Schefter: Kubiak high on Fins radar

[Mudder1310]

Kubiak brings things to the table that are nice. First, everywhere he's been has at some point had an explosive offense. Second, he's worked with several of the best QBs ever. Third, as an ex-player he has a fundamental understanding of what the QB is seeing.

The guy is as much a QB whisperer as anyone in the game. Players talk about how smart Kubiak is on offense. If nothing else he'd get the most out of the players.

That is something that I would be happy with.

I'm glad to hear we're interested in Kubiak, but I doubt Kubiak is interested in the gig. He probably wants to be a head coach.

Ha ha ha ha...Try being a Texans fan.

 

[dlockz]

Kubiak as OC is appealing

 

[utahphinsfan]

Nope he just signed with tampa.

Damnit!? ROFL!

Did Tampa keep Wanny (Schiano's ST coach) too? If so, whose next.... Jack Sparrow?

You need to conect the dots. Kubiak and Sherman are good freinds as is Sherman and Lazor, not that that is a horrible thing but could be Sherman helping out trying to keep the offensive staff (including his son-in-law) in tact.

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.

They sure as heck beat us every time we played.

Not quite. IMO, re ran Arian Fostr a ton behind a VG OL, and has little to offer this team

Exactly. And a little dude named Andre Johnson was a handy WR helped as well. He had a lot of horsepower at his fingertips.
I'd be more interested in someone who can bring a creative system.

 

[AphexPhin]

haven't read the thread but I thought Kubiak was only looking for a head coaching position? Anyways, I'd be okay with him or the Eagles qb coach.

 

[retarmyfinfan]

Simple Question would he be an Upgrade over Sherman?

What wouldn't be an upgrade over him?

Did you see my previous post on who his top rushers and receivers were in Houston? Kevin Walter? I watch a lot of football and I didn't even know who that was. 7th rounder drafted by the Giants out of EASTERN MICHIGAN. Real blue-chipper there. Steve Slaton? The corpse of Ron Dayne? Johnson and Schaub have also been injured a LOT.

As for Arian Foster, do you think he's an amazing talent, or do you think that maybe Gary Kubiak knows how to get production out of guys? Because let's flash back here:

He made Brian Griese a Pro Bowler. He got 1100 yards out of Olandis Gary. How about Mike Anderson? 1500 yards with a 5.0 average. Mike Anderson. 1200 yards out of Reuben Droughns. He literally got a better rushing season out of Reuben Droughns than we could get out of Ronnie Brown, Reggie Bush, or Lamar Miller. He's a bad coach?

Yeah, look at those all star blue chip players he's worked with his entire career. When he did have great talent, Clinton Portis rushed for 3,000 yards in two years. That was with the 'amazing' QB play of Brian Griese and Jake Plummer.


It's utterly stunning to me that anyone looks at the offenses of Gary Kubiak's teams through his career and thinks "Yeah, those guys were loaded with all pro talent." They weren't. Some poor team is going to shell out a ton of money for Ben Tate in free agency and find that out real fast.

I have no problem bringing in Kubiak.

Bring in the guy who has kicked our ass for the past 10 years.

 

[kcbrown]

Kubiak is not great at all

Lot's of run references behind some VG to great OL's but, this NFL is a passing league, and if you look at what his O has done in that regard, it is nothing worth mentioning.

I love the dolphins fans who constantly belittle coaches that have been good in the nfl.

As if the nfl gods are on our side, and will send some god send football coach to save us.

Smh get real, getting kubiak is a dream situation for us in the position were in.
