This is an interesting move. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the New Orleans Saints are expected to hire Andrew Janocko as their new quarterbacks coach on Klint Kubiak’s staff, replacing Ronald Curry.
Janocko and Kubiak have worked together before, and in these same roles. Janocko was Kubiak’s quarterbacks coach when he was calling plays as the Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator back in 2021. Before that, he worked in a variety of roles in Minnesota, at one point being named co-offensive line coach with Clancy Barone (the current Saints tight ends coach).
Most recently, though Janocko was coaching Justin Fields for the Chicago Bears. But the young quarterback struggled to make much progress under his tutelage and Janocko was let go along with many other assistants after the 2023 season. The Saints are betting that his established chemistry with other coaches on their staff and the opportunity to work with an experienced quarterback will lead to success. Let’s see if they’re right.
