There's only so much a coach can do if the players don't execute. It could be bad coaching, but without being on the inside it's hard to say who's really to blame. I've heard numerous times what a great DB coach Hoke is, which was why Kubiak kept him around, but if you ask me we don't see long term development. Without knowing what the coaches are doing in practice and in meetings there's no real way to know.

The coaching staff deserves some heat this year, but I think all of us Texans fans had convinced ourselves that we were going to pretty damn good. Coaches are easier to replace so they catch the blame first, but we all knew that there were still holes in this roster going into this season.

the problem is that the coaches don't seem to be learining from their mistakes. the staff has been in place (for the most part) for three years. if we have good coaches the players shouldnt be still making the same boneheaded mistakes week after week. i still like kubiak and most of the coaches, but they are going to start wearing out their welcome if they can't fix some of the glaring problems.
