The Vikings’ move to add Gary Kubiak to their offensive staff this season was precipitated by the Broncos’ decision not to add Kubiak (or several of his longtime assistants) back to their coaching staff this winter.
As the Vikings prepare to face the team with which Kubiak has been to a total of six Super Bowls as a player, coordinator or head coach, Mike Zimmer said the Vikings’ addition of Kubiak is “probably the best thing that’s happened to me since I’ve been here.”
The Vikings hired Kubiak as their assistant head coach before the season, also bringing his son, Klint, in for his second stint with the Vikings (this time as the quarterbacks coach).
