The Seattle Seahawks have hired Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator, following a thorough three-week search to fill the position after Ryan Grubb's dismissal. Kubiak, who has served as offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints, comes with a mixed record in his previous roles. The Seahawks are optimistic about Kubiak's alignment with head coach Mike Macdonald's philosophy and are focusing more on Kubiak's potential than his recent performance, which saw the Saints' offense rank low due to injuries impacting key players.
The Seahawks are banking on Kubiak's strong reputation and philosophical alignment with Macdonald more than his recent resume.
Klint Kubiak, 37, has two previous OC stints on his resume, having held that role with the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and the Saints this past season.
Grubb was fired in large part because the Seahawks did not run the ball as often or as well as Macdonald preferred.
The Saints' offense in 2024 ranked 24th in scoring, as injuries sidelined several key players, impacting performance significantly.
