Just saw on NFLN:

* Bill Cowher the favorite for the Texans job, LaCanfora reported that job would be very appealing to him.

* That would leave Gary Kubiak to return to the Broncos.

* Raiders OC Hue Jackson the favorite in Cincinnatti.

* Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh to get heavy consideration in San Francisco.

* Gruden and Jon Fox would be the prime candidates in Cleveland if Eric Mangini doesn't finish strong.

the only way I would be fine with Kubiak is if the following occurs:

1. A valid GM is first in place
2. Dennison comes along
3. A good DC is hired on (and no, Wade Phillips isn't coming).

I know this is just speculation at this point but as many have said over and over again the last several days.... if a good GM is hired first, and then Kubiak comes in as head coach along with a top notch DC and coaching staff, I think I could live with this.

Speaking of which, any chance Rick Smith would leave Houston for Denver along with Kubiak? And if so, would people support this or be disappointed?

Another disappointing rumor for Denver. Why all these coaches who have failed at prior NFL jobs? Why not defensive oriented coaches? Why do we keep living in the past with these guys with Broncos connections? This whole season just sucks! Orton will probably start this week even though he hasn't practiced and is, clearly, beaten up. Just great...

After addressing his players and coaches on Thursday, Bob McNair did not sound like an owner who is considering firing Texans coach Gary Kubiak.

McNair did say he’s sure the Texans will make some changes after the season but didn’t specify what those changes might be.

McNair, who spent Wednesday in Dallas at the NFL owners’ meeting, spoke to his team after practice. He told them he was “shocked” by the positive response he had received from other owners attending the meeting.

“I wanted the team to know not only how close we think they are but how close our competitors think they are to being an outstanding team,” McNair said. “The level of respect they have for our team and how close they think we are to having not just a good team but an outstanding team — it was nice to hear your peer group say that about you.

“It’s sort of an affirmation that we’re on the right track. Clearly, we have to do better, because what we’ve done wasn’t good enough. But we’re on the right track, and I’ve felt that way all along.”

I'm not sure what I think about Kubiak being brought in as HC, so I'll set that aside.

However, to your question about the talk about HC's that have failed at prior NFL jobs vs. young coaches. See the McDaniels experiment for the main answer to that.

There is a much bigger chance of complete failure with a first time HC. When you hire a HC that was fired from another team, there is a history, game film if you will, that lets you evaluate what they did good and what they did bad. From that, you can make an informed decision about whether they will be successful here either based because they've learned from their mistakes (mostly if they are young), or if the players or circumstances of this team would fit them better, etc.

Most coordinators fail in their first HC job. Some, then go on to success with another team (maybe after another coordinator job).

So, it's always intriguing to look at young coordinators who had success, but more times than not they fail.

Except that there are coaches out there who have been successful head coaches - i.e. Gruden, Cowher and we are focusing (if you believe the rumors) on offensive-minded, recently unsuccessful coaches (Kubiak) or older guys (Fossil) who should have learned their lessons earlier in their careers. Boy, we would jump at the chance for a Raheem Morris or Leslie Frazier now. Give me Harbaugh or Rivera any day over what is being speculated. Look around the league right now and there are plenty of first time head coaches who are successful after having been offensive or defensive coordinators.

Who the hell are you talking about? Houston may average 125 yds per game, are not tops in TOP, and may control the line of scrimmage and where has it gotten them. You guys sit there and compare offenses, well you can compare that offense to Shanahan's.....with no damn defense. Amazing how little you can figure out about consistent winning by a team. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DEFENSE. And Kubiak doesn't.

While You have to have a running game, that will never win it all in todays NFL.

Todays NFL is a pass first runafter tyour up by 20 points, to kill the clock

I can only hope we get a Qualified GM taht can handle players, scouting and will impart his wisdom on how to win to his coaching staff in todays NFL.

You realize there is another element to football called "defense," right? And the Texans D is as soft as a marshmellow. Also, the Texans run offense gets shut down when they play physical defenses, jsut like ours did the last decade Shanny was here. That's the problem with using strictly a ZBS...it isn't a physical style of blocking. It's finesse running. That's why most teams just use it as a corollary to a man-on-man blocking scheme.You are the one showing your ignorance that such sublties escapes you.

Rex Ryan, Tony Sporano, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Todd Haley, Jim Schwartz, Mike Smith, Sean Payton, Raheem Morris, Ken Whisenhunt, Steve Spagnuolo... all pretty good first-time head coaches hired in recent years whom, I believe, look to be good coaches. That's over one-third of the league. I would say it's more about the individuals than whether or not they have been a head coach in the NFL before. Maybe Josh just wasn't ready yet, but I would not make that an indictment of other coaches without head coaching experience. Likewise, just because some head coaches have been successful in a second stint, I would not look at prior head coaching experience as a requirement. I like Rivera and Harbough as HC candidates in Denver, but I also like Gruden and Cowher. Not so enamored with Fassell or Kubiak. Given that we are looking to structure the team with a strong GM, it kind of takes the big names with prior HC experience out of the running for us leaving us with second tier guys. That is why I am looking more at guys like Rivera and Harbough as good fits in Denver.

I agree. We have been putting band-aids on our roster for years and wallowing in mediocrity rather than rebuilding talent and depth through the draft. Sometimes you have to take a step back before moving forward. Our rebuilding process has been drastically set back by years of poor roster management.

The last time we were competitive was when Kubiak was here. People seem to forget how great Plummer was playing, and how efficient our offense was when Kubiak was calling the plays. Remember when Houston hired him, and Plummer & the offense sucked that year? Still remember everyone calling it the 'Nintendo Offense', but sure as hell most of them wish we still had it now. I hope Kubiak comes back here and leads this offense with Tebow as his QB. There is lots of potential here.

The Texans are a joke and Kubiak has shown absolutely nothing as a head coach over a very long sample-period.

Kubiak unfortunately has followed in the footsteps of his mentor Shanahan....very good to great offense, no defense. Defense wins championships...there's a reason cliche's like that are quoted often....because they're true.

Texans brought in Wade to fix the defense, and though he's not that great as a head coach, Wade is a pretty good DC....he's generally had good to great success running defense over his career...just like McDaniels might have been over his head as our HC...but nobody can deny he can coach QB's...look at what he's done with Brady, Cassell, and Orton....makes me think that Tebow would be a very good player, but unfortunately we fired the one guy who could coach him.

Hopefully whoever we get as our top dog will bring in a very good QB coach to develop the kid, and build a defense that'll keep the games close until he becomes the beast we all hope he'll be.

I meant AFTER the season ended. Not the "Coaching Carousel" expected. Not as many vacancies as expected, and therefore not as many assistant coaches available for hire.

My point is, there are less coaching staff's in turmoil than expected, therefore there is a smaller pool of assistant coaches that Denver can add. With Denver potentially adding a new HC, it's better if he has a larger pool of assistant coaches that he can add to his staff, better to have more competition for the assistant jobs.

* Raiders OC Hue Jackson the favorite in Cincinnatti.

* Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh to get heavy consideration in San Francisco.

* Gruden and Jon Fox would be the prime candidates in Cleveland if Eric Mangini doesn't finish strong.

So he got one of them right!

Looking like Fox in Cleavland so that would make two, with the others undecided so far.

To be fair, Kubiak not being fired in Houston potentially eliminated two of them.

I wouldn't call that fair. Fair would be counting those blunders double because he missed didn't even get the firing right.

He didn't necessarily make a prediction. He said if Kubiak got fired Cowher was a possibility in Houston and Kubiak was a possibility in Denver. We'll never know because Kubiak didn't get fired.

He's a journalist. Journalists write stuff. They don't always have all the info or facts so some of what they write ends up being flung crap. He offered some early speculation and most of it didn't end up being right. I don't know why some people have so much difficulty with this stuff. As long as you keep reading it they'll keep writing it. So if you hate it so much I suggest you stop reading it, and if you do read it stop taking it so seriously. All the anger and hate just isn't worth it at the end of the day.

I think SH*T would be a more proper term. It used to be that journalists wrote stuff (both good and bad), anymore they just write sh*t.

Well if McDaniels ends up as Vikes OC, why wouldn't they try to acquire Orton to run his offense (he ran it pretty well in my opinion)...or Tebow for that matter?

all i know is that I don't want the Broncos to go into camp with a QB controversy. It's never been productive anywhere else, so i doubt it'll work out here either. Get rid of one, let him move on and give the guy you keep all the tools and coaching he'll need to make us relevant on the field again......and please build a defense that'll keep games close at least.
