The Houston Texans are with coach Gary Kubiak glue.
Gary Kubiak have at least one more season as coach of Texas. (Jack Dempsey/associated press)The team said on Monday that Kubiak will return next season, despite another lackluster campaign that ended without a playoff berth.
But the Texan changes wholesale defensive staff, fire Coordinator Frank Bush, secondary coach of David Gibbs, linebacker coach Johnny Holland and linebacker assistant coach Robert Saleh. The Texans (6-10) lost eight of their last 10 games, mainly because the defence was that 4,280 passing yards a NFL high and allows the Dallas Cowboys for most touchdown passes, tied with 33.
"We serious challenges have we got to address," Kubiak said. "It was coaching all definitely, I think." We have problems in all areas. "I had about how we can get better, and pretend that I go this decision, the four guys to make a decision."
Pro Bowl of middle linebacker DeMeco Ryan, the last 10 games with a ruptured high heel sat, was surprised to hear that the team Holland, an Assistant in all its five published Kubiak's seasons.
"It's tough to lose a guy who has been with me for my first five years in the League," Ryan said in a telephone interview. "I learned a lot from him." "It was definitely shocking that he had to."
The Texan 37 43 in Kubiak's five seasons and the franchise is looking for its first playoff appearance. The best Kubiak done has to guide is the Texans to a 9-7 mark in 2009, only winning record the team of nine seasons.
He felt fortunate owner Bob McNair decided to keep it Kubiak, whose Vertrag 2012 leads, through the season.
"We visited and opted for a new direction, said Kubiak.Of course, it gave me a chance to move forward along those lines I am very grateful. "But I know I do a lot of work and fix a lot of problems."
A defensive coordinator for much of his career was has for a week of speculation spun the McNair in meetings with fired Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, interested in. Bum Phillips, Wade's father and the former coach of Houston Oilers, showed up at Texans practice last week and chatted with McNair.
Kubiak, he said "nobody has spoken" to fill the vacancy. Phillips your lone victory was steps unemployed, since the Cowboys 1-7, a 27-13-decision in week 3 of the Houston Texans.
Phillips was defensive coordinator in Denver from 1986 to 1992, overlapping Kubiak's career than John Elway's backup for the Broncos.
"I know Wade;" I many times was against him, "Kubiak said." "I have much respect for him as a coach, but talking to a number of people." It's pretty safe to say that Wade of one of the people we talk to, and there are probably very fast. "
Phillips told the Houston Chronicle he interested in the job.
"I know the owner and coach," said Phillips. "I like you, and you are guys that I would like to work."
Phillips knows the city well, having played and coached defensive line under his father taught at the University of Houston and the Oilers.
"Houston an added bonus could to come home," said Phillips. "I ve ' family, friends and classmates got it."
Final practice of the season Friday, Bush seemed resigned his fate.
He said "I have to go and try to find a way to sell me to another organisation". "I'll stay positive, I remain optimistic, I will believe in things keep I do." Honestly, I feel we had the correct approach. "Things not geklappt, but I will remain positive about the whole situation and stay ahead on the move."
Bush was promoted to defensive coordinator after the Texans 8 completed in 2008. The Texans defense played well over the last 13 games 2009, giving up 19 points and 84 rushing yards per game during the period.
But the unit was bad from the start this season, what 410.5 yards through the first six games. The Texans started 4-2, just because the offense topped 30 points in each of the victories.
After Ryan's defense better, never hurt.
Kubiak was also his preseason decision start by rookie Kareem Jackson and second year per Glover Quin at the cornerback hurt. Houston's secondary was beaten repeatedly over long pass plays, most critically in the fourth quarter.
Defensive line coach Bill Kollar is his job to keep the pass rush was also an issue. Defensive end Mario Williams 8.5 sacks the first 13 games, then went to season-ending injured reserve with a sports hernia. Houston had 30 bags ranked 23rd in the League.
"I like the way and manner (Kollár) to do its job," Kubiak said. "It has a lot to do, where I going forward see."
Some players moved to meet Monday to Reliant Stadium with Kubiak and clean out their lockers. Differing opinions offered on why dissolved the season, and anticipated defensive coaches losing their jobs.
"We at a point a lot of people don't think that we would receive," said security Bernard Pollard, who is a free agent. "You are interviewing, ' OK, these may be coaching staff get it done?" Getting this coordinator can it be done? Can this head coach the man?' "We at this point."
