Klint is currently the Minnesota Vikings‘ offensive coordinator. He was promoted to OC in January after his father retired from the position. Klint served as the Vikings’ quarterback coach for the past two seasons. Klein has been on the Dallas Cowboys’ scouting staff since 2019.

Surprisingly, only Klay played dad’s position in high school. He was a 2-star pro-style QB at Regis Jesuit in Aurora, Colorado. Like Klay, Klint played at Regis Jesuit where he was a three-year starter at wide receiver and defensive back. Klein, a receiver in high school, played at Strake Jesuit when his father was the head coach of the Houston Texans.

As a high schooler, the patriarch of the family was one of the most prolific passers in Texas high school football history in the late 70’s. At St. Pius X High School, Gary Kubiak passed for a then state-record 6,190 career yards.
