The Seattle Seahawks snuck in their hiring of Klint Kubiak as offensive coordinator during the Championship Weekend games.
The former New Orleans Saints coordinator has twice now been victim of his head coach getting fired, resulting in finding a new home.
Despite the fact that Kubiak has never held the position for more than a full season, and despite the fact that we were all watching Saquon Barkley restore order to Pennsylvania, people still weighed in on the hiring.
And the reactions were highly positive.
Seahawks officially hire Klint Kubiak as their OC.
Probably the best option available if they were looking into Bobby Slowik.
Good hire.

Never know until it actually happens, but all in on Kubiak. Now wishing the next Seahawks game were sooner than 7+ months https://t.co/uSbsZ3try7

Kubiak’s number 1 job is not resurrecting the run game, but play-action. Hopefully run improvement follows that though.

A wide range of voices chimed in over the weekend. The following is from a Denver radio host.
Need to see which coach will be new #Seahawks’ offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s OL coach. And a run game coordinator?
A year on from making an ambitious hire in Ryan Grubb, Seattle goes a bit safer with the 37-yo Kubiak. Crazy Kubiak was a head coaching candidate last year..

For any that had the time to check in on the first two games of the 2024 Alvin Kamara Saints, it does make one wonder about the future of Kenneth Walker.
If Klint Kubiak lands w/ the Seahawks as OC, Ken Walker will end up on nearly 100% of my 2025 Fantasy Teams
The Kubiak Zone Scheme has been a Running Back goldmine for decades. Wherever Klint lands = sneaky crucial to monitor

Thanks, Gee!
Obviously not everyone agrees dissenting voices were issued as well. Not the least of which was just this past Wednesday, when Daniel Jeremiah indicated (as seen below) that Kubiak might not be the best fit for these current Seahawks.
Regardless, here we go. With somebody far more familiar with actual NFL offenses than Ryan Grubb. Seattle can now head to the draft, free agency, Senior Bowl, contract negotiations, and all important decisions-to-be-made with their offensive mind able to weigh in.
