Question about Gary Kubiak
Posted on 1/3/15 at 9:23 pm

I don't follow the NFL very closely anymore, but I just saw on a graphic that he was the HC of the Texans for 8 years or so recently and now he is a coordinator...
Question: is this still considered an embarrassing "demotion" (maybe compare to Curley after LSU)? Or is it just sort of an accepted way station for a former coach? How much stigma is there attached to this?

I think Kubiak is a respected OC who people think doesn't have the personality to run a program.

I think it's quite common. I'm sure it's not ideal after being the main man for 8 years, but if no one will hire you as a HC, gotta take work where ever you find it

It's how most coaches get their reputation built back up for another HC run
I don't think he should be Embarassed by his time in Houston.

Great hire for the Ravens.

Not at all
They were really good in his last few years with a couple of playoff appearances.

There's so much BS that goes on with the HC position... Legal issues, domestic violence, cover ups. Coordinators get to focus on their jobs.

They were one elite quarterback away from making some noise in those appearances too. TJ Yates had to start one of those games.
I'm surprised he didn't take a few years off after his health scare. Being an NFL Head Coach seems like a miserable profession and its only a matter of time until you are forced out with few exceptions.

Ha! The Onion had this today:

With several names circulating as possibilities for the unique brand of public humiliation, speculation continued to mount Thursday over which recently fired NFL head coaches will be utterly emasculated by working as coordinators next season. “As teams begin assembling their staffs for next year, it remains to be seen whether the likes of Mike Smith will have to swallow their pride and accept a position where they will pathetically wield a mere 10 percent of their former power, authority, and prestige,” said ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter, adding that league sources are “fairly confident” in former Raiders coach Dennis Allen debasing himself as a defensive coordinator, for which he must humbly follow the orders of another head coach who was once his peer. “We know that several teams feel they could benefit from taking someone who once managed every aspect of an entire organization with total autonomy and then relegating him to the oversight of an offense or defense. There are even rumblings that at least one former head coach will pitifully spend a season taking orders from a current head coach who actually used to be his assistant.” At press time, sources confirmed that former Bears coach Marc Trestman will likely be forced to endure the ultimate embarrassment of taking a job as a quarterbacks coach

technically it's a demotion, but I don't think it's embarrassing. look at all the OCs and DCs in the league. a good number of them have been HCs at some point
