On most days, Kubiak can be seen either standing behind the offense during team drills, or working closely with the quarterbacks during individual drills. He alternates between being hands on and hands off in his coaching style, though he makes sure his voice is always heard.
“He stands right behind the quarterbacks on every play,” Kirk Cousins said. “We can hear his voice as we’re dropping back.”
As soon as the play is over, if Kubiak sees something he doesn’t like, he’ll pose it to them as a question to his signal callers.
“He would say something like, ‘What’s the footwork there?’ ” Cousins said. “Instead of giving us the answer, he’ll make us process it, and I think that’s a great style of coaching. I’m excited about our leadership in the offensive room.”
It’s been a collaborative effort over the past few months, though Kubiak has faded to the back more often than not, allowing Stefanski to serve as main voice in most of the meetings.
“I’m just in there watching him teach,” Kubiak said. “He’s doing things I’ve done for a long, long time. I remember Mike Shanahan used to sit in his office and watch me teach. I remember those days. In a lot of ways I’m sitting in there watching Kevin teach every day. I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m impressed with his work ethic and his passion and his ability to reach people in a lot of different ways.”
In addition to helping Stefanski on the offensive side of the ball, Kubiak has been a sounding board for Zimmer whenever he needs it.
