Kubiak Interview And Hiring

uhm... I thought we had that whole OC thing squared away?  CO-OC/HC/ACDC?

on a side note.... wasnt kubiak the HC in denver when their OL was shit but they had great weapons and a pretty good QB?  are we looking to try and figure out how to win without improving the OL?

yeah...thats what I thought, but What do I know....I LIVE on this site

Kubiak isn't being interviewed for the OC spot, but some kind of offensive type specialist. I wouldn't doubt the rest of the report, however. It all depends if the Vikings are willing to do it or not.

am I wrong or wasnt Denvers OL a POS under Kubiak?

Not keen on "package deals" of which Kubiacs son is one.  Granted, I don't know these guys from Joe Mama, but it seems like the beginning of a coup, and guys who come in with all sorts of demands kinda piss me off...

Agreed.  Get hired on your merits.  Maybe this is just a bad taste left over from Norv and his boy?

So have a young OC who could use a veteran presence and we have no OL, TE, and QB coach?  this rumor seems to make sense, Kubiak comes in and brings in his staff, someone Zim can trust, while allowing Stefanski to grow into the position.  Kubiak saves some of the stress and heartache of the demands of the OC.  

This all makes sense, as does us going to a zone blocking scheme.  Could be a very interesting get, I have always loved Kubiak’s offenses, playaction roll outs and deep shots

Vikings hiring former Broncos’ HC Gary Kubiak in an offensive advisory role, per a league source. Kubiak’s son, Klint, is expected to become Vikings’ QB coach and Kevin Stefanski will remain as Vikings’ O

What? No. Kubiak is known for his OLs, particularly his effective zone blocking schemes. I say give him what he wants. Vikings don't currently have a QB coach, nor have they done anything about OL coach.

This is now a done deal: Gary Kubiak is joining the #Vikings staff. Exact title TBD, but to reiterate, Kevin Stefanski is the OC. Stefanski knows Gary and is very tight with Kubiak’s son, Klint, who’s expected to return as QBs coach. A great match for everyone.

Wonder if he'll get an Assistant HC title to go along with some sort of Offense adviser role.

Not sure I get the Kubiak hate, seemed pretty solid to me as a coach. Stefanski and his son, Klint, are good buddies.

It certainly is interesting.  Zim likely wants to not blindly trust another young offensive mind struggle and ruin a season.  Hopefully it works out.

Wow, this could be bigfor Dalvin Cook. Kubiak is an outside zone specialist. Cook is an outside zone specialist. Remember all those backs Denver had several years ago?Didn't seem to matter which "no name" they put in, he got over 1,000 yards. Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Reuben Droughns. Goes to Houston and someone named Arian Foster explodes. Goes to Baltimore and Justin Forsett explodes. Hadn't done anything before, nor since. 

I think Kubiak is a good addition - especially considering we seemed to be staring into the abyss of Hue Jackson barely a week ago.
Zimmer seems to need a former HC on the staff, maybe a peer who keeps him from overreacting.
So are Dennison (OL coach) and Pariani (TE coach) also coming aboard?

Why hate?  Most are curious at the least or encouraged.  I was remembering of manning getting his ass kicked pretty regular but I don't watch a lot of donkey ball.
