
yep. I'll we watching sportscenter hoping to see this announcement. no way you keep them after the crapshoot that's happened so far this season.
Two MAJOR and HIGHLY VISIBLE Defensive Secondary FAILS in as many weeks. Someone HAS to be fired. Rocket River
These events bring back memories of the aftermath of the Bills/Oilers in 93. No it wasn't a chronic thing, but it was just as visible. Heads will roll.
I want them(D coaches at least) gone so that whoever they get to come in here and get it going can start changing the mentality and focus TODAY. Don't want to start fresh in camp. I want it changed now. Sure, this year may be lost, but I don't want to have growing pains that can come from inexperience within the system to start the year.
NBC's Harrison on Texans' defensive coaches: It's firing time The Texans are making it too easy for Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison, the analysts on NBC's Sunday Night Football, to do their jobs. After the final-play loss to Jacksonville last week, once again the Texans teed it up for Dungy and Harrison by the manner in which they lost a game in the final seconds, 30-27 to the Jets. The analysts focused this time on the 42-yard pass to Jets receiver Braylon Edwards that set up Mark Sanchez's final touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes. Both men argued that with the clock running down, the Texans' DBs should have played to the outside, forcing the Jets receivers into the middle of the field so that even if a pass were completed, New York might have had difficulty in getting to the line for another play. "There's no way, with no timeouts and that short of time, you can't let a guy catch the ball on the sideline," Dungy said. "All those defenders should have been outside, protecting the sidelines. Make them throw the ball in the middle of the field." Harrison agreed, then moved in for the kill shot. "This happened two weeks in a row," he said. "Somebody on that defensive side of the ball needs to get fired." Texans play-by-play guy Marc Vandermeer wasn't quite that blatant, but after Edwards caught the pass, he moaned, "How can that happen? No way." The rhetoric got pretty heated, too, on KILT's (610 AM) postgame talk show. I particularly enjoyed it when, following every highlight clip that featured a Texans touchdown or big play, co-host Brad Davies, said, "Whoop-ti-do," as if to indicate that it eventually was much ado about nothing. I'm not sure I'm inviting N.D. Kalu, who wondered aloud if Ray Rhodes, his former boss with the Eagles, could be convinced to come in as defensive coordinator, and incumbent Frank Bush to the same Thanksgiving party, either. http://blogs.chron.com/sportsmedia/2010/11/nbcs_harrison_on_texans_defens.html
Can't fire the players. What's gone on the last 3 weeks and pretty much all season is inexcusable. Someone must be held accounable. Here's to hoping that we hear good news in the morning. Reliant better be empty Sunday if they don't do anything.
He looks more like "Man I hope no one realizes I just have a famous dad and in reality have no idea wtf i am doing."
How can you expect a guy to make a play when the Jets are going to run a multiple receiver set and all you have are two safeties splitting the deep of a 53 yard wide field? This is as idiotic as having your corners in press coverage of the Jaguar hail mary, and he's blaming his players to boot.
Didn't get to see the game but I had a WTF moment watching the highlights when I saw our DBs giving a 5 yard cushion on the 4 yard line while sending all of our LBs on the blitz on the Edwards TD.
that was spectacular, right? i'm not kidding...i think a junior high kid who just played his first year at linebacker, corner or safety would understand that's an awful idea. we're talking about very very basic schemes here. so basic they're more like fundamental rules for a football defense.
Dear Mr. Bush, I don't hate you. I don't even know you. I don't wish bad things to happen to you or your family or your house like others in here. That's pretty classless. That said, please leave. It's not personal. It's strictly football (you know...that game you're paid quite well to coach?). It's become quite clear that you have done little this season to earn said paycheck. You have created possibly the worst secondary of all time. No one seems to know where to be at any given moment. Yes, they are professionals...but you are the coach. The one who installs the game plan. The one who comes up with the schemes. How the f*** does Eugene Wilson not know to take away the outside when the other team has no timeouts left? Coaching. Actually...piss poor coaching. So, in conclusion, it's not personal. Please don't get hit by a car. Just kindly pack your s*** and GTFO. Thanks.
- good point on a coach who's doing a horrible, horrible job and not getting much public flack about it. - BOOOO for playing the race card. Are you kidding me? That is such horse crap. Lower-level coaches hardly ever get talked about, even though they should (for both good jobs and bad jobs). It is very astute of you to point that out. Bush is getting creamed because he's the DC and that's part of the job (and because it's deserved, tyvm). It has nothing whatsoever to do with race. Can we pretty please get out of the 20th century already?
it is the def. coord. responsibility but the secondary coach sux too...but honestly, the players suck...
