Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

[SmootSmack]

I'm still not 100% on Zimmer. I mean I think that may play out for a while while Zimmer sees what other opportunities may be out there

Kyle Shanahan for sure, he'll be on board probably at the end of the month

If not Kyle then maybe Jerry Gray. Gray and Mike's kid Kyle are both UT graduates and Gray is very big into the Austin thing. Could it be something to the Gray interview for DC as opposed to HC, or perhaps even another interview?

Where does Kubiack fit it?

This could delay things or create problems if no minority candidates agree to a sham interview. At this point, jerry likely knows he won't be retained in any capacity so I don't know what motivation he has to interview again.

Apparently they got that from ESPN and ESPN has since backed off those comments. Shannahan should be ready to be announced tomorrow.

I heard on CBS that Kubiak is staying in Houston.

Interesting. Well I guess we'll settle for the young prodigy.

Rumor was if he lost his last 2 games he would be fired. He won the last 2 games. Rumor is the owner would keep him if he ended well, broke even 8-8, and won the last 2 games.

here's the question. Did Kubiac say he was staying? or was it the owner? It still doesn't mean Kubiac can't quit and be hired by Shanahan. right?

I was kinda hoping we could pick up Alex Gibbs as our OL coach so I guess I was hoping they would fire Kubiac and look for a new HC. It would make our chances greater of picking up Alex Gibbs. If Kubiac stays I can't see us being able to raid their coaching staff. Shanahan won't burn a friend like that.

Maybe. But if I'm Kubiak there's no way I'm quitting as a head man to be an assistant elsewhere. If nothing else, such behavior could damage his chances for being a head man again in the future.

Seriously, in what universe would that make sense? Nobody would quit a HC job to be a assistant.

They can if Dan Snyder is giving them a raise...which we all know he can do.

Totally agee if the situation is right. Kubiac has been fighting rumors that his job was on the line all year. It came down to the last game for the ownership to say (presumably) "we won't be firing him." If your a HC does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy? knowing the ownership was ready to can you with 2 games left. It took the last 2 games for them to make up their minds?

I agree he will stay. It would be crazy for any HC to simply give up his job as a HC to go work in a lesser capacity.... unless he's not happy where he's at. Most likely he is.

I guess it doesn't matter. We have Shanahan's son. I still think it would be nice to pick up Alex Gibbs for OL. It would be nice to see Shanahan pick up someone with a brilliant mind to help Kyle out and maybe be QB coach or something. ..... Peyton Manning anyone?

The Texans finished 9-7 and may make the playoffs, why are we still discussing Kubiak?
