Today McNair said that he fired Kubiak early to get a head start on the hire. It appears to have worked as we landed our first choice (and a choice desired by other teams) before the first playoff game. There is nothing to say whether it is the right choice yet, but at least we aren't stuck with plan B. I was very critical of the timing of Kubiak's firing (thought it was either too late or too early), and also of the motivations (didn't like our owner firing a guy and connecting it to his personal desire for which QB played). All that is in the pastone way or another, but I am glad McNair fired Kubiak when he did and got a head start on the hiring process. Hopefully he can now bow into the background and sign the checks for whatever O'Brien and Smith want to do.
