It is amazing to me that Kubiak, Fangio, Capers, etc... have all been so much better elsewhere than here. Now most of them are in smaller roles elsewhere, so maybe we just promoted guys over their heads, but it is still noteworthy. It definitely gives credence to Chuck's calls of organizational dysfunction that so many coaches do better once they get away from McNair's Texans.
It is also ridiculous that somebody thought it was a good idea to give our college scouting guy a GM job (even if that somebody was Charlie Casserly).
