Look out football, here we come, Houston Oilers, number one. Houston has the Oilers, the greatest football team. We take the ball from goal to goal like no one's ever seen. We're in the air, we're on the ground ... always in control And when you say the Oilers, you're talking Super Bowl. 'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One. Yes, we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One. We've got the offense. We've got the defense. We give the other team no hope. 'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, You know we're gonna hold the rope.
Just some snippets from John McClain. Not that you should take them for anything?! Rumors all over. Friend of mine said Sherman a done deal. I said no way. Sherman a class act. Wont ever talk about Kubiak and his job as long as Kubiak has it. They're close friends. Other said Parcells. Not happening. I'll be surprised if he is fired. Dont believe both Rick and Gary will be fired. If I had to bet, I wouldnt bet the house. What I do is write different versions if something is imminent. I'll have one that says Gary is back, one that says Gary is gone and then have it posted immediately. You have to be careful. You want to get it up and out there first. I'm gonna have it both ways. Last game has no bearing. We'll have a draft in April. No player movement If Gary fired, Rick would be GM and conduct search. Rick would recommend to Bob who to hire. Only coach who wants control is Cowher. Everyone else had a GM. Cowher would want house cleaned. Whatever you do, gotta do it fast. Move quick. Wildcard is Harbaugh though not a candidate here. McNair a patient guy. He can find silver lining in anything. People close to him said he would not fire Kubiak. Put a gun to my head, he's staying. McNair knows. He'll wait until after season. If he(Bob) thinks we're close, why would he change the HC? Cant justify 5-11 I think he wont fire him. I thought after that game he wouldnt keep Kubiak McNair doesnt care about what people think nationally Texans dont get same respect from refs because they suck. Need to spend more money this offseason. You can go listen to the full podcast
Was it this last year when someone basically laughed at McClain and admitted that they used him to disseminate false information on draft day?
This is what is going to piss me off the most when we inevitably blow our chance to get Cower. He's the only one who gets it.
I can't remember the last time a head coach was hired before the draft in an offseason. That is the only thing that gives me hope, usually an existing GM/personnel staff will handle the draft on their way out... then the coach is hired a month or two after that, and they start getting their staff together for training camp. I can't imagine Bill Cowher will be in a hurry to sign a contract between the Superbowl and the draft... that negotiation could take forever. think about it... season ends Jan 3rd... Superbowl is Feb 5th or so... draft is mid-april.... so in order for Cowher to participate in the draft, he would have to be hired, and assemble his staff/scouts, by basically early March at best... I can't see that happening. What I can see is Smith and Co doing this draft, then Cowher getting hired sometime in May or June. Smith would *never* recommend/promote Cowher as a coach, since it would basically be putting him out of a job... but I bet Bob McNair will independently pursue Cowher... and if Cowher and McNair agree on something, then Smith is done... if they can't, then it will be Smith's choice of who the next HC is...
McClain has ZERO idea of whats going on, he is flip flopping to save his own ass...just like someone else mentioned above.
All the teams that replaced their head coaches after last season (Redskins-Shanahan, Seahawks-Carroll, Bills-Gailey) made their hires in January. When the Texans fired Dom Capers, they hired Kubiak in January.
In other words, McClain is a reactionary boob with no insider information whatsoever just riding on his reputation as "The General" (aka a guy who knew something at one time back in the 80s about the Oilers).
Adam Schefter seems to believe the same thing... AdamSchefter We think alike RT @McClain_on_NFL I think Kubiak and GM Rick Smith will return. I think DC Frank Bush, DB coach David Gibbs will be fired.
***NEWSFLASH*** My sources tell me that Gary Kubiak may or may not be fired before or after the Jacksonville game. Developing...
