The buck stops with Kubiak of course, but this was my first thought even as the play was unfolding.
I'm guessing Kubiak is in heavy protect mode of Baby Shan (outside closed doors at least). Dom Capers had to learn the hard way here about protecting his assistants. It took Kubiak a year too long to replace Richard Smith as DC.
And the ironic thing is that if a defensive-minded head coach is hired to replace Kubiak (whether it is in 2010 or beyond), it seems conceivable that McNair and Rick Smith keep Baby Shan and much of the offensive system and coaches in place when showing Kubiak the door.
