Texans signed coach Gary Kubiak and GM Rick Smith to contract extensions.
Their old contracts expired after the 2012 season. During his six years as head coach, Kubiak has gone 47-49 and guided the Texans to their first ever playoff berth last season despite a crippling injury to Matt Schaub. Smith's resume includes trading for Schaub, snatching up an undrafted Arian Foster and signing shadow corner Johnathan Joseph. Kubiak is now under contract through 2014 and Smith is locked up through 2016. Thu, Jun 14, 2012 11:45:00 AM

Texans hired Karl Dorrell as quarterbacks coach.

Best known for his rocky tenure as the head coach of UCLA, Dorrell worked alongside Gary Kubiak as the Broncos' WRs coach from 2000-02. He spent the past four seasons as a Dolphins' assistant, coaching WRs from 2008-10 and QBs in 2011. He'll be tasked with furthering backup QB T.J. Yates' development as Matt Schaub comes back from a serious foot injury.

Texans owner Bob McNair is expected to reward coach Gary Kubiak and GM Rick Smith with contract extensions this offseason.

It's well deserved. Smith has built a young powerhouse roster, and Kubiak has the franchise poised to dominate the AFC South for the next couple of seasons. "We'll be back next season, and we'll be even better," McNair said. "We made so much progress. This was an unbelievable season." A Kubiak extension would provide long-term stability for Arian Foster's Dynasty value.

Texans owner Bob McNair confirmed Monday that Gary Kubiak will return as the team's head coach in 2011.

Kubiak is 37-43 without a playoff berth in five years on the job. McNair's hope is that overhauling the defensive staff will fix the issues in Houston. "It's got to be quick," said Kubiak about the process of replacing fired defensive coordinator Frank Bush. "We've got to start tonight." Ex-Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips is fully expected to run Houston's 2011 defense.

Sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter that Texans head coach Gary Kubiak will return for the 2011 season.

This despite the fact that the team has lost eight of its last nine games. Kubiak will almost certainly be asked to overhaul his entire defensive staff, as the team ranks 29th in total defense and 30th in points allowed. Defensive coordinator Frank Bush is as good as gone.

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle is "hearing" that the Texans will keep head coach Gary Kubiak in 2011, but demand he fire defensive coordinator Frank Bush and secondary coach David Gibbs.

The Texans' 5-10 record aside, the idea makes sense considering Kubiak is an offensive mind. Houston ranks 29th in total defense as well as 30th in points allowed. They're dead last against the pass, as receivers and tight ends have been running wide open in the Houston secondary all year. The Texans are fifth in total offense, sixth in passing, and 10th in rushing.

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle now predicts that Gary Kubiak will be back as Texans head coach in 2011.

McClain, as clued in to his team as beat writers get, expected the firing immediately after Houston's Week 16 loss to Denver. McClain now believes owner Bob McNair will confirm Kubiak's return next Monday, potentially after a Week 17 win over David Garrard-less Jacksonville. McClain notes that McNair "loves Kubiak," and "believes he will win." If Kubiak returns, it would take another potential Broncos coaching candidate off the table. Kubiak would almost certainly have to overhaul his entire defensive staff.

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle predicts that the Texans' entire coaching staff will be fired at season's end.

McClain believes that the Texans' collapse to a Tim Tebow-led team after a 17-0 first-half lead will prove the straw that breaks Gary Kubiak's back. Kubiak is 36-43 without a playoff appearance in five seasons with Houston. He's obviously turned around the offense since the days of David Carr and Wali Lundy, but the Texans' penchant for late-game implosions and Kubiak's allegiance to defensive coordinator Frank Bush may seal his fate.

Owner Bob McNair was assured after hearing from other owners around the league that the Texans are "on the right track."

"The level of respect they have for our team and how close they think we are to having not just a good team but an outstanding team — it was nice to hear your peer group say that," said McMair. Those aren't the words of an owner planning to make a head coaching change in the offseason. Defensive coordinator Frank Bush is on the hot seat, but Gary Kubiak's job looks safe for 2011.

The Texans have signed coach Gary Kubiak to a new three-year contract that runs through 2012.

Kubiak actually turned down a fourth year because he wanted to be "on the same path" as his assistants, whose contracts expire in 2012. Though he's yet to turn the Texans into a serious contender, Kubiak (31-33 in four years) has them headed in the right direction for the first time in franchise history. He's rewarded for being in Wild Card contention until the final day of the season, and the team is poised to finally break through in 2010.

Texans owner Bob McNair said late Monday that the team is in serious talks about a contract extension for Gary Kubiak.

"Now we're in the process of working on Gary's extension, and I think probably by next week, we'll have his finalized," McNair said. "His will run at least one year longer than (2012), maybe more." Kubiak is entering his fifth year as Texans head coach and the last year on his old contract. "I think continuity's extremely important in building a strong team," McNair said.

Texans hired former Seahawks offensive coordinator Greg Knapp as quarterbacks coach.

It's a step back for Knapp, who has been a run-heavy offensive coordinator since 2001. With Gary Kubiak's expertise coming in the passing game, the Texans can afford to have both Knapp and new offensive coordinator Rick Dennison steeped in a zone-blocking ground attack. Knapp does have a history with Matt Schaub, working with him for three years in Atlanta as offensive coordinator.

Former Broncos OL coach Rick Dennison has accepted the Texans' offensive coordinator position.

Gary Kubiak's best friend has big shoes to fill after Kyle Shanahan's offense set team records in points and total yards. An assistant with the Broncos for 15 years, Dennison was a constant in Denver's strong running game. He's expected to improve the Texans' struggling ground attack while having some influence on play-calling. Since Dennison has little experience with the passing game, Kubiak could resume a hands-on role in that capacity.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that he hopes to have an answer from offensive coordinator candidate Rick Dennison "within the next 24-48 hours."

Dennison, the Broncos' line coach, met with Kubiak all day Monday. "He's going to be leaving here today with a chance to sit down and talk to his wife about our situation," Kubiak said, adding that the interview went "very good." Kubiak has made it clear that the position is Dennison's if he accepts it.

The Texans have been granted permission to interview Broncos OL coach Rick Dennison for their offensive coordinator job.

The interview is considered a "formality," as Dennison is the heavy favorite to replace Kyle Shanahan. Dennison has a long history with Gary Kubiak.
