Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is reportedly seeking to finalize an agreement to become the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to sources close to the situation. The information was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday.
Kubiak, who joined the Seahawks as offensive coordinator ahead of the 2025 season, is the latest candidate identified in the Raiders’ ongoing search for a new head coach. The Raiders concluded the 2025 NFL season with an interim coaching staff after parting ways with their previous head coach, and are now working to solidify the leadership of the franchise moving forward.
Kubiak has held multiple offensive coaching roles across the NFL, including stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, and San Francisco 49ers. He is the son of Gary Kubiak, a former NFL head coach and Super Bowl champion. Klint Kubiak is known for his work in quarterback development and implementing systems rooted in the West Coast offense, which many teams have adopted in recent years.
The Raiders have been evaluating several coaching candidates as part of their search process. While nothing has been finalized yet, the current discussions with Kubiak indicate that he has emerged as a leading contender for the role. It is not yet clear when a formal agreement could be reached.
Assuming Kubiak accepts the role and a deal is completed, he would take over a franchise that has experienced significant changes both on and off the field in recent seasons. The Raiders are aiming to establish consistency and competitiveness, particularly in the AFC West, which features several strong opponents.
As of now, the Seahawks have not commented publicly on Kubiak’s potential departure. Additional updates are expected in the coming days as the hiring process continues and negotiations progress.
