I like Kubiak, but he is a bad gameday coach. I think he prepares guys well, inspires loyalty in both his staff and players, and has a good football mind. However, he is just plain bad in terms of gameday stuff. And I don't think it's just something that will get better. It may be a step back, some time as an assistant, and another go before he figures those things out. I fear we may have hired a good coach before he became good.
As for Schaub, he played very Sage-like today (making lots of plays and lots of mistakes). If we win the next two games, we will end up respectable this year, and I think both Schaub and Kubiak are safe through another off-season. A loss to either the chiefs or lions right now and it all spirals.
