Will Kubiak get canned the week before we play the Texans?

It is Week 6 of the NFL season. Time for our biweekly “uh oh” column about those up-and-down Texans and their embattled coach, Gary Kubiak.Yes, he is embattled. Hate to be the one to keep bringing this up, but he is doing it to himself. The game at Cincinnati this Sunday isn't a make-or-break contest. It is more like a break-only contest. A loss to the 4-1 Bengals would mean the Texans are a 2-4 team that is broken. We all know the standard move to fix a broken football team. (And I'm not talking about replacing quarterback Matt Schaub.) The Texans don't need to win just this week; they need to start a winning streak, or at least a winning stretch, to get out of the .500 funk they've been in for so long under Kubiak.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/solomon/6668355.htmlhttp://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/rumors/post/Houston-Texans-prepping-to-fire-head-coach-Kubia;_ylt=As8Bp48779YoriwklV_UAQo5nYcB?urn=nfl,196129

I don't see them beating the Bengals. Guess it would be better for us if they did right, did we lose the week after we fired nolan?

If they continue to lose they won't have a choice. They seem to have a very talented roster, but seem to settle for .500 play. Hopefully that doesn't change until after we get to play them & win.

I doubt they fire him during the season, just not McNair's MO. If there was any chance it would be done during the bye week. I don't think he's the problem, they have the same problems we do, other than at LT and DE, they just haven't been able to build their lines well. And they spent 4 1st round picks on that Dline!

If he does get fired, I really hope we try and go after him as our offensive coordinator.

Most likely though...he'll end up with Shanny somewhere.

That and he doesn't really fit with MS' vision. The best we can hope for is the return of Norv.
