Bob McNair: Kubiak is Doing a Good Job

Some quotes that the Fire Kubiak bandwagon may find interesting in the paper this morning from team owner Bob McNair...
On firing Kubiak:
"That’s not how we run this ship. Gary’s doing a good job. Replacing him doesn’t help you catch more balls. You’re always going to be criticized if you don’t win every game. That’s just part of it. If you win, the criticism goes away. I think he’s doing fine. He’s not out there making the blocks and catching the ball, and that’s what hurt us. If you replace the coach, will it be easier for the guy who missed the block to make it? I don’t think so. If he was making bad decisions, if he wasn’t managing the team and if the players weren’t playing hard, that would be cause for concern. But our players are playing hard."
On making the playoffs:
"We have to look at it on the basis of what is our team doing and how do we go about improving our chances to be in the playoffs? That’s what we focus on. I’m disappointed we didn’t win Sunday because we certainly could have. That’s the bad news. The good news is we’re 4-4, and we’re one game out of first place with half the season ahead of us."
On the unhappiness of the fans:
"We haven’t missed the playoffs. I don’t know why they’re upset at this point. … We’ve got a long way to go. Indianapolis lost Sunday. We still have Jacksonville and Tennessee to play twice. That’s going to determine the outcome. We’ve got to win these division games."
On the Texans' atrocious defense:
"I think once we get our defense playing a little better, it’ll take pressure off our offense, and our offense is one of the best in the league. I think our defense will improve. I think we have a lot to look forward to during the second half of the season."
I'm no universal translator or anything, but a lot of this to me sounds like it can be translated to ".500 will keep Gary employed." And it sounds like Frank Bush will get to stay until at least the end of the season. Not that this is shocking...it just killed the microscopic ray of hope I had left...

My translation
McNair isn’t going to make any decisions until after the season is over and saying anything confrontational right now doesn’t solve anything. So get ready for another two months of politically correct, beige answers.
If Kubes were to somehow turn this around and make the playoffs, he’ll probably save his job.
If the team continues to regress and ends up below .500, he’ll probably be gone.
Its also pointless to fire him
When we have no viable replacement. Nobody on this team is worth putting in as the interim head coach. Like it or not Kubiak is our best option until the end of the season.
Can't disagree with this point
Biggity, good one. Many feel the situation is futile, but that is what it is. Can’t really fire him now. Can’t think of a good reason to go from crappy option to totally crappy option. Agreed. Can’t see promoting from within. Kubiak took care of himself there. Hiring bum assistants pretty much makes it impossible to get fired. The OC and DC aren’t candidates for Head Coach. Kubiak got us there. I wish someone like Cowher would just come forward and volunteer himself to act as interim coach. Yeh, I know, that won’t happen….
I dub the jaguars..... untelevised!
Eh, they're asking him after the wrong game.
He blew it in Indy, but he called a great game against San Diego. That game was lost on dropped passes, Kareem Jackson blown coverage, and a fluke interception off of Andre’s knee.
Also, firing anybody midway through the season—even Frank Bush—is counterproductive. You fire a coach when you have no hope left and you want to make a point; not when you’re sitting at .500.
Who is available?
Is there any defensive coach on staff right now who would be able to take over? Its one thing to fire him, another to actually replace him.
I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! That one... too fat! This one... too tall! This one... too symmetrical!
Don't fire him
Hire someone to be Asst. HC, Defense. To help and guide Frank Bush.
Assmass alone does not a NT make.
Does it matter?
Second defense in modern NFL history to allow 24+ points in each of the first 8 games of the season.

Ditto
What Rivers said.
At this point, a message needs to be sent. Half a season is a large enough sample size.
Thats great
who takes over though? Kubiak isn’t going to do that if he can’t answer that question, and no one seems to have any real ideas who could take over right now.

let's bring in Wade Phillips to run the defense!
He could spruce up our D unit; and in doing so, this would also completeley frustrate the Dallas fan base. A “win” on the field, and in the PR department.
Wade and Koobs were once part of the Denver organizatiobn together, so there’s that whole “comfort zone” aspect.
True, 3-4 defense is his specialty… regardless, I believe Wade would help this defense… which means this will never happen, of course…
They didn't allow 24 against Indy.
But yes, they’re quite bad.
Yes we did, in both contests.
34-24 in game one, 17-30 in game two.
I think he's referring to the fact that...
the offense gave up a pick 6 in game 2.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I wouldn't say he called a great game
It was a good game but the two 4th down plays backfired in a big way.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
True....
but those are the calls that if they work you’re a brilliant gambler and if they don’t, you’re a moron.
I actually can’t disagree with either of those calls….to go for it….don’t necessarily agree with the choice of play called, but I think it was a good idea to go for it.

and with all the PSL and long term contracts still rolling through to next season (for those of us dumb enough to buy into a 10 year commitment), his ticket sales are solid and not reflective of the fan’s frustration. I can tell you that the faces in my section who have been long time “never missed a home game” crowd have changed a lot in recent games which means people are dumping their faith and tickets and doing something else with their time.
*INSERT any activity on grass*......and Kareem Jackson will fall down
It may have been a sell out in ticket sales last week
But certainly not with butts in seats. Plenty of empty seats in the stadium.
I noticed that too, it seemed very empty and quiet compared to most home games
and for the first time I don’t remember hearing them announce it as a sold out crowd, unless I missed it when I was throwing up in the men’s room after one of the bombs to “barely competent receiver” for the Chargers.
barely competent receiver...
That shit is funny.

What I read into this is:
McNair will be a gentleman and not fire anyone mid-season, if nothing else just to appear to take the high road vs Jerry, but also that is really Bob’s style anyway. It also really won’t fix anything. This team doesn’t need an overhaul. It is really close to coming together with some adjustments and individual improvements. That’s all part of having such a young team. Can you imagine the multi-year run the Texans can enjoy if these “kids” get their shit together and start dominating on both sides of the ball?
Their performance in the upcoming division games will be tied to any coaching “adjustments” after the season. If Kubiak calls good games and wins 3 out of 4 vs Jags/Tits, he’s probably safe regardless of the rest of the season.
If Bush’s defense continues to allow every team to thrash them and the Texans lose more than one upcoming division game as a result (assuming the offense did their part to win), I’d say Bush is gone after the last game of the season. Far too many elements on defense are dismal (big deep ball threat with NO coverage over the top to help KJ, terrible tackling across the board, lack of any pass rush, etc). If they improve these three areas and win 3 out of 4 division games, and finish 9-7 or better AND make the playoffs, he has a chance to keep his job (maybe).
*INSERT any activity on grass*......and Kareem Jackson will fall down
I can understand his comments regarding Kubiak to some extent.
But?
I think our defense will improve. I think we have a lot to look forward to during the second half of the season.
I would like to know what McNair is smoking.

Well we always have each Sunday to look forward to a meltdown.
I am sure it will happen soon, because we still play the Jets, Ravens, Eagles and the Titans twice. Is there a chance at least one of two of those games will be a blow out loss?
I wonder how his (McNair) tune will change after those games, because we won’t beat any of those four teams the way we are playing now.
Meltdowns are not good for alcohol sales

All else in the game being the same
Foster rolls, we win 30 – 29. It was the right call just as it was in week one for the Lions. I’m not saying Foster cost us the game. The defense cost us the game again, pure and simple. They got burned deep several times and the Bolts would have had one more easy TD if Rivers hadn’t overthrown a ball. But I think Kubs is doing a good job with what he has and I hope he keeps his job for at least two more years, regardless of the outcome of this season. Also, consider that AJ has hinted that a coaching change with highly displease him.
Seriously?
You hope Kubiak keeps his job for at least two more years, regardless of outcome this season? Look as a fairly even keeled fan of all things Houston I am very much against knee-jerk reactions in the realm of team management but to say Kubiak should keep his job regardless of the outcome this season…..well I simply can’t comprehend that logic. Maybe it’s the Aggie in me but that seems overly generous and loyal to a fault (and even the Aggie in me is getting tired of Kubiak’s consistent mediocrity year after year). Am I saying he needs to go pronto? No way, half a season remains so let’s see how things play out.
And as far as Kubes doing the best with what he has, let us not forget Rick Smith was Gary Kubiak’s personal choice for GM.
Rob Schneider was an animal. Then he was a woman. And now Rob Schneider is... a stapler! And he's about to find out that being a stapler is harder than it looks. Rob Schneider is… "The Stapler". Rated PG-13.
You could have Buddy Ryan...
…and this collection of defensive idiots couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. Frank Bush may indeed be an idiot but the players eventually have to come in for some criticism.
PS – McNair didn’t say Kubiak was safe for eternity, he simply said what is prudent: the season isn’t over by a long shot so I’m going to back them until that is mathematically impossible.
"Eat Well, Stay Fit, Die Anyway" - Ancient Chinese Proverb
Agreed to an extent
Who knows what Buddy Ryan could do with this collection of average players augmented by abysmal ones but at least Ryan would have come in with a track record so that you could figure out if our problems are solely scheme/coaching or are our players just not good enough? I understand Kubiak sticking to what he knows for his hires (the Shanahan Tree) but there is only so much fruit, so to speak, to be picked before, you need to find new sources. Would an experienced DC make a difference? Who knows, but the previous one and Bush have failed thus far. Besides Sean Peyton looked outside his football circle to bring in Gregg Williams, and that worked out pretty good (for a season at least).
And going back to my initial post, I think Rick Smith (and by extension, Gary Kubiak) should take a lot of the heat for this team’s lack of playmakers on the defense.
It almost seems like we need to look into adding a “Defensive” Specialist GM to assist Rick Smith in his player selections/signings.
Rob Schneider was an animal. Then he was a woman. And now Rob Schneider is... a stapler! And he's about to find out that being a stapler is harder than it looks. Rob Schneider is… "The Stapler". Rated PG-13.
This ^
and Buddy Ryan would probably try something else. Simplifying the playbook has been the only approach Frank Bush has tried, and it hasn’t worked. A better DC can arguably do a better job at hiding the weakness of players with a different scheme and more variations, and will be a better evaluator of talents and requirements regarding personnel the defensive side of the ball.
You just have to look at our offense for a comparison. Other than AJ, and maybe Foster if he can keep up his production, not a single player would qualify as elite. Still, we are running the second best offense in the league as per DVOA.
Assmass alone does not a NT make.
My understanding
is that we did speak with Gregg Williams (or at least his agent) and Williams opted for New Orleans because of family connections. That said, Frank Bush is on record as being Kubiak’s preferred DC from the off, so it’s a moot point.
The point you make about eliminating the DC as possible reason for our poor performance is sound methodology, but there are outliers. Look no further than Wade Phillips who had an outstanding record as a DC and even as a HC his first three seasons in Dallas. However, if you tell me that Wade could come in here and work with significantly less talent on the defensive side of things and get results I will have to politely disagree.
"Eat Well, Stay Fit, Die Anyway" - Ancient Chinese Proverb
Agree
No I don’t think Wade could come in here and get better results. We simply don’t have enough consistent playmakers on the defense to cover up for our glaring deficiencies and that’s kind of sad after all of the picks spent on the defense. And that’s why I think Rick Smith/Kubiak/the Hamburglar/whoever is making our personnel decisions has done a mediocre job at best.

Goooood.
It’s spreading.
I hear a lot of people talking about all of the talent we have on defense. But really, in a season in which Mario has only shown up for two games, Cushing missed four games then switched positions and hasn’t made a difference, and now DeMeco is out for the season… Where’s the talent? There are less game-changers right now than there are “MUST REPLACE” red flags.
And as much as we like to complain about the scheme for being so basic, what does it say if the players can’t even execute this simple scheme properly? Bringing in a new defensive coordinator might vault this defense from horrible to bad. But the next step hinges on bringing in the right players.
Is it really the players, the scheme, or the coaching?
I’m sorry but all of these players know football. Why do experienced defensive backs simply move to spot in zone coverage then just stand there? It’s a zone and you are supposed to cover players who are in that zone, not just stand there and watch the quarterback without moving. I’m sorry but I have to put all (ok most) of this on FB and the defensive staff. I remember a few plays in the KC game where they played zone and I thought now see they are actually seeing what receivers are entering their zone and moving to cover that receiver. Our DB’s don’t do that at all which, IMO, is why they are easily the worst secondary in the league. I blame coaching! The way we play pass defense I honestly think half the college quarterbacks in the country would have banner days against us. We need to get aggressive in our pass coverage! We’re already giving up a shitload of big plays so what’s it going to hurt? JMO
I still say bring in Tony Dungy
as President and have him work closely with Rick Smith and Kubiak to a championship level.
I'd go for that
Tony is exactly the type of character guy McNair would go for. Plus, we already have most of the pieces in place to run his famed Tampa 2 defense. The big question is would he come back to the AFC South against his former team? I don’t see that happening tbh, but we can dream.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Im glad to have McNair as the owner of the Houston Texans.

At least McNair has class
We could have a wacko like Al Davis or a narcissist like Jerrah. It is not time to talk of firing the coach – not like we are 1 and 7. You can think about it, but now is not the time – besides we not even have football next year, so don’t expect drastic changes unless they basically lose all the rest of the games.
As to why shouldn’t he think the defense would get better – they got better at the end of last year.
"I want you guys to pair up in groups of three and then line up in a circle." - Bill Peterson former Oilers Coach
Not yet
You only make a coaching change when the season is totally lost (eg Cowgirls). Our season is not lost, and Kubby might just end up being the coach we hope he can be. McNair is not the sort of jerkoff that would ditch a coach at this point.
If we finish 8-8 or less, I think Bob would be well served to have some conversations with available head coaches. And if the D doesn’t play the second half of the season at a mid pack level, Bob needs to tell Gary and Rick that Bush & Co are fired. Even if we make the playoffs. There is too much talent on the D to be lousy. Probably not enough to be awesome, but enough to be decent.
Although injuries on the D have hurt us – Barwin was as bad as the Colts losing Mathis – that is no excuse. I like what Tomlin said last night about injuries. Something like: “That doesn’t matter. they are all Steelers and have been trained to play like Steelers and represent us. Injuries are no excuse for losing.”

He’s right when he says they’re only one game out of the division lead….who knows? Maybe we’ll be surprised…

9-7
might be enough to win the division. Let’s face it, the Colts are starting to decline and the Titans are good but not that good.

Good point and...
we split with the Colts, the Chargers beat the Tits (and us) in tight games. The NFL is pretty unpredictable this year overall (more than most years). IF we can sweep the Jags and split the Tits, we have a fighting chance to win the division.
DAMNIT!! Well this isn't a good sign!

He doesn’t know why fans are upset?? Are you kidding me? How about they are upset because the Texans have lost 4 of their last 6? How about because we have the worst defense in the NFL? How about because we have a coach who continues to make bone-headed play calls in important situations after 4 1/2 years as a head coach?
I could go on and on but luckily for you I won’t. I just find it offensive for him to say he doesn’t know what the fans are upset about.

I think the Texans are doing a great job this year. They have had a couple of games they should have won and a close loss or two. Overall they look better this year than in the past. We need a little more work on our defense and we should be able to play with anyone. I think changing the coach would be a dumb move at this point.
Seriously?
By no means are we the worst in the league (that would be the Cowboys) but there’s no way we’re better this year imo. If anything our defense took a major step back from where they ended up at the end of last season, with essentially the same personnel.
I admire your enthusiasm but I see us regressing and that concerns me. I still leave room for hope that we can get hot and make a run, but that warm fuzzy feeling I had at the beginning of the season is gone. I think that’s the case for most realistic fans and I hope McNair recognizes that whether he admits it or not.

Hell, Herm Edwards could do a lot with this team
Tony Dungy would work miracles

I still say Dungy's success was almost entirely because he had Manning.
My 2 yeard old could wrack up a winning record as the Colts head coach with manning.
