Raiders Zero In on Offensive-Minded Coach, With Klint Kubiak and Davis Webb Leading Buzz

Reports point to an offense-first hire to pair with expected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite Jordan Schultz in reporting that Las Vegas is prioritizing an offensive-minded head coach, with Klint Kubiak and Davis Webb mentioned most often and Jesse Minter still discussed as a defensive option.
  • Kubiak and Webb have completed virtual interviews but cannot take part in in-person follow-ups until their teams are eliminated or the Super Bowl concludes under NFL postseason rules.
  • The Raiders have interviewed roughly 14 candidates, met Rooney Rule requirements, and have started second interviews with defensive coordinators Ejiro Evero and Jesse Minter.
  • Tom Brady, a minority owner helping lead the search, has been impressed by Kubiak after calling several Seahawks games, according to Schultz.
  • The broader carousel is narrowing options, with Mike McDaniel expected to join the Chargers as offensive coordinator and reports linking Minter to Baltimore, while Webb and Kubiak also draw interest from other teams.
