McNair says Kubiak will "definitely" be back
Posted by Michael David Smith on January 3, 2010 7:05 PM ET
Houston Texans owner Bob McNair said today that Gary Kubiak will remain the team's head coach for the 2010 season.

"Gary's my coach," McNair said after the Texans beat the Patriots to finish the season 9-7. "I know there was speculation that he might not be, but he is. He'll definitely be back. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be."

McNair, who was shown on TV grinning from ear to ear after the Texans beat the Patriots, praised the job Kubiak has done this season.

"Look at the conditions he coached under, all the injuries," McNair said. "I like Gary for a lot of reasons. He's got a great offensive mind. He has a great sense of how to push players and when to back off. He also doesn't play favorites. He treats players the same, and they respect him for it."

Kubiak has an overall record of 31-33 in four years with the Texans. After talk for much of this season that Kubiak could get fired, former Texans General Manager Charley Casserly, who's now a CBS analyst, reported that Kubiak might even get a contract extension.
