He's a decent coach. I think he cost the team a couple of games this season but at least they are getting some stability and he is gaining more and more experience with every season.

Texans working on contract extension for Kubiak
Deal through at least 2013 could be finalized next week
By JOHN McCLAIN Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle
Texans owner Bob McNair is working on a multiyear contract extension for coach Gary Kubiak that could be completed as early as next week.
Kubiak has one year left on the five-year, $10 million contract he signed to become the Texans' coach in 2006. Kubiak's new deal is expected to go through the 2013 season and perhaps longer, according to McNair.
“We've been working on our assistant coaches, and we don't have all of them signed, but I think we've pretty much got them resolved, and everybody will be signed through 2012,” McNair said Monday. “Now we're in the process of working on Gary's extension, and I think probably by next week, we'll have his finalized.
“His will run at least one year longer than (2012), maybe more.”
Kubiak and general manager Rick Smith, who joined the Texans in 2006 and signed a four-year extension in 2008, have put together a team that's coming off its best season. The Texans won their last four games and finished 9-7. They missed making the playoffs for the first time on the last day of the season.
“I think Gary's done a good job,” McNair said. “I look at our results, and I look at what some other coaches have done, and I evaluated his performance against others. We have a great foundation in place.”
McNair wasn't going to let Kubiak work under a one-year contract.
“I think continuity's extremely important in building a strong team,” McNair said. “It can impact free agency. It's important when you hire (assistant) coaches. Our new coaches (offensive coordinator Rick Dennison and quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp), who are outstanding, were getting contracts beyond Gary's, and I told him to let them know it wasn't an issue.
“I think we're on the right path. I think we have to keep building on the foundation we have.”
The Texans are going to hire a new strength and rehabilitation coach. Ray Wright, who was elevated last year when Dan Riley was fired, was let go after the season.
McNair watched the AFC's 41-34 victory over the NFC in the Pro Bowl. He saw Matt Schaub win the Most Valuable Player Award and Mario Williams record two sacks.
“I was very proud of them,” McNair said. “I was really pleased for Matt. He played like that all season. Others got a chance to see it.
“Andre (Johnson) and Mario and DeMeco (Ryans) had outstanding games, too. It lets people unfamiliar with the Texans know this is a club on the rise.”

When is Demeco and OD gonna get contracts??
DeMeco will get his. I'm certain of it. I bet OD will get franchised so they can make sure his knee is back to 100%.
lol texans
lol average team
lol Shaub overrated by texan fans
I love this troll
But anyways, to be serious for a moment, what the texans really need is a secondary that isn't afraid to cover wide receivers. They have to do something at the RB position, Slaton isn't cutting it for them, got to have someone more consistent.
Agreed. With so many teams that are dealing with crap coaches we are fortunate to have Kubiak. It could be much worse. A glance a couple hundred miles north can tell you that.
This is a very accurate statement. Glover Quin had a very good rookie season but he is no way a corner that could defend the opposing teams #1 guy every game. Dunta is a and when Eugene Wilson is the best safety out there aside from Bernard Pollard you know you got problems in the secondary.I love this troll

RB is a huge problem and I doubt it is resolved by using the first round pick on a RB.
Wade Philips>>>>Gary Kubiak
Yeah the defy will prob be addressed with our first rounder this year. It will either be a DB (saftey, or cb) or a DT. our 2nd rounder will prob be the same if not a OL. RB is prob gonna be addressed with free agency. There isnt much out there as far as free agents but im sure they are hoping Slaton gets over the Soph slump. Im hoping Foster can come around, he isnt as fast but has more power and can help us with our short yardage needs.
Earl Thomas for the secondary, CJ Spiller for RB
if we get lucky. Doubtful Earl is still on the board when we draft.
Coach #1 - 81-54 career record
Coach #2 - 31-33 career record
Tell me which is which. Let that rattle around in your head a bit, and respond correctly.
But on the real, Houston has got to do some work on the secondary and in the backfield. I think they'll reach the playoffs next year.
I'd rather have non named Coach #3...Wade is just Wade. Really great at running a Defense, but their are clearly better HC out their. Kubiak, the jury is still out on. Sometimes I like the guy and sometimes I don't. If Houston ends up hovering around .500 next year at the end of the season, then he has clearly exhausted his stay in Houston.
True...This is who we know they are playing, not exact dates
vs Colts
vs Tennesee
vs Jaguars
@ Raiders
@ Colts
vs Chiefs
@ Jets
vs Giants
@ Jaguars
vs Ravens
vs Chargers
vs Cowboys
@ Eagles
@ Broncos
@ Redskins
@ ans
How about using your own head instead of just posting career records like it means anything.
Wade has been a joke at every head coaching spot he has had. He was pitiful in Denver and was fired after two seasons. Then after a couple of decents year at Buffalo he crapped the bed against Tennessee(lol Rob Johnson) and got fired again the next season. Then he came to Dallas where he got a large chunk of his wins on a team that was already good. Oh..and he has already managed to have a Wade moment there.......lol 44-6.
Wade sucks.
LOL Texans
LOL 9-7 being a "good year" for the Cows....
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Don't forget Schaub's Pro Bowl MVP.
Wade:
DAL 2007 13-3
DAL 2008 9-7
DAL 2009 11-5
Total: 33-15
Kubiak:
HOU 2006 6-10
HOU 2007 8-8
HOU 2008 8-8
HOU 2009 9-7
Total 31-33
I'm not even a Wade fan but..............Wade>>>>>>Kubiak. Don't tell me records don't matter. Fact is, they both shouldn't be head coaches. At best def/off coordinators.
What part of "team that was already good" don't you understand? This is also Kubiak's first head coaching job. How did Wade do in his first job?
Done deal.
REPORT: KUBIAK AGREES TO NEW 3-YEAR DEAL WITH TEXANS
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has reportedly agreed to a new three-year contract that would keep him in Houston through 2012.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Kubiak opted for a new deal rather than taking an extension through 2013, which would have included an option year. When Kubiak inks the new contract, Kubiak's original five-year, $10 million deal will be torn up.
"I'm real excited about it," Kubiak told the newspaper. "Bob (McNair) has always been very good to me. I respect him a great deal. I'm glad he's got the confidence in me to finish what we started when we came here. We've got a great opportunity to have something real special."
Kubiak guided the Texans to a 9-7 record in 2009. That was the best mark in club history and also the first-ever winning season for Houston.
In his first year as coach in 2006, Kubiak led the Texans to a 6-10 record. A pair of 8-8 seasons in 2007 and '08 followed.
I think it would've been better if there was a team option after 2 years.
