again, you need to learn more Houston history if your going to continue to comment. Frankly that's what's annoying about you right now, you keep commenting on shit you don't know anything about.
He had Schaub since 07 all the way to 14, so it was quite a bit more than a "couple of years." Their first winning season wasn't until 09. They sucked in 10, and they didn't do shit all until Wade Phillips gave them a good defense in 11 and 12. That's one of the problems with Kubiak, he kept hiring his friends who had no business being in the positions they were in.
Then in 13, he kept wheeling out the headcase Schaub out there. Which, based on prior conversations in the past few days you believe was the correct decision.
Schaub is easily the best QB in Texans history, which admittedly isn't saying much.
So for O'Brien to go 9-7 with four different QBs as a first year head coach. It is my opinion that he is in fact a better coach than Kubiak was at this point in Kubiaks career.
So I guess my overall point is, you need to learn more about shit you want to talk about if your going to argue with people about it.
I guess I don't know my Texans history. Can't blame me because outside of 12', it's been forgettable.
I said a couple of good seasons, not total seasons if you look back to my post. What years was Schaub good/above average? 09', 10', and 12'. 11' he was injured for part of the season. If I also recall correctly, the team was had a bunch of injuries? in 10' with a horrible secondary and defense. So 10's results aren't surprising.
What years did they either have a winning season or make the playoffs? 09', 11', and 12'. So is all the credit due to Wade? I guess so. I guess we can give all those offensive rushing and passing stats to Wade. Schaub and Foster had a damn good season in 12' as did the Texans defense, but fuck Kubes it was all Wade. Is it any surprise that a more balanced team on both sides of the ball results in a better team? No.
I will give Wade credit for shitting all over the AFCS in 2011. The line up of Collins/Painter/Orlovsky, Gabbert, and Hasselback is a goddamn murders row of QBs. Not to mention facing or taking down such notable QBs as Chad Henne, Jason Campbell, Colt McCoy, Josh Freeman, Andy Dalton. 2011 was a gap year when Manning died and you snuck in. It really didn't have much to do with Wade.
The thing that is surprising is the amount of backbending that is done to discredit the guy. He's not a defensive coach, he's an offensive minded guy who defers the defense to his coordinators. Were his defenses shitty for the most part? I think so, but I guess I don't care. He's home now, not stuck in Houston. You guys can continue to hate on him, until you get the same results with BOB. Only then will you see that your problems aren't all on the coach. The coach is just a sliver of what hits the field.
As a sidenote BOB's career and Kubes career with Houston are not directly comparable from the onset. Kubes started from the bottom, where BOB inherited a decent yet lopsided team. A bit different situation in my mind.
