Gary Kubiak Must Get It Straight in 2011 Using Himself as a Measuring Stick

The Houston Texans have steadily moved upward except for a glitch in the 2010 season when the data took a dip.

Consider this table of wins:

2002	4
2003	5	up
2004	7	up
2005	2	down
2006	6	up
2007	8	up
2008	8	same
2009	9	up
2010	6	down

Under the coaching of Gary Kubiak, the Houston Texans reached a maximum of 9 wins in 2009. From 2006 to 2008 there was a steady increase in wins.

If the head coach studies his data, he probably realizes that he has to outperform his top year in 2009, and show the fans (and owner) that the potential must get transformed to nine or more wins in 2011.

If you look at the 2010 data, and study the pattern before and after the bye week, you see a disappointing pattern. Before the bye week the Texans won about 67 percent of the games during the regular season in 2010.

After the bye, the Texans won only 20 percent of the remaining games in the regular season.

Do you wonder what might have happened during that week? Why was there about a 47 percent decrease in wins for the Houston Texans?

Let's hope this pattern does not repeat itself in 2011.

Strong and tough coaching before and after the bye just might be what is needed to increase the percentage of wins from a low 20 percent to at least the percentage attained before the bye in 2010.

Just do it and win those games before and after the bye week in 2011!
