Kubiak entered the NFL coaching ranks as an offensive assistant with the Broncos in 2016. He went on to serve the Minnesota Vikings as their quarterbacks coach (2019-20) and offensive coordinator (2021). Kubiak returned to the Broncos last season.
The Houston Texans were reportedly interested in having Kubiak join head coach DeMeco Ryans' new staff.
