Seahawks hired Saints OC Klint Kubiak as their new Offensive Coordinator (7 Viewers)

[whiteshadowen]

I am beginning to align with those who want to just burn it down next year, get our cap issues resolved no matter how bad a team we end up having to put out there. New coach would have to come in with that being the plan.

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?

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

Maybe, but with DA, until this season the saints were .500. This season the wheels came off. Was it coaching, injuries, talent, or something else. But if the Bears and the Seahawks have good seasons next year we can probably assume coaching wasn't the problem

 

[Rouxdat]

Did we release kubiak from his contract? That is a lateral move for him so has to be the case right?

Unless they added a title, like Assistant Head Coach, then that would be considered a promotion. Letting him walk is a pretty clear indicator that the new coach will be their own OC and call plays. So probably McCarthy or Moore. They would have released Kubiak, and then the Saints would have had to eat his contract.

It has to be torn down to the studs. It is beyond delusional to think the Saints are "just a few pieces away" or "just a few injuries derailed the team" and think that the Saints are a good team.

They are not. They are bad. I mean, really bad and they need to start over.

I'm talking trade Carr, Kamara, Olave, Jordan, Davis all the aging players. Bite the bullet and eat the dead money and move on. Loomis screwed up trying to "win now" and he lost. Suck it up, realize your mistakes and move on.

2025 is going to be horrible, we just have to realize it and accept it. You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs.......

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.

Your opinion.

 

[Elvis]

Your opinion.

Correct.

 

[Hubig]

He sucked, he couldn't adjust worth a crap at halftime. Both games vs the Bucs will tell you how bad of an OC he actually was. All Bowles did was blitz in the 2nd half of the first game, made no adjustments. In the second game, had no answer once Bowles adjusted again.

I wasn't a big fan. Something was going on. His game time adjustments were not good. I don't know if he was the issue or it was a DA/Rizzi issue or what. But as soon as defenses adjusted our offense constantly stalled for remainder of the game.

 

[St.Dan]

Increases the chances the team might just eat whatever they have to eat contract-wise to move on from Carr. Let's assume McCarthy, Brady or Kafka isn't going to change their stripes in terms of the style of offense they've run.....are either of those styles compatible with what Carr can do? And can they coach up Rattler? A transcendent QB isn't walkin' through that door! (at least in 2025, anyway).

 

[Gumbo's Dad]

Good that offense was brought in by DA to maximize Carr. Time to hop off the “if only” train w/ Carr. His franchise QB days are over, he’s a bridge/mentor.

I was ok w/ keeping him for the sake of having Rattler develop in the same offense but also realize the reality of him and Carr starting on the same ground level gives him an opportunity to overtake him

I choose option c, none of the above.

 

[AARPSaint]

In game adjustments were poor for whatever reasons. My concern is that the offense will have to learn yet another new system.

With all the new players from the multiple tradedowns during the draft, maybe learning the new system won’t be that big of a deal. /sarcasm

 

[t_s_whodat]

I liked Kubiak, but as soon as the OLine started getting injured, the train fell off the rails. I don't see success in Seattle incoming, but primarily because their OLine isn't good (unless they kill it in the draft this year). Just my two cents. They have been a team riddled with injuries two these last couple of years.

I think Kubiak is going to have a great career and people will look back and realize just how bad a hand he was dealt in New Orleans between being saddled with Dennis Allen and missing basically 8 or 9 of 11 starters on offense for the majority of the year. I think those first 2 games are more indicative of Kubiak than the last 15. That sounds ridiculous, but I believe time will show it. bad leadership combined with poor everchanging personnel is hard to overcome.

I wish him luck in the future, but I don't think he'll need it.

It's certainly possible, TBH with all that happened last season, it's near impossible to know what we had in him....we will see how his career goes....

 

[sfidc3]

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

I hear that, but it was fool's gold. One of my biggest issues with the entire coaching staff was they were designing a big part of their offense around a 34 year old, lets call him a rusher.....and did not appear to have a back up plan.....when said 34 year old gets more touches and quite predictably gets hurt.....An incredibly risky, doomed to fail strategy.....
