And along the lines of what papabear said, unless someone tips off Mark Berman to head to the baggage claim at IAH, there is no telling what's happening 'behind the scenes' since we seem to have an otherwise passive sports news media in Houston. Also, if Gray or anyone else was interested in coming here, I imagine like a lot of job seekers his resume would already be on Kubiak's desk, vacation or not.

Good points and I'm not actually as fired up about this as I'm coming across in my postings. However, I do think it's weird that we haven't heard a single name trickle out (other than Bush), much less confirmation of any contact/permission to talk to/interviews with any candidates. Add to this the fact that Kubes said he would take a week off and then decide who to interview and I'm not thrilled with what I'm hearing about our D coordinator search.
Maybe it's just the pessimist in me that the Texans have turned me into, but this isn't the first time that the Texans have moved in ways that made me scratch my head. The first couple times I thought, "They're professionals, I'm sure there's some reason for it that I just don't know or understand." Come to find out, there wasn't and their moves were, in fact, just as baffling as I originally suspected. Thus, when they behave in ways that make no sense to me, I'm less inclined now to wholesale speculate just to try and craft some answer which gives them the benefit of the doubt.
