Seahawks hired Saints OC Klint Kubiak as their new Offensive Coordinator (14 Viewers)

He’s a quality OC.

He had a burnt grilled cheese to work with in New Orleans.

 

[HoustonGold]

The media agrees with you that the Saints are trolling? What does that even mean?

oh Lord.

We are close to a new Head Coach. I can sense it.

 

[NatureBoy]

Letting Kubiak walk makes me believe Rizzi is out.

 

[Chopper Man]

I love what Kubiak did with the Taysom Hill role. If only Taysom had remained healthy. Carmichael never utilized Hill like he should have.

1 year as OC in Minnesota. 1 year as OC in New Orleans. Now OC in Seattle.

Im good with him walking. 2 1 and dones, moved to the same position on a 3rd team and didnt leave any OC position to get promoted to HC.

He is our offensive Steve Spagnuolo. But without the actual success prior.

Hardly his fault. Our one and done was an absolute dumpster fire. He wasn't in charge of our personnel issues with no depth on the offensive line or skill positions.

He got caught up in the end of Zimmer in Minnesota as well.

Yeah. Can’t argue with that. Results are results, but I agree with your points.

 

[SuperSaint]

Our longest and most successful time was - you guessed it with Loomis as the GM

Maybe in his prime, he's over the hill now, clinging to past glory and overlooking the problems that are self-evident for all to see

Injuries are part of the NFL. I never saw any adjustment to the situation. No creativity to get the offense going outside of a few late season plays that went poorly.

We all know injuries are a part of the game. So you blame your OC for the team being ravaged by injuries and he’s playing with what amounts to high school players against pro players?

 

[jasonsw]

I will not be surprised if he has success in Seattle

How, geno sucks

 

[Centmssaint1]

Well he hit the ground running with the Saints...

And then the avalanche of injuries hit him.

 

[TenTwo]

It has to be Kellen right?

You don’t let a great OC walk laterally without the next plan in place.

You don’t watch the guy who’s been helping your head coach watch take an assistant GM role elsewhere without the next plan in place.

Flying to Philly is basically telling us without officially announcing it that it’s Kellen Moore

I'm not blaming him. Coaching and running an offense isn't that hard when you have your best players healthy and depth behind them. A great coach can coach beyond the individual abilities of their players and create a unit that plays well together. He didn't really do that. Which makes him not a great coach, just a coach. And that's not a knock, there aren't a lot of those guys. He's just not one of them and we know that now.

Yes they are, and most teams see a commensurate drop in performance. More often than not, multiple injuries to your best or key players in your offense are going to lead to losses against good teams who are relatively healthy.

Coaching matters and can adjust to injuries, but there are limits. I'm not sure there was much Kubiak could do differently to turn those losses into wins. Realistically, there isn't a coach in the league who can overcome that many losses in the offense and still win with the roster we had.

And I haven't even mentioned Denny Allen's terrible leadership did Kubiak no favors.

Kubiak had his issues with 2nd half adjustments, but I think he'll take what he learned this season and do things differently in Seattle. We'll see.

 

[DaveXA]

I'd be more concerned that he would go on to have a great career if what we saw here wasn't very similar to how he did in Minnesota.

I think any coach dealing with what Kubiak had to deal with last season should get a mulligan for last season. Particularly a young coach only in his second season as OC.

Yes, there are injuries and there is being decimated by injuries, especially to 1 position group. This absurd idea that every team has the same amount of injuries and it should be business as usual makes me SMH
