We've spent a lot of time in this lonely offseason discussing the Texans offense and defense. We've spent some time on the special teams. We've even spent a little time talking about Frank Bush's curious definition of "aggression." But we haven't really spent much time on the subject of Gary Kubiak. This is kind of curious, because for stretches of the season Kubiak was a real polarizing figure on this blog. If you go back to the game threads, you'll find lots of debate on whether or not Kubes was the right coach for the Texans, or even a good head coach at all. Here's an indisputable fact: Gary Kubiak is the guy who coached the Best. Texans. Team. In. History. Ever. I spent a good chunk of the season supportive of Kubes, but finally decided I'd had enough right before the December game against Jacksonville. However, like it or not, the reality remains that he's going to be here for the upcoming season and, barring some unforeseen total collapse, he'll be here for one more season after that. Given that, it's totally possible that Kubes will improve as a coach to the point where I can get back on the bandwagon again. He's shown an ability to improve in aspects of the game where he senses he's weak (for example, clock management) and I've read that after every game he and the coaches review their own performance with an eye towards improving. Because of that, there's hope. After the jump: What it's going to take for me to get back on the Kubes bandwagon. http://www.battleredblog.com/
