Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak Fired
Head coach Gary Kubiak has been fired. KHOU reports,
HOUSTON – Gary Kubiak was fired as coach of the Houston Texans effective immediately, the team announced Friday morning.
Texans owner Bob McNair made the announcement at a press conference at Reliant Stadium after the team lost its 11th consecutive game of the season Thursday night, 27-20, against division rival, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The owner said that he decided it was time for a change with the last straw being the loss to the Jaguars. The Texans played miserably and were flagged 14 times for a franchise-record 177 yards.
“We have more talent than Jacksonville. We expect to go out and play smart and we didn’t play smart,” said McNair.
The Texans are 2-11 after beginning the season as a favorite to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Kubiak’s overall record is 61-64, with a 2-2 mark in the playoffs.
“Losing like this is unacceptable and it’s something we can’t tolerate,” McNair said.
