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.

Gary Kubiak being replaced by Wade Phillips is like finding out you are cancer free… leaving the hospital… and getting hit by a bus
