Raiders Target Seahawks Assistant Klint Kubiak for Head Coach: Reports

The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly targeting Klint Kubiak, the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, for their head coach position. This decision comes after the team concluded their search for a new head coach following a challenging season.

Raiders’ Coaching Search: Klint Kubiak in Focus

Multiple sources indicate that the Raiders are prioritizing Kubiak after conducting a second interview over the weekend. However, the official confirmation of this appointment will likely occur after Super Bowl LX.

Klint Kubiak’s Career Overview

• Current Position: Offensive Coordinator, Seattle Seahawks
• Past Roles:
  • New Orleans Pelicans (2024)
  • Minnesota Vikings (2021)
  • Denver Broncos (2022)
  • San Francisco 49ers (2023)

In his first year with the Seahawks, Kubiak played a significant role in the team’s offensive performance. Seattle ranked third in points scored and eighth in total yards gained during the 2025 season. The Seahawks clinched the NFC West title and advanced to the Super Bowl following a victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

Raiders’ Recent Performance

The previous season proved to be difficult for the Raiders under head coach Pete Carroll, who had a tenure of 14 years with the Seahawks before joining Las Vegas. The team recorded a disappointing 3-14 record, leading to Carroll’s dismissal after the season.

If Kubiak accepts the Raiders’ offer, he will be taking on his sixth coaching position since 2021. Las Vegas also holds the number one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, providing a unique opportunity for the new head coach to shape the future of the franchise.
