Before joining the 49ers this last season, Kubiak has had stops in Denver, Minnesota and Denver in a variety of roles as he’s ascended through the coaching ranks. In 2021, Kubiak was named offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings — a role he held for one season before coach Mike Zimmer and his staff were replaced at the end of the season.

The Saints interviewed at least 11 candidates before deciding to hire Kubiak.
