Whipped Cream Difficulties

Earlier today, I was thinking to myself:

1. Things are slow. There’s not really much worth writing about.
2. “Gee, I wonder if any NFL coaches are going to be fired before the season ends. They haven’t canned Schiano yet, Jacksonville is kind of on an upswing, and I don’t think the Texans are going to fire Kubiak before the season ends…”

Well, I was wrong wrong wrongity wrong!

Gary Kubiak, who led the Houston Texans to back-to-back AFC South division titles and the franchise’s only two playoff victories but stumbled to 11 straight losses and a 2-11 record this year, was fired on Friday.

Wade Philips will be the interim coach. And Case Keenum will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.

Analysis of Kubiak’s years here must include yin and yang, as his run with the Texans will be remembered for successes and failures. Triumphs and defeats. Ups and downs.
Mathematically, in fact, there is almost an equal number of each.
Unfortunately for him, mediocrity was the standard.

Kubiak’s overall record with the Texans was 61-64.

Edited to add: The team also fired Joe Marciano, special teams coordinator “who had been with the organization since its inception in 2002”.
