So...how did the texans go from worst team (with David Carr)....

So I guess we're supposed to give every clueless coach an automatic six years to figure out simple clock management before we can really evaluate if their system will work or not.

The 2006 Texans did not have good personnel, and this was after they had made multiple positional upgrades.

the OP opened the door there. kubiak was a respected coordinator with no HC experience. he started out his tenure with a 6-10 record and didn't get his first winning season for a couple years after that.

would you say that kubiak is a good HC? better than rivera? based on what exactly? what took him 5-6 years to work on?

They don't have anything in common beyond that. Kubiak inherited a worse roster and a shell shocked QB and still managed to display a measure of competency in his first year. They swept the Jaguars and beat the Colts in a close game, the team who happened to win the superbowl that year.

Also Kubiak started 3-2 his second year, not 1-4.

To a top tier unit this season? What did they do right, that obviously the panthers are doing wrong? Wish we could make that sort of turn around....

They went and got themselves a QB who could run an NFL offense.
