Overview
- The Raiders’ first‑year head coach Klint Kubiak will coach against his brother Klay, the 49ers’ offensive coordinator, in the Week 9 meeting scheduled for Sunday.
- Both brothers say they have limited contact during the week and plan to speak after the game to avoid sharing strategy or distracting from their teams.
- Current and former 49ers players, including Brock Purdy and George Kittle, praised Klint’s coaching and said some of his terminology and techniques still influence the 49ers’ offense.
- Klint and Klay worked together on San Francisco’s 2023 staff during the team’s Super Bowl run, and Klint’s later roles with New Orleans and Seattle helped elevate him to the Raiders’ head coaching job.
- Their story is rooted in a multi‑generation NFL family led by father Gary Kubiak, which connects their careers to broader coaching trees and explains why their reunion draws attention beyond a typical divisional matchup.
