    Sumlin has the demeanor of a HC, very similar to Mike Tomlin and I like Tomlin.

    If it is somebody like Sumlin, he's has to surround himself with veteran coordinators with a proven track record.

    About 4 years ago I never would have said this.If Keenum is what he appears to be, I want Kubiak to stick around. In a game and a half with him calling plays, the playbook was more open and the offense looked dynamic and that was just with a passing game. With healthy Foster I bet it becomes even more dynamic. Give them a chance to bolster up the o line and get some linebackers this draft and we may be right back in the mix for sb contention. The only problem is Kubiak needs to keep scoring. Don't stop trying to score unless the game is officially out of reach. I can't stand that he eats clock even up 1 score.

    No, no, no, Kubiak's got to go. If Keenum can't prosper under a different coach, then maybe he's not as good as we think. To bring Kubiak back would be the equivalent of McNair tattooing the word - No Accountability - on his forehead, so let's stop with this nonsense about bringing Kubiak back. He must be fired.

    Jack Del Rio a defensive minded head coach and Brian Schottenheimer as the off coor.

    Starting RB IR
    Backup RB hurt
    Starting TE IR
    Starting LT was out for a few weeks
    Starting ILB IR
    Starting S IR​

    "I had just not seen anything like this! This was unbelievable but we still went out there and fought!"

    Things were bad even before the injuries. Kubiak has a great system, but his conservative nature limits the teams success. Much like Schaub, we have seen the ceiling that Kubes offers and it's just time to move on.

    That just isn't true. Kubiak has been agressive this year, but has not had a qb that will make the throws.

    A lot of that has been a function of having to comeback so much this season.

    Granted Keenum offered a more aggressive look to start the Colts game than we have seen this season. But even when the offense looked unstoppable two seasons ago, once we built a lead Gary would just crawl into his shell and go ultra conservative.

    That's just his philosophy, no way around it. I am not trying to pile on either guy while they are down, I have just seen enough.

    Teams that tack it on after they have a lead are the New England Patriots/Denver Broncos....

    Everyone else in the league plays conservative. Kubiaks record is very very good with the lead in the second half.

    IF Kubiak keeps his job, I see that he will have to fire a lot of his staff. He needs a real OC, not an O-line coach with the OC title.

    But if my wish comes true for a clean house, I would love to get David Shaw up in this hizzy.

    If the Texans do clean house...it becomes paramount to decide what we are doing with Case...if he is the QB we are gonna build around, we have to find ways to put him in a scheme, system where he'll have success.. Sumlin would be nice...but Chip Kelly will be the first to tell you, his success he had in Oregon doesn't necessarily translate.

    Sumlin would help Keenum a lot bc a coach like Sumlin has already established a trust factor in his player to be able to deliver. There is no question that Case can be successful, but maybe its time to scrap and restart again.

    If you do decide to clean house...everyone should go...and really the Texans should consider trading their best player ever...in Andre. We have so many hole to fill...and the Texans can atleast give this beast a chance to win a title with a QB like Brady or Manning. Infact, I would seriously root for Andre going to New England and play with Tom.

    The RB situation is interesting, but maybe we do have to cut Foster and let Tate walk..but are we as a city prepared to have another bad year after this one?

    There are so many players that deserve to be cut on this team, and wouldve been on most other teams. But who do you replace anyways? Rarely do teams just improve via draft alone. And the Texans may not have a ton of flexibility to maneuver the cap space.

    If the Texans clean house, they should totally look to rebuild. Start with the Duane Brown for the OLine and JJWatt on the DLine, and build. Use Kareem Jackson and Swearinger to build around the secondary...Build around Hopkins and Foster on offense.

    Bring in a young Defensive minded HC(i like the Gruden brothers) and let Sumlin run the offense. Almost 13 years into the league, and there isnt a staple Texans "thing." Im so frustrated... years of futility sucks...we deserve a title. And this town would go crazy for an NFL title. When will it happen? I dont know, but i think ill still keep rooting for this team..and will be watching next Sunday against Oakland.

    Go Texans
