Soon enough, Gary Kubiak will get to the somewhat-less-than-life-and-death work of fixing the Ravens offense.

But after his on-field health scare last November, he’s fortunate to be able to joke about his condition. The former Texans head coach suffered a stroke-like attack on the sidelines at halftime of a Nov. 3 game against the Colts.

How do I look?” Kubiak said, via Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun. “Am I OK? No, I’m fine.”

He said he felt recharged now, and ready to get to work.

“I went through about a three-week process where I cut back my hours a little bit,” he said. “I came out of it fine. I was my old self at the end of the season. But things didn’t work out, and that’s part of this game.

“I feel great. I’ve been working out. Looking forward to getting up very early in the morning and going to work again. My wife is tired of me being around the house.”

Hopefully the decreased stress of having half a team to worry about instead of a full one will help as well.
