James Kubiak (born May 12, 1972) is the color commentator for the Buffalo Bulls football team and the director of the WNY Quarterback Academy. Kubiak was the director of football operations and offensive coordinator for the Georgia Force of the Arena Football League. He is also a retired American and Arena football Quarterback. He was originally signed by the Carolina Panthers. He played college football at Navy.
During his career, Kubiak played for the Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, Barcelona Dragons, New York Jets, Buffalo Destroyers, Dallas Desperados, Detroit Fury, and Georgia Force.
After a successful prep career at St. Francis High School in Hamburg, New York, Kubiak attended the United States Naval Academy, where he was a four-year letterman and three-year starter.
In 1991, Kubiak started the season on the JV team and earned a spot on the Midshipmen's final roster. He earned the starting job in the fifth week of the season and finished the season 93-of-154 for 957 yards, two touchdowns and 11 interceptions, having led the Midshipmen to their sole victory of the season over archrival Army. In 1992, he passed for 35 yards, completing 6-of-15 passes before dislocating his shoulder in the season opener against Virginia. As a result, he underwent season-ending surgery. In 1993, as a junior, he returned to set school records for passing yards (2,628), attempts (401) and completions (248), while throwing 11 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
