HOUSTON (AP) – Texans owner Bob McNair thinks Gary Kubiak will learn from the low points of this season and become a better coach because of them.
Kubiak will return for a sixth season in Houston, but the team fired four defensive assistants on Monday, including coordinator Frank Bush. The Texans (6-10) lost eight of their last 10 games and had the league’s 30th-ranked defense.
McNair said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that he kept Kubiak because he felt like the players continued to work hard and stayed together as the season unraveled.
McNair acknowledged that former Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips is a top candidate to become the next defensive coordinator, but added that he’s “one of several.” McNair wants a new coordinator in place within two weeks.
