There's a lot of "dead coach walking" talk going around Houston but I've found nothing "official", certainly not from the Texans.
In one way, Kubiak might find the timing right to get out of town. The talk in Denver is that John Elway is going to join the Broncos inner circle as Director of Football Operations and, possibly, as part owner. He would have power over the GM and will be involved in the search for a new head coach.
Dollars to donuts, Elway would want his old roommate and best buddy Kubiak as either head coach or offensive coordinator and who is going to tell John "no"?
So, my belief is that a coaching gig is likely for Kubiak in Denver if he becomes available. Next year at this time, the head coach job won't be available.
