No doubt the players bear responsibility for their screw ups. However, it is amazing how many fewer screw ups are made on teams with good head coaches. What immediately comes to mind is the night and day difference in the Cowboys when they hired Parcells. Despite having most of the same players, the mental errors and boneheaded plays dried up practically overnight. I guess this just could have been a coincidence but I doubt it.
In any event, I'm openly rooting for Kubiak to get canned so, as much as it pains me to say it, the Texans losing isn't the worst thing because it just makes that day that much closer.
