But I didn't mean to turn this thread into yet another argument on race. We'll see if Smith brings in more than the Rooney Rule token for HC candidates. Right now, it's just too early to draw a conclusion.

The latest Twitter rumor is that Kubiak stays, and Wade Phillips comes in as DC.....Doesn't mention about Smith.

@JasonLaCanfora: Speaking to coaches and executives today, hearing rumblings of Wade Phillips possibly landing as coordinator in HOU w/ Kubiak as head coach

@JasonLaCanfora: Many, myself included, figured the Texans collapse, including an on-field fight, would lead to a taskmaster taking over as head coach...

@JasonLaCanfora: But from what I've heard this morning, that might not be the end result there.

IE, who the hell knows what Bob is gonna do......including Bob.
SCARY!

I certainly hope Smith brings in more than token candidates. Just bring in the qualified, whatever color they may be. Dungy ain't the only good not white coach out there.

FWIW, I can live with Kubiak/Wade. But Kubiak/"some guy still learning the job" won't do.

Yeah, I think this is a strong indicator what is likely to happen, but who knows.

If it turns out to be Kubiak HC and Wade the new DC, I'm ok with it.

Wade has a pretty good track record as DC, although mostly using 3-4 alignment.

I'll be in SA on Sunday.

You can make fun of me for "flee(ing) the country" if you want to, but I assure you I will always have the last laugh on that deal. And don't worry, dude, a couple more years of a shit economy around here and no brown person in his or her right mind will want to sneak in. You can sit around and enjoy a feeble, decaying economy with nothing but fellow citizens with whom to commiserate.

How anyone cannot see that Kubiak's offense is also a serious problem I just don't know. There is just no possible justification for keeping him as the head coach. If McNair does keep him I will be utterly dumbfounded. And correct in my thinking - I guess there's always a silver lining.

So welcome to the good 'Ol U.S of A., even if it is only online Chuck. Here's one justification for Kubiak - he is a good OC! Problem is he is not a motivator. You would think with the salaries these jocks make, they wouldn't need "ol MO", but just like most people, they do.

If Bob (haven't a clue) McNair was smart, he would leave Kubiak as OC, hire a hell-fire DC, and kind of let the situation simmer a while longer. After all isn't that what he has been doing?

I'm actually in Houston right now, which reminds me - I'm up for a tailgate before this final game Sunday. The 3:15 start is a rare blessing and I intend to make full use of it. I've floated this before and have been met with deafening silence but I thought I'd try again. I'm in the Blue Lot.
