The Las Vegas Raiders’ search for a new head coach has intensified with plans for a second interview with Klint Kubiak, offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. This development comes as Kubiak is considered the leading candidate among those currently available.
Raiders Narrowing the Field
Reports indicate the Raiders view Kubiak as their top choice and he is now willing to engage in further discussions. He is currently scheduled to coach in the Super Bowl on February 8th. While he could reach an agreement with a team at any time, an official hiring cannot occur until after the Super Bowl.
Veteran NFL reporter Tony Pauline reported that Kubiak will also be speaking with representatives from the Arizona Cardinals in the coming days. However, it is not expected that Kubiak will accept a position with the Cardinals, but he remains open to the Raiders’ offer.
Other Candidates Considered
The Raiders are also reportedly interested in Denver Broncos passing-game coordinator Davis Webb and Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LeFleur. Despite interest in these other candidates, the focus currently remains on Kubiak.
There have been reports suggesting Kubiak may also consider remaining with the Seahawks through the 2026 season.
