Kubiak began his coaching career with Texas A&M as an offensive quality control assistant in 2010 and 2011, before becoming a graduate assistant with the Aggies for the 2012 season. Kubiak served as an offensive quality control coach with the Minnesota Vikings in 2013 and 2014, and then returned to the college game as the wide receivers coach with Kansas in 2015.

The 34-year-old again re-joined the NFL in 2016 and held an offensive assistant role with the Broncos from 2016 to 2018 before serving as the Vikings quarterbacks coach in 2019 and 2020. Kubiak was the team's offensive coordinator in 2021, as the team finished 8-9 and missed the postseason for the second straight year.

After missing the playoffs for the sixth straight year in 2021 following a 7-10 campaign, Denver fired head coach Vic Fangio after a three-season run. The Broncos hired former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their head coach last week.
