The New Orleans Saints brought in a new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak this offseason, and it sounds like he made quite an impression on head coach Dennis Allen, particularly due to what he brings to the team schematically.

During a recent appearance on The NFL Report, Dennis Allen explained the team’s decision to hire Klint Kubiak, praising him for what he feels is “the best scheme” in the NFL right now.

“I felt like Klint Kubiak was obviously the person of choice,” Allen said. “I’ve known Klint for a long time. I fell like I’ve known the family for probably 20 or 30 years. I remember watching Klint’s dad, Gary, play quarterback back at Texas A&M growing up. So, I feel like I’ve known this family. I feel like I’ve known this scheme for a long time. And I feel like this is the best scheme that gives your players the best chance to have success that’s going into the National Football League right now.

“I feel like Klint is highly intelligent. He’s [an] extremely hard worker. I think we’ve put together an outstanding staff with a little bit of a mixture of veteran coaches that have been there, done that with some younger, progressive mindset type of guys. And I think it’s going to be a great mixture for our organization.”

The Saints had some notable struggles on the offensive side of the ball last season. We’ll have to see how Kubiak changes it this season.
