It's impossible for me to know whether he would have retained Kubiak if there hadn't been a lockout. I suspect he would have, but I'll never know.

You know, I think the only major mistake McNair has made was not canning Kubiak after he missed a golden opportunity to go to the playoffs in 2009. He really should have taken the Texans to the playoffs in 2009 with that pud schedule, but blew some close ones and didn't have the Texans ready in the season opener vs the Jets. And maybe McNair really wanted to get rid of him this year, but with the lockout and all I can appreciate the uncertainty teams would be facing with in 2011, which maybe seemed almost like a throw away season ?
He didn't wait too long on getting rid of Capers did he ? Dom had that 7-9 season, then he won the first Draft pick next year and McNair promptly let him go IIRC ? Was there a problem there ?
I sincerely believe McNair really, really wants to win and get into the playoffs. More than we do. I might be mistaken, but FWIW that's my opinion ?
