Klint Kubiak, the new offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints, has ultimately chosen to call plays from the sideline for Week 1 as opposed to the booth, per NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill. This comes after Kubiak split between the two options throughout the preseason to see which would work best for the team.

Earlier this week Kubiak refused to comment on which of the two approaches he would be taking for this first game. However, he has chosen the traditional route of sideline coaching, which allows for more communication with players throughout the game.

Considering he is new to the team and is building the scheme around the players who were already here, it does make sense that he went in this direction, as he can receive input live from players rather than having to infer it from play results.

Look at the veteran presence the Saints have on offense as well. Getting input is extremely valuable for a new coach to the team, as hearing back from players like Alvin Kamara, Derek Carr, and Taysom Hill may help him make adjustments to improve the offense.
