I think Fox is leaving

[AceMan]

If Fox stays, I would put him in the same situation Jim Zorn was put in for the Redskins. No real power with everyone knowing he is going to leave next year.

[Murph]

I think Fox would be thrilled to go to Houston. A solid DE, QB and MLB are already in place meaning he can focus his building on the OL and running game.

Plus, it ranks as one of the top overall franchises in the NFL.

[Matt Foley]

Good call, Murph. Didn't realize the Texans coach was on thin ice, though.

[Zod]

One thing we absolutely know about Fox, he has a great fear of the unknown or uncertainty.

He may very well give up a one year head coach job for a 3 or 4 year DC contract.

[Murph]

I think Houston's management is fed up with borderline playoff caliber talent over the past three seasons yet only medicore results and will seriously consider a change.

[Matt Foley]

Did the Giants ownership pass away since Fox was there? I know he holds that family in high regard. I don't think he'd go there as a DC, though. I think he'd sit out a year, maybe do TV, and get on with someone after the labor dispute was settled. I think coaches like to do that because they can check out the entire league and cherrypick their next opportunity, rather than spend the year holed up in an office for one team.

John Fox in the booth? Yikes.

That sentiment sounds oddly familiar. Bringing in Fox to fix such a situation would be a giant pie of irony even larger than Jangler's 4000 post enhanced penis.

I can tell you that the Houston Texans are in no way thinking about a coaching change right now. They are very pleased with Gary Kubiaks progression since he has been head coach. He took over a 6-10 team, who has never had a winning season, to 8-8 his first year, again 8-8 his second year, and more than likely 9-7 this year. He has shown improvement each year, and he is slowly building that franchise.. I guarantee they will give him at least one more year to see if he can bring the Texans to the playoffs.

There is a good chance we extend him after next year once we know more about the CBA. The lack of an extension from what I have read isn't a knock on his ability but an opportunity for our new FO to look at things and make a decision on the direction they want to go in. Especially if we put in a 11-5 year again next year. After all the 1 winning season in the past 4 is countered by the fact that if we win Sunday, we will also have had only 1 losing season in the past 5 years and that one was only 1 game below .500.

Mediocre, some years? Absolutely, but we have not drafted higher than 13 under Fox (excluding 2002 when it was Seifert's team which got us that). So there are more than a dozen teams each year with a poorer record.

r u serious?

[Lout]

r u serious?

I am serious in that Kubiak is not on the hot seat this year. Yes. Is his seat getting warm? Yes.. but he will be the Texans head coach next season.

[magnus]

What? Read the thread title, moron. I'm speculating like everyone else. fine young male.

oh, so, the attention whoring then. Good work with the slur too.
