The wait is over.
Klint Kubiak is officially the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, agreeing on a five-year contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Raiders and Kubiak struck an agreement on February 1, the morning after his second interview with the team. However, the Raiders had to wait until after Sunday’s Super Bowl in which Kubiak served his final game as the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator in a 29-13 winning effort. Kubiak confirmed after the game he was headed to Las Vegas.
The Raiders focused on Kubiak because he was a young offensive mind who has never been a head coach. The Raiders interviewed more than a dozen candidates, but Kubiak was their focus.
Kubiak, who turns 39 on February 17, was the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator 2025 and was wildly successful. Previously, he served in the same position with the New Orleans Saints and coached former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in 2024 and with the Minnesota Vikings in 2021. He has 12 seasons experience as an NFL coach.
Kubiak is the son of Denver Broncos Super Bowl-winning head coach Gary Kubiak and the brother of San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak, who also interviewed with the Raiders.
Reportedly, Raiders’ part owner Tom Brady, who helped lead the search, was a big fan of Klint Kubiak and he called several of the Seahawks’ games this season for Fox.
Now, Brady and the Raiders hope Kubiak can led the offense, and likely new quarterback Fernando Mendoza into a new, winning era.
