Head Coach: Gary Kubiak I feel that Kubiak would bring A&M back to where they a supposed to be. I wish we could can fran. and his poor coaching ability for Kubiak. Wishing and getting are two very diff. things though, it would be very difficult to steal Kubiak away from The Texans. Does anyone know how much Kubiak gets paid by the Texans? Well anyways heres Kubiaks background:
Pro Career: Gary Kubiak was introduced as the second head coach in Houston Texans history on Jan. 26, 2006. Kubiak returns to Houston to start his head coaching career after spending 20 of the past 23 years in the Denver area, first as a player and then later as an assistant coach.
For the last 11 years, Kubiak served as Denver's offensive coordinator, helping guide the Broncos to back-to-back World Championships in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII and three AFC West Division titles.
Kubiak tutored Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway from 1995-98 and oversaw the most dominant rushing attack in the NFL. In 1998, running back Terrell Davis was named NFL Most Valuable Player after becoming the fourth player in league history to rush for over 2,000 yards.
In Kubiak's 11 years in Denver, the Broncos had 28 Pro Bowl players on the offensive side of the ball.
Kubiak began his coaching career in 1992 at his alma mater, Texas A&M, as running backs coach. There he guided Greg Hill to second-team All-America honors in 1993.
Kubiak started his NFL coaching career with the San Francisco 49ers as the quarterbacks coach. In his lone season in San Francisco, he guided Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young to league MVP honors. Under Kubiak's tutelage, Young posted an NFL-record 112.8 quarterback rating and was named MVP of Super Bowl XXIX after tossing a Super Bowl-record six touchdown passes.
Kubiak is a veteran of six Super Bowls-three as a player and three as a coach-and has coached three World Championship teams.
Background: Kubiak starred at quarterback for Texas A&M from 1979-1982, earning all-Southwest Conference honors as a senior. He played for the Broncos from 1983-1991 as the backup to Elway. Kubiak played in 119 games during his career and tossed 14 touchdowns in that span. During his time as a player in the Mile High City, he was a part of three teams that reached the Super Bowl.
Personal: Born August 15, 1961 in Houston. He and his wife, Rhonda, have three sons-Klint, Klay and Klein.

Would be a great replacement, but if Houston keeps doing well this year, there is no way they get him away from the Texans unless there is a total meltdown of some sort.

Yeah I know,...the only hope is that he might want to settle down kinda get away from the big city lol (doubt it) And come back to his roots at A&M and make his own legacy at A&M. The A&M tradition and spirit is not something that leaves very easily, and I know he has it. Listen to it Kub! lol Hey does anyone know who much he gets paid?

Nice thought, but I doubt A&M can get Kubiak. I think dudes are crazy NOT to take college jobs over the pros. The money is just as good at most major colleges and although the pressure is great from alumni it still does not compare to the pressure of being an NFL head coach. Look at Nick Saban leaving LSU for the Dolphins only to realize the NFL it ain't what it's cracked up to be. Saban was lucky that Alabama was stupid enough to pay him that kind of money.
The NFL is the allure but I think major college football is much better.
Bummer for the Aggies on Thursday but that's Miami for you. When they rise to the occasion they can be tough. I witnessed it before. I'm a VT Hokie.
Anyway, I have a lot of friends who are Aggies so good luck to you the rest of the way. Gig 'Em!

Well thanks, the only thing about Kubiak is he IS an NFL type coach hes been Coaching with in the NFL for so Long I thing that he knows how to deal with it, Saban left college ball and figured out how different NFL was and came back to College Ball. Thats why I am wondering how much Kubiak is getting paid with the Texans...I know A&M knows how to unlock the vault for a good Coach but we just havent found him yet. I hope Kubiak decides that hes had enough of Pro-ball. (doubt it though) You know the saying "you can wish in one hand, and sShit in the other and see which one fills up first"

Kubiak signed a 5 year deal with the texans worth about 10 million. And the way the Texans are playing i dont see him leaving. Plus i agree he is a pro ball coach. I dont think he will leave, especially being a houston native. But....on the other hand if he did leave A&M would be a perfect fit for him. He did briefly coach there before leaving for the bronco's he also used to be an aggie quarterback. So it would be a great fit, if he doesnt work out in houston. But i think he will be a great NFL coach and dont see that happening.

The only way that we get Kubiak is when the Texans go into the tank. They have a solid defense, and many think that there issues at QB are solved (I am still on the fence on that one). Basically, I think that the Texans are set pretty good for many years, enough to keep Kubiak in the pros. I would love it if he would come, but I do not plan on waiting that long. I say keep on eye on Art Briles. He has an immediate plug in to the Texas High School talent pipeline from his days at Stephenville, Texas Tech, and now Houston. If he can win at "Cougar High", he could win at College Station...

Texas A&M needs a coach that cares about winning, and that would be Gary Kubiak. He is an alumnus of Texas A&M. The AD of Texas A&M and the other higher ups should look into this. We would have to be willing to pay whatever it takes to get this guy. The AD has already found his leverage with Fran with the infamous newsletter and will not have to pay him. That account for 3 million/year. I'm sure A&M has deep pockets that can cover the rest. This has to be done. A&M lost to Texas Tech 35-7 and that is outrageous. And coach Fran just doesn't seem to care at all....
