he leaves McNair no choice but to hold him completely accountable for the team’s string of disappointing defeats. The Texans need a personality makeover, and no better way to do that than to bring in a new field general.

We could trade Mario and Demeco for a couple of first and couple of third rounders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo!

What cubic says.

As Gary says, “It’s all on him.” It’s not on his stupid corner who celebrates a tackle while losing. It’s not on the same corner who showed up the team with his shoes while we got thumped by a team that isn’t that good. It’s not on his erratic offensive line that struggles to give Schaub some breathing room. It’s not on the countless penalties which kill drives or give teams great field position. It’s not on the 1st round DL who can’t get a consistent pass rush.

Gary is protecting these guys. He benched Slaton while he dealt with his fumble issues, but why is he not holding players accountable? Why is he always sitting there game after game saying “It’s all on me.”

But the issue here is Cowher. The no nonsense proven winner who can instill toughness and discipline here. The guy who won’t tolerate the crap we’ve seen week after week.

His system? Will he bring a 3-4 and a power running game to Houston? Who knows? He was in Pittsburgh where they have done that since day 1. Maybe he adjusts to the talent here? We don’t know what exactly he’d do to our roster. Fact is, we’re a mediocre football team (of course, we could finish 10-6 and a bunch of us would be proven wrong, but that’s besides the point) and mediocre means nothing is untouchable.

People are whining that we can’t change to the 3-4. Why the hell not? The Packers JUST did that. They are in the top 10 in NFL defenses. They drafted their NT (BJ Raji), they drafted another LB (Clay Matthews), they picked up some FAs, and they switched some people around (some to good success, some to bad) but their defense is top 10. Ray Lewis made the switch to a 3-4, so did Patrick Effin’ Willis. Good ILBs can stay good. If DeMeco is as good as he’s shown then what’s there to worry about?

Again, this is premature since we’ve no idea what Bill Cowher would bring to Houston because…he’d have to hire a defensive coordinator. Why do people want Cowher? Because he won’t tolerate this crap we see. Because he knows how to coach a team to play consistent football. Cowher knows what it takes to win and get to the playoffs year after year. Why Cowher? Because the product I see needs a kick in the ass to win.

Will Cowher change anything right away? No. he stands on the sidelines. but his influence, decisions, and spit frothing mouth would generate results within a year or 2 and exeptional results within 3-4 years depending on how FA’s and Drafted players pan out (and with Smith, i’m not worried about our drafts). If we had Cowher he would GET a good players for his scheme or motivate the current players to reach their potential which Kubiak isn’t doing.

Kubiak shows by his record that he is an average head coach. he is good at some things, bad at others. would you prefer more average, or (hypothetically if history repeats itself) 1 year of harsh decline as we transition the team to 3-4 and then 2 years to get players to fill it out and within 4 years be a heavy playoff contender? (not due to players or scheme but because of leadership) Also the rebuilding period wouldn’t be as bad as you think because my guess is Cowher knows how to get his players to play and be ready. something Kubiak is woefully lacking in.

I think Mario would drastically lose some of his impact. he would truly be the only hard loss. Demeco Ryans would be just fine. he’s great in coverage and run stopping and God knows hes a good blitzer who gets the chance oh so seldom

If losing Mario Williams for picks or w/e would improve the team in the long run, i’d do it wouldnt you? The team is more important than the individual.

this is hypothetical. just wondering: Would you guys rebuild for a couple years or hope kubiak manages to beat the colts and titans enough each year to have a shot at the divison / playoffs?
