The Seattle Seahawks hired former New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as the team's new offensive coordinator on Sunday, the franchise announced.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was first to report the news:

Rapoport noted that Kubiak was Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald's "top choice" to replace Ryan Grubb, who was fired at the end of the regular season.

Kubiak served as the passing game coordinator of the Denver Broncos in 2022 and San Francisco 49ers in 2023 before joining New Orleans prior to the 2024 season.

Kubiak also spent two separate stints on the Minnesota Vikings' coaching staff, which included one year as Minnesota's offensive coordinator in 2021.

The Seahawks conducted an extensive search to fill their offensive coordinator vacancy, as Kubiak was one of several candidates to meet with the team multiple times. Detroit Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley and Vikings assistant offensive coordinator and assistant quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski also interviewed with Seattle twice, via ESPN's Brady Henderson.

New Orleans' offense looked sharp to open the 2024 season under Kubiak, scoring 91 points and amassing 811 total yards through the first two weeks of the year.

The Saints couldn't maintain that same level of production throughout the season, as their scoring offense finished No. 24 in the NFL with an average of 19.9 points per game.

It's worth noting that New Orleans dealt with injuries to key players on offense, with quarterback Derek Carr as well as wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed all failing to appear in more than 10 games due to their respective health issues.

Kubiak will now take over a Seattle offense that contains several established playmakers including D.K. Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Kenneth Walker III.

He'll look to help the Seahawks as they attempt to make their playoff return in 2025, missing the postseason in each of the past two years despite finishing with a winning record in both seasons.
