Bleacher Report's James Palmer and former NFL QB Jake Heaps break down why new Seattle Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak's scheme will mesh well with QB Geno Smith.

The Seattle Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak to fill their offensive coordinator role under head coach Mike Macdonald, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

He is the son of Gary Kubiak ... the biggest reason why the defensive-minded Macdonald fired the pass-happy Grubb after just one season. That likely wouldn't be much of a question with Fraley, even though he's never been a coordinator.

The Seahawks announced Sunday night during the NFL’s conference championship games they have hired 37-year-old Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator. So ends the search that began Jan. 6, the day coach Mike Macdonald fired Ryan Grubb after his only season calling Seattle’s plays.

Kubiak spent 2024 as the New Orleans Saints' offensive coordinator. After the Saints fired coach Dennis Allen in early November, Kubiak stayed on under interim coach Darren Rizzi. However, the Saints have yet to hire a head coach, so Kubiak was free to leave for another job.

The Seattle Seahawks are hiring former New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to fill the same role on Seattle coach Mike Macdonald’s staff, the Seahawks announced Sunday.

Klint Kubiak, who has previously served as offensive coordinator of the Vikings and Saints, has been hired to serve in the same role for the Seahawks.

The Seahawks made their big coaching move of the offseason, hiring Klint Kubiak on Sunday as their offensive coordinator to replace the fired Ryan Grubb.

Kubiak, the son of former head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterback Gary Kubiak, brings experiences at the pro level that Grubb lacked. It appears to be a safer hire. Whether it’s pedigree or some old-fashioned NFL nepotism, Kubiak knows his way around an NFL locker room.

Now, one year after Slowik had emerged as a head coaching candidate interviewing with the Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers and not landing any offers only to return to the Texans on an upgraded contract with a much higher salary, he’s out.

The Saints will go up against two of their recently-hired coaches on the road in 2025, with Klint Kubiak on the Seattle Seahawks and Dennis Allen on the Chicago Bears:
