Gary Kubiak is the winningest head coach in Texans history<br />
with 36 career victories in four-plus years, including<br />
the three best seasons in team history from 2007-09. One<br />
of Kubiak’s primary goals upon arriving in Houston was to<br />
create a home field advantage at Reliant Stadium, and he<br />
has made great strides<br />
in that direction. The<br />
Texans have posted<br />
a 23-15 (.605 winning<br />
pct.) home record<br />
since 2006.<br />
Kubiak guided the<br />
Texans to a 9-7 record<br />
in 2009, highlighted<br />
by a season-ending<br />
four-game win streak<br />
to capture the franchise’s first winning season. Houston<br />
narrowly missed its first-ever playoff berth, losing a tiebreaker<br />
for the final spot on the last day of the season.<br />
The 2009 Texans set franchise records for total offense,<br />
scoring offense, total defense and scoring defense. A<br />
franchise-record five players earned trips to the Pro Bowl,<br />
led by Pro Bowl MVP Matt Schaub.<br />
The 2008 Texans matched their record from the year before,<br />
going 8-8 for a second straight year despite an 0-4<br />
start in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which devastated<br />
much of Houston and southeast Texas. Houston became<br />
just the tenth team in <strong>NFL</strong> history to start a year 0-4 and finish<br />
with a record at or above .500. Houston was one of 11<br />
teams to go 8-4 or better over the last 12 games; and nine<br />
of those teams were in the playoffs. The offense enjoyed<br />
its most productive season to date, ranking third in the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
and setting a franchise record with 6,113 total yards.<br />
Year two for Kubiak saw the team achieve the best record<br />
in franchise history, finishing 8-8. The Texans won<br />
three of their last four and five of their last seven to finish<br />
the season at .500. In addition, the Texans set a team mark<br />
with a 6-2 record at Reliant Stadium in 2007.<br />
In his rookie season, Kubiak tripled the team’s win total<br />
of the previous year, guiding the club to a 6-10 record. The<br />
six victories included wins in three of the last five games<br />
of the season and the franchise’s<br />
first ever win against<br />
Indianapolis. All six wins<br />
came versus AFC opponents,<br />
giving the Texans their most<br />
wins against conference foes<br />
in team annals.<br />
