The Kubiak Kids
I recently found out former NFL coach Gary Kubiak has 3 sons. They all have short, single-syllable K names. Let’s just let that stew for a bit.
Do I think Gary Kubiak named his kids in such a way as to make a subtle reference to the Klan? Probably not. He and his wife were likely one of those couples that decides on a weird naming convention for all their children. You’ve probably met someone with a similar concept in your life at one point. They almost always include alliteration and every kid having a name that starts with the same letter. So I do not believe that Gary Kubiak named his children K names with the intention of white supremacy. However…I do believe he didn’t think his little naming convention through very well.
Also, Klein? Klein? As a first name? Gary, get some taste. Kevin was right there. Kyle! Ken! I guess it could be worse, they could be one of those couples who decide to name their children after pop culture characters or worse, the extremely pick-me practice of taking a normal ass name like Lauren and spelling it Lawrynn so that she’s “unique”.
Klint Alexander Kubiak (If his middle name was a K that would be quite a red flag) is becoming a known name around the league right now. He got the Saints off to a hot start last year before injuries put a damper on the offense. He’s now on the Seahawks. He’s spent time on many teams as a QB coach and passing game coordinator. He’s a future “hot name” for head coaching discussions, provided he doesn’t fall apart.
Klay Kubiak is currently the offensive coordinator for the 49ers, meaning he stands around and tries to stay out of Kyle Shanahan’s way. He’s been a 49er his entire NFL career, so good on climbing that ladder, Klay. Since everybody knows the 49ers offense is Shanahan’s baby I do not anticipate Klay becoming a hot name unless he goes elseware first.
There is also Klein. He does not have a Wikipedia page. He is a scout for the Cowboys. That’s all you need to know about the other Kubiak. I doubt we will ever hear about him.
It’s not a great look, is it.
Kliff Kingsbury, your thoughts…
“You’ve probably met someone with a similar concept in your life at one point.”
Aye, ye probably have… for I… I AM ONE OF THEM!!!!!
Grew up in a family of 4, each of us had ‘R’ names. Even our dog, with the ungodly name of Runstead. My parents would sign all of their Christmas cards with “R&R”. My wife’s name starts with an ‘L’, so my parents would buy us things from Ralph Lauren all the time, because it was basically free monograming.
My Fiancee family is like that five kids all start with Alivia, Airik, Allison, Angelica, and A.J
Klein is the Derek Watt of Kubiaks

A good friend of mine’s initials are KJK… “one K short of a controversy” his own father used to joke.
Kubiak’s still short of Roger Clemens, who gave all four of his sons K names because *groan* strikeouts: Koby, Kory, Kacy, Kody. Back when Koby was a fringe major league prospect, I was rooting for him to wind up on the Dodgers so LA could have Kobe (Bryant), Cobi (Jones), Coby (Karl), and Koby all playing professional sports in the same city. But alas.
My partner’s mother has 6 sisters and all of them have names that start with “D”. I still have yet to memorize them all
You’ve officially been online too long if you see 3 brothers with names beginning with the letter K and your mind goes to the Klan.
What a bunch of kunts.
That or he’s a fan of Roger Clemens and wants to copy his naming convention.
I’m guessing Kubiak’s a big fan of the Kremlins.
Still better than Steve Kerr naming his son Nicholas.
