The Las Vegas Raiders are poised to hire Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their new head coach immediately after Super Bowl LX, according to multiple reports. The Seahawks are set to face the New England Patriots in the championship game on February 2, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco.
Kubiak’s Impending Move
Kubiak, who has been interviewing for head coaching positions while preparing for the Super Bowl, is expected to finalize his deal with the Raiders once the season concludes. The Raiders, who finished the 2025 season with a 3-14 record under former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Kubiak is likely to work with Fernando Mendoza, the Indiana Hoosiers quarterback projected as the top overall selection.
Kubiak’s Background
Kubiak, the son of former Super Bowl-winning coach Gary Kubiak, has a reputation as a strong quarterback developer. He has previously worked with the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, and New Orleans Saints. In his first season as Seattle’s offensive coordinator, he helped the Seahawks rank third in points scored and eighth in yards gained in the 2025 regular season.
Seahawks’ Next Steps
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, in his second season with the team, will now need to find his third offensive coordinator in as many years. The Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship to secure their first Super Bowl appearance since 2014.
Raiders’ Coaching Search
The Raiders were the last NFL team to fill their head coaching vacancy. Kubiak’s hiring would mark his sixth team since 2021, following stints with the Vikings, Broncos, 49ers, Saints, and Seahawks.
