Schefter: Kubiak high on Fins radar

Turner is the better OC, I wouldn't want you to get him. ---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ---------- I don't believe that has ever happened.

The Jets can have Norv Turner for all I care. He's a slightly better version than Mike Mularkey.
 
didn't Cam get fired midseason last year in Baltimore and the O took off after he left?

I don't care. I don't know if he got fired, or it was a disagreement on run/pass ratio, whatever. All I care about is what he's doing for LSU right now. And it's spectacular. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I was trying to draw a parallel.

I understand being an OC and HC are 2 different things but he never did anything to impress me as an OC, he was riding Shanahan's coattails and the only big time O's they had were when TD and Elway were playing, I have never been high on Kubiak.

Uh...wasn't Kubiak the backup QB to Elway during that time? lol

edit: nevermind, he played for them, and also coached after his short nfl career. lol
 
Another thing to consider is, if this guy has a successful year here, would he be gone next year in search for a HC gig again?
 
Be careful what you wish for. While Kubes would be an upgrade on Sherman (who isn't?), you would all quickly tire of his unimaginitive and very predictable playcalling.

A couple years back didn't Houston have the # 1 passing as well as # 1 rushing offense in the conference ? The guy can run an offense for sure.

No, don't think that's ever happened. Anyway, here's why I think people overrate that Texans talent on offense. Here are the team's two leading rushers and the team's leading receiver that isn't named Andre Johnson each year under Kubiak:

2006 rushers: Ron Dayne and Wali Lundy. Receiver: Eric Moulds (washed up version)
2007 rushers: Ron Dayne and Darius Walker. Receiver: Kevin Walter
2008 rushers: Steve Slaton, Ahman Green (washed up version). Receiver: Kevin Walter
2009 rushers: Steve Slaton, Ryan Moats. Receiver: Kevin Walter
2010 rushers: Arian Foster, Derrick Ward. Receiver: Kevin Walter
2011 rushers: Arian Foster, Ben Tate. Receiver: Owen Daniels
2012 rushers: Arian Foster, Justin Forsett (5.9 ypc), Receiver: Owen Daniels
2013 rushers: Ben Tate, Arian Foster. Receiver: DeAndre Hopkins


My conclusion is that GM Rick Smith handed Gary Kubiak Andre Johnson, Owen Daniels (a good but certainly not elite player), and a bucket of spare parts every year for eight friggin' years and the Texans have still consistently been very good in scoring and points except for Kubiak's first year (DAVID CARR) and this last year. Arian Foster emerged as a household name, but other than that, the skill position talent on that team has been, uh, unimpressive. Yet production for the offensive unit has been good.

Is that talent or coaching? Because Ron Dayne, Kevin Walter, Steve Slaton, and the Eric Moulds retirement tour ain't exactly blue chip talent.
 
The good thing about Ross is no price is too high.

Well he intereviewed for the Lions so it would probably be dependent on him not getting that job.

I could see a scenario where Kubiak wants a break from being the guy... Goes back to the coordinator world... All the while Ross pays him mega bucks. Kind of like how Marvin Lewis with the skins.

The guy can make a running game out of a turd. Which is what we sorely need.
 
I would be impressed with that selection.
 
It would be a solid pick up for Miami. I like kubiak. Has super bowl rings and knows how to run a game plan.
 
If he stayed in Denver, he could legally be high right now...
