Quote:The Texans aren't interested in winning anymore games, it's obvious. Gary Kubiak hinted last night after the game Matt Schaub would likely be his starting the rest of this season, Schaub obviously gives the Texans the best chance to win, that fire (no pun intended) was quickly extinguished with the firing of Kubiak today. Its not inconceivable that if Schaub started both games against the Jaguars they'd have two more wins. The Texans know what they have in Keenum, so there's nothing to evaluate, the tanking doesn't come from Kubiak as he was coaching for his job, the tanking comes from the owner and GM (Rick Smith) who's long term agenda doesn't coincides with Kubiak's short term.

 

Yep say it all right here in rotoworld: 

 

they are tanking. 

 

 

its proven by the owner insisting on going back to Keenum when Schaub was better last night and Kubiak hinting on going back to Schaub. I guess I had it wrong about Kubiak being in on it, because him wanting to start Schaub goes against tanking, maybe some sort of falling out happened recently with Kubiak and McNair so Kubiak going to Schaub would be a defiant move, hence he was fired today before the damage (winning some of the last 3 games) could be done....

 

per rotoworld: 

 

 

 

The Texans announced Case Keenum will start in Week 15 against the Colts.
 
Coach Gary Kubiak said after Thursday night's loss to the Jaguars that Matt Schaub was an "unbelievable pro" and would be considered for the starting job for the rest of the season. Kubiak was then fired Friday morning. The 2-11 Texans are in full-blown evaluation mode, and it makes no sense to give Schaub anymore starts. His time is likely done in Houston, as well. Keenum has struggled mightily in recent weeks. He won't be a recommended fantasy option.
