KUBIAK & SMITH SAFE?
Earlier this evening, a trusted HMW source spoke to us regarding the Houston Texans and their circumstance regarding the long-term futures of head coach, Gary Kubiak, and GM, Rick Smith. Our source indicated that Texans' owner, Bob McNair, is planning to retain both Gary Kubiak and GM Rick Smith for the 2011 NFL season. Our source went on to say that Bob McNair will require that Gary Kubiak fire embattled defensive coordinator, Frank Bush, and the entire Houston Texans' defensive coaching staff. Our source gave further indications that Gary Kubiak is not in favor of having to fire Bush and his defensive coaching staff.
Barry Warner of Sports Radio 610 reported that his sources tell him the Texans will retain Rick Smith and Gary Kubiak will be out. Warner added that the Texans top preliminary candidates are Hugh Jackson, Troy Calhoun, and former Texans assistant Mike Sherman.
THE SPECULATION
When you hear that Gary Kubiak may not be on board with a mandate that would come from Texans owner Bob McNair, it can only lead one to speculate. Could and quite frankly should Gary Kubiak make the Denver leap? You have to ask why not? I mean, Kubiak is apparently revered by most Denver Bronco fans and is rumored to be coveted by Denver ownership as well. Kubiak is familiar with all things Denver.
Having coached and played there and coming in after this troubled season for the franchise, Kubiak would be a stable upgrade in character at least. Job security and fan-favor wise, taking on the Tim Tebow project would guarantee him a Bob McNair-like, brand spanking new five years of job security.

TO MARCH OR NOT TO MARCH?
Further comments from the aforementioned HMW source suggested that a culture exists within the Texans organization that may value this coming Sunday's rumored fan protest outside Reliant Stadium as a needed eye opener for owner Bob McNair. If in fact there really is "smoke where there's fire" its appears the Reliant Stadium "roof is on fire"!
This should be a simple equation to navigate for Texan fans, but instead it's proven to be a stubborn barrier for fans to move past. "To march or not to march, that is the question?"
Honestly folks, as much as I can say I would never "March On Reliant", I certainly understand the mood of the fans. With that said, I'll amend my comments on "The Matt Thomas Show" on Tuesday (12/28) when I called Matt up on the air. At that time, I encouraged fans not to "rally @ Reliant".
My thinking was that it would have ZERO impact on the Texans brass, i.e., Bob McNair in their decision making format. Well after speaking to the HMW source, I want to encourage all fans to "RALLY @ RELIANT" on Sunday!

I believe Mr. McNair to be a passionate man with strong convictions who appears to have a good heart (see Texans Boys & Girls Club @ MLK Blvd. & Griggs Rd.) I feel McNair will likely have a positive reaction to a clean, organized, genuinely emotional fan rally with fans voicing their passion for the Texans. Hey, it's clear after watching the many ways Mr. McNair's players found ways to lose games this season that we know how to lose games down hear in Houston, Texas. We may as well show the nation and Mr. McNair how to bitch!
