Klint Kubiak entered the world mere weeks following the Giants’ victory over his father’s team in Super Bowl 21.

Fast forward nearly four decades, Kubiak was interviewed virtually on Saturday for the role of head coach with the Giants, as reported by NFL Network.

Currently serving as the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, Kubiak has emerged as a sought-after candidate, having orchestrated one of the league’s top three scoring offenses this season.

Back in 1986, his father, Gary Kubiak, was the backup quarterback to John Elway on the Broncos squad defeated by the Giants in Super Bowl 21.

Gary eventually progressed to head coaching roles with the Texans and Broncos, where he led the latter, with Peyton Manning at the helm, to a Super Bowl 50 victory.

Klint Kubiak worked under his father in Denver and Minnesota and is part of the esteemed Shanahan coaching tree.

He was the Vikings’ offensive coordinator in 2021, the Broncos’ quarterbacks coach in 2022, the 49ers’ passing game coordinator in 2023 and the Saints’ offensive coordinator in 2024.

Like all members of the Shanahan tree, the run game is a big part of the offensive focus and the Seahawks had a dynamic 1-2 punch in Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet to complement quarterback Sam Darnold.

The Giants think they have their own rising stud backfield tandem in Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr.

The Giants also conducted a virtual interview Saturday with Broncos special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi.

Members of the Broncos and Seahawks staffs were the only playoff coaches available for virtual interviews this week under NFL rules because their teams received first-round byes.

The Giants also held a virtual interview with Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.

Kubiak is the kind of offensive mind that shows a prioritization of quarterback Jaxson Dart’s development in the head coach search.

In-person interviews with coaches under contract cannot begin until Jan. 19.

The Giants are expected to have an in-person interview with leading candidate John Harbaugh, who was fired by the Ravens, this week.
