From the Houston Chronicle…

Titans coach Jeff Fisher has a 5-0 record against Texans coach Gary Kubiak.

It’s a good thing owner Bud Adams didn’t listen to Houston fans when they didn’t want Fisher hired because he was a longtime assistant with no head coaching experience and later when they wanted him fired because it took his team so long to compile a winning record.

Fisher’s record after his first 34 games was 14-20. Guess what Kubiak’s record is at the same stage of his career? If you answered 14-20, come to the front of the class.

And yet so many fans want Kubiak fired two games into his third season – road losses to Pittsburgh and Tennessee, who are a combined 5-1 after making the playoffs last season.

Fisher took over the Oilers 10 games into the 1994 season. He finished 8-8 in his second full season, same as Kubiak.

Fisher didn’t have a winning record until the 1999 season when they became the Titans, and the franchise reached the Super Bowl for the first time.

Now Fisher is recognized as one of the NFL’s best coaches. He has the longest current tenure with his team.

Then John McClain (Boy, what does that sound like) goes on to list a number of other reasons why Texan fans need to be patient.  It is a thoughtful piece.
