HOUSTON (Ticker) -- It appears Gary Kubiak will get a chance to coach in his hometown.

The Houston Chronicle is reporting that the longtime offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos will be named as the coach of the Houston Texans.

The announcement will be made after the Broncos' postseason run. Denver (13-3) will host the New England Patriots Saturday night in the divisional playoffs.

The Texans fired coach Dom Capers on Jan. 2, one day after finishing a 2-14 season with a loss at San Francisco, and own the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft.

That pick will be used on either Heisman Trophy-winning running back Reggie Bush of Southern California or Texas quarterback Vince Young, who is a Houston native. If the Texans pick up their $8 million contract option on quarterback David Carr in March, then Bush will likely be the selection.

Kubiak has served the last 11 years as the Broncos' offensive coordinator under coach Mike Shanahan. This season, Denver ranked first in the AFC in rushing and fifth in offense.

Born in Houston, Kubiak starred at Texas A&M and served as a backup quarterback to John Elway in Denver from 1983-91, when Dan Reeves was the coach. The Texans hired Reeves as a consultant last month.

The sixth-winningest coach in NFL history with a record of 201-172-2, Reeves went to the Super Bowl three times with the Broncos and once with the Falcons.

Born in 2002, the Texans improved their win total each year from four to five to seven under Capers before crashing in 2005.

Take Bush, Use D. Davis as trade bait to fill in the weakest links on the OL.

Problem is, Bush isn't an every down back. Bush + Davis would make for a solid backfield combo.

Rumor is that Kubiak is going to bring along the OL coach from the Broncos. Seeing as how the Broncs seem to turn every back of theirs into a stud, that might be a start to improving the OL in Houston.

Broncos Oline coach is actually a newer one. It used to be Alex Gibbs, but he is now coaching Atlanta.
