After 18 seasons under John Harbaugh, the Baltimore Ravens are officially turning the page. Harbaugh, a Super Bowl-winning coach and one of the longest-tenured in the league, was let go following the 2025 season - a move that signals a new era in Baltimore after a stretch of underwhelming postseason results.
Now comes the big question: who’s next?
The Ravens are in the thick of their head coaching search, and one name that’s gaining real traction is Klint Kubiak, the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator. Baltimore has already completed an interview with Kubiak, and there’s a growing sense that he could be a serious contender for the job.
There’s a bit of history here. Kubiak’s father, Gary Kubiak, served as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator back in 2014 - a one-year stint that left a lasting impression. Now, the younger Kubiak could be in line to return to Charm City, this time as the head man.
And if you’re looking at recent performance, it’s hard to ignore what Klint Kubiak just pulled off in Seattle. In his first year with the Seahawks, he engineered one of the league’s most dynamic offenses.
Seattle ranked top 10 in total yards, passing yards, and rushing yards, and finished third in points per game. That’s no small feat, especially considering the offense went through significant personnel changes heading into the season.
Kubiak didn’t just keep the unit afloat - he elevated it. His ability to blend a run-heavy approach with explosive, balanced play-calling made the Seahawks a weekly problem for opposing defenses. That kind of offensive vision could be exactly what Baltimore needs as it looks to retool around Lamar Jackson.
Of course, there are questions. Kubiak has been a one-year offensive coordinator in three different stops - Minnesota, New Orleans, and Seattle.
But those short stays weren’t necessarily about performance. In both Minnesota and New Orleans, Kubiak was brought in just before head coaching changes - first under Mike Zimmer, then Dennis Allen - and didn’t stick around after the shakeups.
In Seattle, though, he had the room to implement his system, and the results spoke volumes.
Baltimore isn’t a rebuild. With Lamar Jackson still in his prime and a roster that’s built to contend, this is a team looking to win now. That’s why the Ravens’ coaching search is so critical - they’re not just hiring a head coach, they’re choosing the architect of their next chapter.
Kubiak checks a lot of boxes. He’s young, innovative, and has shown he can adapt quickly and maximize talent. For a franchise looking to re-energize its offense and make another run at postseason success, that might be exactly what they’re looking for.
