Saints Announce New Offensive Coordinator
A major Saints staff addition is now official, as the team announced the hiring of Klint Kubiak on Wednesday.
Kubiak, who has been paired to the team since the beginning of February, is now the team's new offensive coordinator. He'll be tasked with revamping the New Orleans offense and leading a new era under Dennis Allen. He'll turn 37 in just a few days and leaves the 49ers after just one season as their passing game coordinator.
Head coach Dennis Allen said via the team's press release, "We are excited to announce Klint Kubiak as our offensive coordinator. I want to thank the various impressive candidates that we interviewed throughout this process. Klint has done an excellent job in a variety of roles in ten years in the NFL and has valuable play-calling experience. He has played an important role in the growth of many players throughout his career, starting with the quarterback position. I look forward to us getting to work as we form our offensive staff and to see Klint lead that group, play a pivotal role in the development of our players on offense and maximize our strengths on offense."
More moves should be coming, as the team has been linked to Andrew Janocko and John Benton, as well as Derrick Foster for their running backs coach opening.
