Falcons Interview Klint Kubiak for Head Coach Role
The Atlanta Falcons are in the process of searching for a new head coach and have interviewed Klint Kubiak for the role. Kubiak is currently the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks and has been part of a successful offensive unit this season.
Klint Kubiak’s Coaching Background
Kubiak began his coaching career in the NFL in 2015. Throughout his tenure, he has worked with several teams, including:
- Minnesota Vikings – quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator
- Denver Broncos – passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach
- San Francisco 49ers – passing game coordinator
- New Orleans Saints – offensive coordinator
Under his leadership, the Seahawks clinched the NFC West title and secured the No. 1 seed in the conference for the postseason. The Seahawks achieved a franchise record with 14 wins this season, marking their first division title since 2020.
Impact on the Seahawks’ Offense
Seattle’s offense has been one of the most productive in the NFL. In 2025, the Seahawks ranked third in scoring and tied for seventh in total yardage. Kubiak played a crucial role in transforming their offense, which previously ranked 14th in total yards and 18th in points scored in 2024.
Connection to the Falcons
Kubiak has a local connection to the Falcons through quarterback Kirk Cousins. The two worked together in Minnesota from 2019 to 2021. If Cousins remains with the Falcons, this connection may enhance their offensive synergy.
Why Kubiak is a Strong Candidate for the Falcons
With over a decade of experience, Kubiak could be the catalyst the Falcons need. They recently drafted Michael Penix Jr. as their franchise quarterback. Additionally, the team features young talents such as:
- Bijan Robinson – star running back
- Drake London – wide receiver
Most of the starting offensive line is expected to return, with former starter Kaleb McGary likely coming back from injury in 2026. The Falcons may also utilize the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts Sr.
Kubiak has demonstrated an ability to enhance offensive production swiftly. His recent experience with the 49ers included contributing to Christian McCaffrey’s standout performance, where he accumulated a league-high 1,459 rushing yards.
Future Prospects
The Falcons finished the previous season ranked 14th in total yards but struggled, landing at 24th in points scored. Kubiak’s coaching expertise could help elevate their offensive game, benefitting from the synergy created with their talented roster.
