A regular odd couple. We are at odds about %75 of the time, and loudly most of the time.
Most of the time because I am wildly optimistic and forgiving of every one in this franchise. I still don't hate Schaub or Kubiak (though I hope to never see either in a Texans uniform again). I am still ok with Rick Smith staying. I will still gladly pay money to watch McNair's team. I think he is a pretty good owner precisely because he stays out of football decisions. But this time he fired a coach because he didn't like who that coach played at QB (everyone on the board including Arky thinks pulling Keenum was the final straw). If it was just about losses he could have waited 3 weeks and done the "classy thing". Even Capers survived 2-14 and he wasn't coming off back to back Division titles. It is clear that who played the end of the Jax game was behind the timing.
Now I don't think McNair all of a sudden went Jerry Jones on us, and thinks he knows best in terms of football. I think he knows the end of this miserable season goes down a little easier for fans with #7 than with #8.
