Gary Kubiak
Head Coach, Houston Texans
Gary Kubiak returned to his hometown of Houston on January 26, 2006 becoming the second head coach in the history of the Houston Texans, replacing Dom Capers. In his rookie season as a head coach, Kubiak guided the Texans to a 6-10 record, tripling the team’s win total of the year before. The six victories included wins in three of the last five games of the season and the franchise’s first-ever win over Indianapolis. Six wins were the second-most in franchise history. All six wins came versus AFC opponents, giving the Texans their most wins over conference foes in team annals. Houston’s three wins in December matched the best month in team history, and wins over Indianapolis and Cleveland to close the year gave the Texans back-to-back wins for the first time in 32 games. The win over Cleveland on New Year’s Eve was the team’s first season-ending victory in five years. Kubiak guided his team to a 4-4 record at home, the most wins at Reliant Stadium in team history.
