Saved By His Stroke

Reports indicate that Texan coach Gary Kubiak will be back on the sidelines after suffering a slight stroke during a game two weeks ago.

Kubiak's situation illustrates the health challenges faced by coaches in a job surrounded by stress. His name has been prominently mentioned for coaches who might get fired before the end of the season. I'm sure that contributed to his stress level.

It would be a public relations disaster for the team to fire Kubiak now. They must let him finish the season no matter what happens. I don't think he will be coaching there next season. The team will make a deal with him at the end of the season to ease him away.
