Maybe the problem is not BOB, Rick Smith, Casserly, or Kubiak... but the McNairs. https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2020/...k-vikings-system-matt-lafleur-kevin-stefanski Gary Kubiak Helped Shape the Modern NFL. Now, He’s Stepping Back Into It. Kubiak and Mike Shanahan created the system that Matt LaFleur, Kyle Shanahan, and more coaches use today. And now the Vikings offensive coordinator is returning to show just how far it can go.
No, it was Kubiak. Head coaching is far more than running an offensive scheme, it's being responsible for all phases of the game. The McNairs contributed to Kubiak's success by covering for one of his great weaknesses, an inability to identify defensive coaching competency. Arguably, without the McNairs Kubiak never would have won it all.
If we could have had Kubiaks offense with Watson and RACs defense (with talent) we would have won a ring!! Fantasy time for the win!
I'm not sure what that point is. Kubiak won a Super Bowl, is that in question? He did not want to hire Wade and was forced to. He also says that Wade was not his first choice in Denver. It's not clear Wade would have hired in Denver without his previous stint in Houston, or that Kubiak would have been either, so yeah, without the McNairs forcing Wade's hire, it's not at all clear that Kubiak would have won a SB. I like Kubiak, and Wade, and am happy they won it all, but objectively Kubiak was not a good HC.
Not as a HC, but I think he would have been a perfect offensive mind for Deshaun Watson. The zone running game and play-action bootleg we used to run would make him thrive.
And yet BOB's had as much success as Kubiak had on Kirby. No I dont want Kubiak back as HC or BOB back as HC for that matter. They're too conservative for my taste.
