Klint Kubiak’s future with the New Orleans Saints remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—he won’t be joining the Cleveland Browns. The Browns opted to promote Tommy Rees, their pass game specialist and tight ends coach, rather than bringing in Kubiak to reunite with head coach Kevin Stefanski.
However, Kubiak is still in play for another opportunity, as he is scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. This leaves open the possibility that Kubiak could move on before the Saints hire a new head coach.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis stated that the current coaching staff remains in place until a new head coach is hired, at which point the new leader will have the freedom to choose their own staff. Loomis also mentioned that any staff member, including Kubiak, could pursue other opportunities if they arise.
Kubiak’s offensive scheme generated a lot of excitement during training camp, and the Saints’ offense initially looked promising, putting up 91 points in their first two games. However, injuries, missed opportunities, and a decline in defensive performance led to a disappointing 5-12 season.
As the Saints move forward, they may need to overhaul their offensive strategy once again. Regardless of the changes, their main focus will be finding a way to return to playoff contention.
