New Orleans Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen has announced that Klint Kubiak has been hired as offensive coordinator. Kubiak joins the Saints from the San Francisco 49ers, where he spent the 2023 season as the team's offensive passing game specialist. Kubiak is a 14-year coaching veteran, including 10 seasons in the NFL.

"We are excited to announce Klint Kubiak as our offensive coordinator," Allen said. "I want to thank the various impressive candidates that we interviewed throughout this process. Klint has done an excellent job in a variety of roles in 10 years in the NFL and has valuable play-calling experience. He has played an important role in the growth of many players throughout his career, starting with the quarterback position. I look forward to us getting to work as we form our offensive staff and to see Klint lead that group, play a pivotal role in the development of our players on offense and maximize our strengths on offense."

In 2023, Kubiak played an important role in the planning and tutelage of the passing game for the Super Bowl LVIII finalist 49ers. San Francisco ranked second in the NFL in total offense (398.4 ypg.), including fourth in net passing yards per game (257.9). San Francisco finished first in the league in red zone touchdown percentage (67.2), fourth in the league in third down conversion percentage (47.5) and was tied for the sixth-fewest turnovers in the NFL. Pro Bowl quarterback Brock Purdy completed 308-of-444 passes (69.4%) for 4,280 yards with 21 touchdowns, only 11 interceptions and a league-best 113.0 passer rating, an NFL-best 123.8 in the fourth quarter. Including Purdy, five offensive 49ers were selected to the Pro Bowl. Four were selected as Associated Press All-Pros (tight end George Kittle, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, running back Christian McCaffrey and left tackle 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 12^th in total offense (362.8 ypg.) and 11^th in net passing yards per game (249.3), while tying for the fewest interceptions (seven) and total giveaways (13). Wide receiver 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. Quarterback 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. Running back Dalvin Cook carried 249 times for 1,259 yards with six touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 224 yards, as he was selected to the Pro Bowl.

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 and the Vikings ranked fourth in the NFL in total offense. Cousins became the first Vikings quarterback 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 threw 26 touchdowns with only six interceptions, tied for fifth-lowest in the NFL, as he was named to the Pro Bowl.

The Houston native served as offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach with the Denver Broncos from 2016-18. 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 has coached four years at the collegiate level with Texas A&M and Kansas. Kubiak served as an offensive quality control coach (2010-11) and graduate assistant/inside wide receivers coach (2012) for Texas A&M and coached wide receivers for Kansas in 2015.

Kubiak was a five-year letterman at Colorado State, where he played safety for the Rams and was named a team captain as a senior. He is the son of longtime NFL quarterback and coach, Gary Kubiak, who won Super Bowl 50 as head coach of the Denver Broncos and was head coach of the Houston Texans from 2006-13. His younger brother, Klay, is the assistant quarterbacks coach for the 49ers.
