I think they got the best Kubiak that was available.

[@JoeBrooks-b4x]

Doesn’t matter what OC comes in if the Hawks don’t fix the interior O-line!

[@Mentaltoughness23]

Thats the issue we are drafting people but they are not developing or they are just bad. Maybe something to do with our scouts or developmental oline coaches.

[@earthatom7]

I think they'll FINALLY start to address it this time around 🤞

[@Mentaltoughness23]

@@earthatom7 yeah. Coz im tired hearing comments draft this or draft that. We are drafting people

[@bigamigo4863]

I dunno, I'm at the point where no OC hire excites me... that position has been a revolving door for too long. Guess we'll see.

[@BiggoSuave]

So do other teams w/ defensive HC, the problem is rostering done by JS, we’re supposed to build from trenches to skills players not the other way around

[@desh91896]

Because of that, we are likely 2 years from middle-tier OL due to dev time. So many fans are expecting miracles.

[@BiggoSuave]

@@desh91896 not if we invest during free agency

[@ventz34]

​​@@desh91896 not really, we have Cross and Lucas still if we desire to keep them long term, and they can hold up in the middle tier range, its mainly the main 3 in the middle we need to fix

[@KenjaTimu]

The nice thing about Kubiak is that he didn't have a great QB. He's not overrated just because some QB carried him.

[@WrestleMarq]

You said you don’t like the fact he’s been on 4 different teams in 4 years. Minnesota- fired head coach whole staff purged Denver- fired coach head coach while staff purged San Francisco- got promoted New Orleans- fired head coach whole staff purged This guy has just been really unlucky

[@DanlowMusic]

And yet in Minnesota the RB had 1,000 yards, A young Jefferson had 1,000 yards, Cousins had like 4,000 yards. That's a balanced attack. Anyone that doubts should go watch the game he coached with a bunch of injuries against a team fighting for a playoff spot (Tampa Bay) I watched that game and was impressed with the playcalling with what Rattler was doing at the helm. Wishing to myself "I wish our Hawks looked like this"

[@The_BlvckSun]

And Zimmer had the defense playing bad like Carroll his last few seasons here. Vikings had to win shoot outs that year if I remember correctly.

[@LesNToomy]

Seems like every where this guy goes has been problems🤷‍♂️ I think I will be skeptical for a while

[@xtriplexvisionx]

We're not cowboy fans, be reasonable

[@mikemyers5207]

All the teams that beat us this year they had two key things they did very well. Run block and pass block. if we don't fix those things we might as well forget it. We're going to have to get the right guys that blend with our two tackles. I think you go free agency get some guys that are middle aged and balanced . Then you go into the draft and get the best rookie offensive linemen you can find.

Savion Williams is a weapon! Trade DK for another DK but more gifted. Go check his highlights

[@jamesreding6336]

Good morning everyone

[@jayclark5034]

Love all the over-simplification in the comments. Just because they hired an OC doesn't mean they're done improving. Get a grip and let the draft & free agents happen before you declare the Hawks dead on arrival

[@Northstarisforlife07]

Doesn’t matter. Our o line will get him fired by end of year.

[@persephone9360]

We have a draft and free agency still ahead of us my brother. Rejoice, do not despair.

[@alexfernandez1824]

Now go draft him jaxon dart to sit behind geno. Then you grab one db and rb late round and the rest should be lineman at all cost! Also look in free agency to improve the line

[@Mattheyou]

0:20 that was literally him last year before he got the saints job what is this dude saying

[@LifeAboveTreeLine99]

Players are more important than coaches. Its crazy how people use stats for coaches when it’s not always but usually the players SSDD

[@TheEliteFox]

@LifeAboveTreeLine99 I would respectfully disagree with that, I think they're equally important in football. A bad coach can destroy a championship team if they can't manage the clock or make in game adjustments. The Chiefs wouldn't be where they are without Andy Reid. I think that's more true in basketball because of the smaller rosters. A football team needs way more synergy because there's 53 guys.

[@LifeAboveTreeLine99]

@ you don’t think players are more important than coaches..? So Andy could do what he has done with the Jacksonville Jaguars?!

Who Kubiak brings with him to coach the offensive line is going to be really important.

Hawks played it safe but I wish they would have taken a chance and hired Udinski.

[@rolandjose4704]

Bevell wasn't a hot commodity and he helped win us our 1st SB! Talent plus good coaching wins games.

[@kasstudio2823]

Like Bevell's good coaching? Yikes, I hope not! Win a Super Bowl? Our defense won the Super Bowl. Bevell is the one who called the pass at the two-yard line instead of giving it to Beast Mode in the Super Bowl he helped lose. Our offense was always bottom to middle of the pack without Beast Mode. Where is he now? Can't keep track he gets let go so often.

[@realasadoughnut]

I'm trying to find reasons to be excited about this hire but I got nothing.

[@Mr.PicklesWolf]

So Klint is better than Pete? Or is it age thing?

[@sadams6663]

Need to hire a good OL coach!

[@tsm9273]

Pay Geno, perfect QB for Kubiak.

[@ChadNoticer]

Kubiaks teams he coached as OC were never better than the Seahawks were last year. The saints had less everything offensive except rushing attempts and yards last year. Less TDs, less points, less rushing TDs, less first downs, the list goes on. Are rushing yards really that important to Mike MacDonald?

[@BigDawgDaddy]

Doesn't matter who the OC is...if you don't have a offensive line that can block. You can blame the OC again

[@GaryAvona]

If he can move a offense with Derek Carr , Mr check down playing QB , then I suspect he's pretty good.

[@punishunext5148]

Saint were crap with Carr

[@GaryAvona]

Carr is crap , for many reasons. Even still Kubiak got the offense moving anyway. Scoring or lack of is on Carr. For some reason Carr is still on a scholarship, and his many faults are over looked.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... an* offense

[@kjkgood]

conventional thinking by GMs and decision making by coaches is what produces mediocrity in the NFL and coaching doest correlate with player performance ??

[@wscamren9320]

With no o-line what’s the point lol

[@raftguy1376]

Every year for over a decade, ive thought of the OC as “can you fix our o line? Every year of Schnieder, im thinking “can you draft a good OL?” So far, i haven’t seen it come together.

[@jonmars9559]

Seahawks have settled into mediocrity as a way of being. You can hype it all you want, the results are predictable.

[@jonnybalz]

The numbers from Klint's past don't exactly light me up. I don't think he's ever had a top 10 offense.

[@rhyscruz]

Yall are in for a rude awakening. So glad we got rid of Bobby Slowik and that Shanahan/Gary Kubiak system before it was too late. Not even Saints want him. Congrats Seattle. Back to mediocrity like in the 90s and late 2000s

[@jeffklinger5628]

Seahawks got rid of a better coordinator, Kubiak's play calling is not going to fix the O-line. You can't run the ball with wimps up front.

[@dominic6991]

You can start by getting rid of geno smith

[@edmolash3401]

Expect mediocrity.

[@rooseveltheath]

Geno really needs to be gone...he had his chance to show what he could do and choked as only he could..he should have never been chosen to stay..

[@vickiemowry5359]

Not That QB!!!!! Say it Won't Happen 😮

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Given his track record, only five wins and his former team being bottom-third in almost every offensive stat, Kubiak is a pretty mediocre hire.

[@robinl2328]

Can u stop with the food analysis

[@kevinthompson4015]

What the...

[@SEPTEMBERMAN]

he came from a LOSING Team. oh joy!

[@TheExaltedSeahawk]

Saints were a high scoring offense before Carr got injured, multiple injures on their offensive line and also their WR’s. Other than that, he’s had a very good track record.

[@DanlowMusic]

Go watch what he did with all the injuries they had, they gave Tampa a run for their money and it was with a bunch of backups. Watching the playcalling he called I was like "This is what I wish our Hawks had" you are looking at wins and losses, they lost more o lineman than we did. Both starting wr's, starting RB and starting QB. Nobody wins when that happens.

[@ChristopherMHeaps]

Casual know-nothing

[@warrenjohn1307]

lol if his team was winning he wouldn’t be available because the team would block it genius!

[@picolosourcrout3172]

This guy on the right is annoying. He means you can run multiple plays out of the same formation not different formations same play lol

[@DanlowMusic]

This guy is way better than that clown Gee Scott. I turn the station off when his diarrhea starts running out of his mouth.

[@827dusty]

Bye- bye Geno. time to turn page. Mr. mediocre want too much money. Not worth it.

[@dougweller605]

By every metric available, Geno is an above average QB, if not only slightly. As for the money.......he's under contract through 2025. So it's not necessarily that he wants too much money, it's that he's scheduled to make 44+million next year. There are 3 realistic options with Geno; extend, trade, cut. Who replaces Geno? Who are the QB free agents this year? How is this years QB draft class? I think you'll be extremely disappointed once you discover the answer to those questions. We'll almost certainly know by March 12th.

[@LuxInvidious]

Casual take

[@Elitemage]

Yes get rid of the curse, Geno.

[@JaredAdam-l3w]

Y'all trippen geno is staying and will have a good season . You know he leads the nfl the last few years in big time throws. 70 percent accuracy but his the problems lol

[@punishunext5148]

Is Kubiak going to throw? Catch? Block? Cover? Mcdonald got rid of Grubb because he thretoo much so you bring in a guy who throws a lot. Pathetic

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... because he threw* too much. Actually, he didn't throw himself, he made* GS throw.

[@punishunext5148]

Salk showing that he is a clown. So is Kubiak going to block? Pass? Catch a ball, unlike DK with his 49.1% success rate? WHY CAN'T KUBIAK HOLD A JOB? 4 TEAMS Only a clown says Geno is not responsible for his interceptions. Seahawks obviously pay these jokers to be fanboys

[@ChristopherMHeaps]

What a drip

[@JaredAdam-l3w]

With a horrible oc and wr not running the correct route yeah not all on geno he will have a better year next year. He is accurate was just asked to do to much with a crappy o line and no run game it was all on geno. Look at both the teams in the Superbowl both teams can run the ball well most teams that Evan made the playoffs could run the ball lol
