The head coaching carousel is winding down, and only two seats remain unfilled: Las Vegas and Arizona. As both the Raiders and Cardinals continue their search, a familiar name is rising to the top of the list-Klint Kubiak.
With Denver Broncos assistant Davis Webb reportedly pulling his name from consideration for the Raiders job, Kubiak has stepped into the spotlight as a top contender for both openings. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Kubiak is set for second-round interviews with both teams before Super Bowl LX. That’s a strong signal that the 38-year-old offensive coordinator is firmly in the mix to land his first head coaching gig.
Kubiak’s name might ring a bell-and for good reason. He’s the son of Gary Kubiak, who coached the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl 50 title.
But Klint’s résumé stands on its own. He broke into coaching back in 2010 at Texas A&M, and by 2013, he was already making his mark in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings.
Since then, he’s steadily climbed the coaching ladder, earning offensive coordinator roles with the Vikings (2021), Saints (2024), and most recently, the Seahawks (2025).
And it’s that 2025 season in Seattle that’s turning heads across the league.
Under Kubiak's direction, the Seahawks' offense finished as the seventh-best unit in the NFL. That’s no small feat.
They ranked eighth in passing and tied for tenth in rushing-showing balance, creativity, and the kind of adaptability teams covet in a modern play-caller. Whether it was dialing up explosive plays through the air or leaning on the ground game when needed, Kubiak’s offense kept defenses guessing.
That versatility is exactly what makes him such an intriguing candidate for both Las Vegas and Arizona-two franchises looking to reset and build something sustainable. For the Raiders, who are trying to find consistency on offense, Kubiak’s track record of elevating quarterbacks and maximizing skill players could be a much-needed spark. In Arizona, where Kyler Murray remains the centerpiece, a coach like Kubiak could be the key to unlocking the full potential of the offense.
This would be Kubiak’s first head coaching opportunity, but he’s no stranger to pressure. He’s grown up around the game, coached in multiple systems, and has shown he can lead an offense in today’s NFL. Now, with second interviews on deck and only two vacancies left, the window is wide open for him to take the next step.
We’re nearing the finish line of this year’s coaching cycle-and Klint Kubiak might just be the name we hear last.
