And here we are, 2011. Texans are 1-0!... only because the NFL season bleeds over into the first week of 2011.
These four things I know are true:
- Gary Kubiak will retain his job as Head Coach of the Houston Texans
- Frank Bush was fired as Defensive Coordinator, along with 3 others on the defensive staff.
- Wade Phillips (yes, that Wade Phillips) is coming in to take over as Defensive Coordinator
- According to Matt Jackson (Sports790) it appears Bernard Pollard is on the way out.
Let's think back to things that have stayed the same in all 9 years of the Texans existence...
- Disturbed - Down With The Sickness as the player intro music... fine by me.
- AC/DC - TNT for every kickoff. Ever. Also fine by me, although I'd like a little change here.
- Clay Walker - Football Time In Houston. I can almost guarantee this song will never disappear. Home town guy writes a song for the local team? Owner is all over that. Clay Walker will be 90 years old collecting millions from the Texans.
- Cheerleader Uniforms, except for Christmas/Halloween. The rest are essentially the same.
Ok I'm nitpicking a little... but I'm kind of grasping at straws right now trying to decide what I think about this whole situation. Not happy about Kubiak coming back. Glad Bush is gone, but not sure how having 2 known to be soft coaches is gonna help on this team. McNair is clearly looking for people to be friends with the players. They need a coach. Now they don't need Mike Singletary spitting in their faces all game long, but at least a little bit of something.
As Dskillz says, this is all a ploy to get the former Oiler fans back on the Texans bandwagon. Kubiak, Bum, Wade, Pastorini, Childress, Campbell, Moon. Play the TNT (Texans N Titans) rivalry in the Astrodome, with a packed Dome, and 69,500 others watching on the screens at Reliant.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Wade.
