Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has been one of the most talked-about assistant coaches in football this season. The 38-year-old son of former NFL head coach Gary Kubiak helped transform the Seahawks into a dominant force, guiding them to a 14-3 record and the NFC’s top seed.
His work with quarterback Sam Darnold has turned the veteran signal-caller into an MVP contender, and multiple teams have already come calling about potential head coaching opportunities.
But during Super Bowl week in Santa Clara, California, Kubiak opened up about something far more personal than Xs and Os. His comments during an interview with Sports Spectrum on February 4 revealed a side of the coach that goes well beyond the football field.

Kubiak explained that his motivation for giving gifts comes from his faith. He talked about how his faith influences his life and shapes his views on football and coaching.
“Your identity is not in your job. Our identity’s in Christ, and when I learned that and spent more time on the Word from all of my mentors I had in coaching that helped me get into Bible studies and read The Word every day, it just took a really heavy load off,” Kubiak said.
“Just knowing…I’m a child of God. Football is something that I do, but trying to be a good father and be a faithful husband is way more important than any of that.”
Kubiak credited his coaching mentors for helping him develop a daily Bible reading habit. He wanted to pass along the same encouragement to his players and fellow coaches, helping them understand that their worth extends far beyond Sundays.
The offensive coordinator is married to his wife Tessa and the couple has four children together. While he keeps his family life largely private, Kubiak has made it clear that faith and family sit at the top of his priority list, well above any professional accomplishments.
Kubiak’s coaching journey has taken him through stops at Texas A&M, the Minnesota Vikings, the Denver Broncos, the San Francisco 49ers, and the New Orleans Saints before landing in Seattle.
His father Gary won Super Bowl 50 as head coach of the Broncos, and football has been a family affair for the Kubiaks. His brother Klay currently serves as offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers while his other brother Klein works as a scout for the Dallas Cowboys.
His success with the Seahawks this season has drawn significant interest from teams looking for new head coaches. Reports indicate that Kubiak interviewed with the Raiders, Cardinals, Falcons, Ravens, Dolphins, and Giants during the 2026 hiring cycle.
He is reportedly set to join the Las Vegas Raiders as their new head coach following the Super Bowl.
As Seattle prepares to face the New England Patriots on February 8, Kubiak’s message about identity and faith provides a unique perspective on what drives one of the brightest offensive minds in the game today.
