Another thing I learned is that Pat Bowlen is a less patient owner than is Bob McNair. I don't know whether or not patience is a virtue in the NFL. I do know that despite a recent drought under Bowlen's ownership the Broncos have gone to the playoffs 13 out of his 26 seasons. In order for McNair to match that the Texans would have to reach the playoffs next year and each year up to and including 2020. Do you think that's likely?
Bowlen has enjoyed a winning percentage of 60% as an owner. McNair's is 39%.
If McNair watches his team turn in yet another losing season this year without making changes at head coach and general manager then he does not deserve the support of the fans. It's that simple.
McNair and Kubiak are similar in that they are both good, likable guys who are completely ineffective in their respective roles with the team.
