Sponsored Post -- Vicks: Who Powered Through -- NFL Gameday Remedies For NFL Fans

PrintLike most Texans fans, I have a fever. Instead of the cure being the (more) cowbell, which has drowned out our senses and led to things like "not running the ball down the throat of one of the worst run defenses in the league," or the now forgotten "punting down 13 with six minutes left on the clock." I believe the remedy to be a few bottles of Vicks and a new head coach. So let's go way into the wayback machine and take a look at the candidates:
The more I get a look at Leslie Frazier's resume, the less I'm convinced that he'd be a good head coach. He's suddenly the mastermind of a defense that can't get any sacks with a front four that includes Jared Allen, Ray Edwards, and Kevin Williams? Yeesh. I mean, I'm sure his vision would be better than Frank Bush's, but that's damning with praise so faint that Bernard Pollard might not even lose it in coverage.
I'm still big on Sean McDermott, who has yet to coach a defense that hasn't cracked FO's Top 10 in DVOA, and John Fox, who I feel is creating useful defensive schemes in Carolina over and over again only to have his offense muck them up. Come to think of it, if we could somehow just fuse Kubiak and Fox into one head coach, Kubox might be the best coach in the NFL.
I threw this around the BRB mailing list and I think the only couple of new names that came up were Jim Harbaugh and Mike Mularkey. Do you have a dark horse in this race?
At this point, I just figured we were going to have a ton of posts this week about what a failure Gary Kubiak was in his last game and how we're going nowhere, etc. So why not get something proactive going out of it? Who do you want to take the reins of the Houston Texans that is a realistic candidate to coach here? Who would you want as your main coordinator to accentuate your head coaches weaknesses?

A poll (pole) would be a must.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

I still think Leslie Frazier is the guy.
One down year does not mean much. That line is getting older too,lets be honest.
I take him first.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets three defensive players? THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpWqMqrZwTU
No way McNair fires Kubes.
Think about how he’s gone to bat for the guys this season:
-Upping AJ’s contract when he didn’t have to.
-Trying to push some stupid “overtrained athlete syndrome” on Roger Goodell.
He sticks to Kubiak, I bet.
And if I recall, I believe when Kubes got his extension it was stated he gets to pick his staff. Anybody have any more info on that? Sounds like Bush gets to stay as long as Gary wants him.
My nominees.
For defensive coordinator, I say one of the following:
Mike Singletary
John Fox
Wade Phillips
Rob Ryan
For head coach:
Perry Fewell
Marvin Lewis (If he’s fired from Cincy)
John Fox (wouldn’t object to that if we got a competant OC w/ him)
and for a curveball…June Jones (if we get a competant DC w/ him).
I am a visionary, I am a genius, and now I am angry! Now help me find my pants!
Here are my choices:
Head coaches:
Pittsburgh d-coordinator
New Orleans D- coordinator
Offensive coordinator
Rex “fuck it im going deep” Grossman
Someone with a brain who can take advantage of the running game and the 3rd through 5th wide receivers on the team. Also has to utilize screens and counters.
Defensive coordinator
Albert Haynesworth
So many people have been asking for him so at this point why not hire him for a position that he can contribute to? I think he is someone who can adjust successfully to the opponents game plan and who can teach how to blitz properly.
Special teams
Marciano has been pretty good and at this point anyone is an improvement over Slaton. Plus he uses the leftovers from the offense and defense to build his unit and we have never completely sucked under his guidance. He stays ….for now
General Manager
Freddy Age 6
Someone who can continue to find good value in the later picks and who can bring guys that can contribute in a positive way on this team. No more guys taking flinstones vitamins and then failing every ped test because of it.

Kyle Shannahan?
probably too young, but if he was brought in alongside an experienced D Coordinator I would be intrigued.
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.'
Family lineage bodes well
Every Harbaugh has been successful so far. I’d go that way.
John Fox pls
I had to watch every single Panthers game when I went to Appalachian State (mostly because my Houstonian roommate hated them so much) and yeah, the guy knows his job well. He’d be an enormous upgrade over what we have now.
With that said, I don’t see Kubes getting fired unless we go at the very minimum 6-10.
