My only hope is that they'll hire a head coach who demands that Rick Smith be fired. I can't really see this happening but I didn't see them firing Lickey mid-season or Marciano at all.

Schaub is who he is and he was that guy again last night. I never need to see him take another snap. But Kubiak is a lame duck and can only try to win the games since he has no next year with this team. He clearly believes Schaub gives them the best chance in any kind of 2 minute situation. Who knows if he's right (and who cares). All these idiots are gone next year.
But if you are McNair and you are truly playing for next year and you honestly thought Keenum was next year's answer and wanted him to play, then you fire Kubiak at the bye and give Wade the clear directive to play Keenum. You don't keep your lame duck coach and hope he cares about next year's team that he's not a part of.
But this wasn't about next year or anything else football related. This was McNair reading tea leaves and trying to cuddle up to dumb, angry, talk radio fan. "Fire Kubiak. Fire Marciano. Schaub stinks. Keenum is great."
If McNair had done this at the bye, I would believe it was about next year and evaluating/developing Case. Instead it's a clear play to win the media and fan base after an embarrassing season.
