Klint Kubiak | Meet the 2024 New Orleans Saints Coaches

Klint Kubiak enters his first season as offensive coordinator with the Saints, his 11th season in the NFL and his 15th overall campaign as a coach. He comes to New Orleans after serving as the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive passing specialist in 2023.

In 2023, Kubiak played a pivotal role in planning and overseeing the passing game of the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers finished the regular season ranked second in the NFL in total offense (398.4 ypg), including fourth in net yards per game (257.9). San Francisco finished first in the league in red zone touchdown percentage (67.2), fourth in third down conversion percentage (47.5) and was tied for the sixth fewest turnovers in the NFL. Pro Bowl QB Brock Purdy completed 308 of 444 passes (69.4%) for 4,280 yards with 21 touchdowns against just 11 interceptions and a league-best 113.0 passer rating of 123 .8 in the fourth quarter, the best in the NFL. Including Purdy, five 49ers offensive players were selected to the Pro Bowl and four as Associated Press All-Pros (TE George Kittle, FB Kyle Juszczyk, RB Christian McCaffrey and LT Trent Williams).

In 2022, Kubiak served as the 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 ten touchdowns, ranking in the top ten in all three major receiving categories, earning AP All-Pro honors. QB Kirk Cousins ​​added his third career season with 4,000 or more passing yards and 30 or more touchdown passes, earning his third Pro Bowl appearance. RB Dalvin Cook carried the ball 249 times for 1,259 yards with six touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 224 yards, earning a Pro Bowl selection.

Under Kubiak’s tutelage in 2020, Cousins ​​passed for 4,265 yards with 35 touchdowns, a 67.6 completion percentage and a 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 passer rating over 100 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 recorded 3,602 passing yards and 26 touchdowns with just six interceptions, as he was named to the Pro Bowl.

In the three seasons that Kubiak was a part of the Vikings’ offensive staff from 2019 to 2021, Cousins ​​started all 47 games, threw at least 26 touchdown passes, and had a passer rating of 100.0 or higher 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 an assistant coach and offensive quarterbacks coach during his first stint with the Broncos from 2016-18. In 2018, he helped Denver quarterback Case Keenum throw for 18 touchdowns and a career-high 3,890 yards. Kubiak began his NFL coaching career with the Vikings as an assistant coach and receivers quality control coach from 2013-14.

In addition to his NFL experience, Kubiak coached for four years at the collegiate level with Texas A&M University and Kansas. He served as offensive quality control coach (2010-11) and graduate assistant/inside 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.
