Raiders Zero In on Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak as Next Head Coach

NFL rules bar an official agreement before Seattle’s Super Bowl appearance.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Las Vegas has targeted Kubiak after a second, in-person interview, with both sides expressing interest in a deal.
  • ESPN and other reports say Kubiak intends to work out a contract with the Raiders after also meeting with the Cardinals.
  • Because Kubiak is coaching Seattle in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, the hire cannot be finalized or announced until the game is over.
  • The Associated Press and the Las Vegas Review-Journal report negotiations are progressing, with Tom Brady and John Spytek leading a search that identified Kubiak as the preferred choice.
  • Reporting cites the No. 1 draft pick, significant cap space, and Kubiak’s role in a top-scoring Seahawks offense as key factors drawing him to Las Vegas.
