Klint Kubiak Named Vikings' New OC After His Father Gary Retired

The Minnesota Vikings named Klint Kubiak as the new offensive coordinator on Tuesday.

Klint will replace his father, Gary Kubiak, who had been Minnesota's offensive coordinator before retiring last month. The 33-year-old Klint was Minnesota's quarterbacks coach the past two seasons.

"I am thrilled for Klint to get the opportunity to be our offensive coordinator," Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins said in a statement. "Having the chance to work with him on a day-to-day to basis the last two seasons has helped me grow both as a player and a person.

Cousins fared well statistically the past two seasons, posting a 106.1 quarterback rating after registering a 95.0 mark across his first seven years with Washington and Minnesota.

Kubiak also spent three years with the Denver Broncos, starting as an offensive assistant before becoming the quarterbacks coach midway through the 2017 campaign.

Meanwhile, New York Giants receivers coach Tyke Tolbert "really impressed in the interview process," per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, "putting him on the radar for more OC interviews next year."

As part of the Vikings' reshuffle, Andrew Janocko is expected to become the new quarterbacks coach after working with receivers last season.

Minnesota finished last season fourth in total yards from scrimmage and 11th in total points, and rookie receiver Justin Jefferson discussed keeping the same system after Gary Kubiak retired, per Fansided's Mark Carman.

"I wish I could have more years with [Gary Kubiak]," Jefferson said. "I was just getting comfortable with him, really. But I'm pretty sure Klint is going to come in and do the same or even better. They're son and father, so I'm pretty sure [Gary] is going to give him a little insight and give him some tips on how to call the games."

With game-changing weapons in Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and Adam Thielen, Klint will have plenty to work with.
