Wow. I cannot recall a ST coach being fired as part of an in season purge. Maybe a ST coach gets fired in season after a disastrous ST performance, but to be fired with the HC is strange. I am not complaining at all, but weird timing.

Sort of indicates to me Kubiak was the one keeping Marciano around, not McNair. I will not be surprised if Schaub is inactive the rest of the season. Kubiak's boys are OUT!

I am pretty sure Marciano predates Kubiak. There is no way Kubiak was protecting a guy he had no prior relationship with against McNair's wishes.

I think it's all dog and pony show for McNair to appease the fans. McNair can fire his boy Marciano now or in 3 weeks and it makes no difference. Either way he can sweetheart him financially on the way out. But do it now and you can scapegoat ST as a Kubiak problem.

Bob is trying to win back fans that have been put off by this little 11 game losing streak.

Whatever the motive or timing, I sure feel a heck of a lot better now than I did 2 hours ago. Now I know I won't ever have to see Kubiak or Marciano on the sideline or listen to another crap Kubiak presser again. Too bad they couldn't fire the rest of them today too. Guess we'll just have to wait the 3 weeks for them.
