Klint Kubiak joined the Seahawks staff on January 26, 2025, after one season serving in the same capacity for the New Orleans Saints. It will be his 12th season as an NFL assistant and 16th overall in the coaching ranks.
It was an injury-plagued offense for Kubiak in 2024 as the Saints utilized three starting quarterbacks. Starter Derek Carr was limited to 10 games, with backups Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener starting the remaining seven games. No. 1 WR Chris Olave, a 1,000-yard receiver in each of his first two seasons, saw his third season cut to eight games and 32 receptions for 400 yards. Kubiak relied on RB Alvin Kamara, who set a career-high with 950 yards on 228 carries, the second-most of his career, while adding six rushing touchdowns. Kamara also led the team in receptions (68) for 543 yards, second-most on the team, with two touchdowns.
As the San Francisco 49ers offensive passing game specialist in 2023, Kubiak played a pivotal role in the planning and tutelage within the passing game of the 49ers. San Francisco finished the regular season ranked second in the NFL in total offense (398.4 ypg), including fourth in net passing yards per game (257.9). It finished first in the league in red zone touchdown percentage (67.2), fourth in third down conversion percentage (47.5) and were tied for the sixth-fewest turnovers in the NFL. Pro Bowl QB Brock Purdy completed 308 of 444 (69.4%) passes for 4,280 yards with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions for a league-best 113.0 passer rating, and an NFL-best 123.8 in the fourth quarter. Including Purdy, five offensive 49ers were selected to the Pro Bowl and four as Associated Press All-Pros (TE George Kittle, FB Kyle Juszczyk, RB Christian McCaffrey and T Trent Williams).
In 2022, Kubiak, served as offensive passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the Denver Broncos, after coaching three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings (2019-21), the first two seasons as quarterbacks coach and one year as offensive coordinator.
In 2021, the Vikings offense finished 12th in the NFL in total offense (362.8 ypg.) and 11th in net passing yards per game (249.3), while tying for the fewest interceptions (7) and total giveaways (13). WR Justin Jefferson finished with 108 receptions for 1,616 yards with 10 touchdowns, finishing ranked in the top-10 in all three major receiving categories, earning AP All-Pro honors. QB Kirk Cousins added the third season of his career with 4,000-or-more passing yards and 30-or-more touchdown passes, as he was named to his third Pro Bowl. Pro Bowl RB Dalvin Cook carried 249 times for 1,259 yards with six touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 224 yards.
Under Kubiak's tutelage in 2020, Cousins passed for 4,265 yards with 35 touchdowns, a 67.6 completion percentage and 105.0 passer rating, while the Vikings ranked fourth in the NFL in total offense. Cousins became the first Vikings signal-caller to record a 100+ passer rating in consecutive seasons (105.0), his second-highest of his career behind his 107.4 in 2019, which also came with Kubiak's tutoring. Working with Kubiak in 2019, Cousins also posted 3,602 passing yards and 26 touchdowns with only six interceptions, as he was named to the Pro Bowl.
During the three-season period that Kubiak was on the Vikings offensive staff from 2019-21, Cousins started all 47 games, passing for at least 26 touchdowns and had a 100.0 passer rating each season. Under Kubiak's guidance over the three seasons, Cousins ranked fourth in the NFL in passer rating (105.0), fifth in touchdown passes (94), sixth in passing yards (12,089) and seventh in completion percentage (67.6).
Kubiak served as offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach in his first coaching stint with the Broncos from 2016-18. In 2018, he helped Denver QB Case Keenum throw for 18 touchdowns and a career-high 3,890 yards. Kubiak started his NFL coaching career with the Vikings as a quality control/assistant wide receivers coach from 2013-14.
In addition to his NFL experience, Kubiak coached four years at the collegiate level with Texas A&M and Kansas. He served as an offensive quality control coach (2010-11) and graduate assistant/inside wide receivers coach (2012) for Texas A&M, earning his master's degree in human resource development. Kubiak coached wide receivers for the Jayhawks in 2015.
Kubiak was a four-year letterman at Colorado State. He played safety for the Rams and was named a team captain as a senior, while earning an invite to play in the East-West Shrine Game.
He is the oldest son of Gary Kubiak, who played quarterback for the Denver Broncos for nine seasons (1983-91), long-time NFL assistant coach, Houston Texans head coach (2006-13), and Super Bowl 50-winning head coach for the Broncos (2015-16). He has two brothers, Klay, the San Francisco 49ers offensive passing game specialist, and Klein, who serves as a national scout/special projects for the Dallas Cowboys.
