Doing some quick research and thought this was thread worthy. Check it out:

From 2019-2021 Klint served as Vikings QB Coach (2 years), and OC for 1 year. Those 3 years were Kirk Cousins best years (statistically) in Minnesota.

In 2023 he gets the Pass Game Coordinator position with SF, working all year with the SF QB's, including backup Sam Darnold who'd been a massive bust previously. After that Season Darnold shines in Minnesota (and perhaps because of the year spent with Klint), eventually landing back with Klint with the Seahawks, and as we all know, winning the Super Bowl last year.

Then as we just witnessed, he revived Kirk Cousins career this year, with Kirk near the top of the league in most the important QB categories.

Does Mendoza have the perfect coach to guide him to being the franchise QB we think he can be? I think there's a good chance he does.

Yes and yes. I suspect the prospect of coaching Mendoza was a big factor towards Kubiak taking the job.

There's no way he comes here without that first pick. With the decision between us and the chargers, Harbaugh chose L.A. because they already had a QB. I still thin he's good, he's just been grossly mishandled.

Anyway, Kubiak is going to have the chance to prove his ability with the rookie. I hope they're both ready.

He’s one of those guys who has play calling/scheming in his genes. Put together a top 10 offense with a weak armed, old man at QB, bottom decile wideouts and terrible run blocking. Stoked that he’s the guy we have to guide Mendoza.

Yes, great thread and I agree here and no way he comes here without having the ability to draft Mendoza.

We are about to find out.

I think Tre Tucker bout to eat
