Confirmed: Gary Kubiak FIRED --Today!

[HPF Bob]

I've always liked Kubiak and consider him a smart and resourceful guy. He obviously cares about his job but the offense was just too stale and predictable. The defense always seemed to let down at just the wrong moment and, as the head coach, you have to own responsibility for that.

He gave us some great seasons. Hope he bounces back soon, both health-wise and career-wise.

I liked the offense and the guy and think both can still matter in the NFL. I really enjoyed him as our coach and thought he was good for us. His slow and steady was just what we needed off of 2-14 but it was never getting better than what he did the last 2 years.

I think the offensive issues are more about Jims and Joes than Xs and Os. He got top 5 or 10 offensive production out of Matt Schaub. I think he and his offense will be employed and successful going forward as an OC.

I also think Kubiak is just not a HC unless your team is led by the players. Without a Tom Brady or a Ray Lewis to actually lead the team, you can't have a bland, aw-shucks personality and expect to beat a bunch of sharks like the Harbaughs, Bellachiks, and Paytons of the world.

If you can't look at a FG to see if it goes in...you might not be an NFL head coach.

If you can't recognize your dead QB is dead...you might not be an NFL head coach.
