New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is interviewing with the Cleveland Browns on Monday, per Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot, for what would be a lateral move. The Saints would have given Kubiak permission to speak with the Browns and other teams interested in hiring him as their offensive play caller (like the Seattle Seahawks), which signals that they’ll let a new head coach build his own staff. It could mean a full housecleaning is coming for New Orleans.
Kubiak’s offense made some strides last season even while dealing with critical injuries at every position group, but it wasn’t the complete reversal some fans had hoped for. The Saints scored just 338 points in the 17-game 2024 season, which ranked 24th among the NFL’s 32 teams and made for their third-worst scoring output since league expansion back in 2002. The regular season schedule only had 16 games until 2021.
We’ll see how this interview goes for Kubiak. He has a lot of experience working with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, having been on staff together with the Minnesota Vikings for many years. But they won’t be his only option to keep coaching in 2025, either.
