– Klay Kubiak steps back: One eye-catching candidate, San Francisco 49ers’ OC Klay Kubiak, has pulled his name from head coaching searches. He’s still early in his NFL coaching career (since 2021) and hasn’t called plays yet, and Las Vegas didn’t schedule a second interview. He’s viewed as a bright future who could be a strong OC candidate elsewhere, but he’s not the current fit for the Raiders’ HC job. 🚫🤔
– Davis Webb on a second date: Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb is gaining traction. Las Vegas plans a second interview, with the team liking what they see in a proven leader who has NFL QB experience. If the second meeting goes well, a deal could be on the table soon. 💼🏈
– Klint Kubiak and Vance Joseph also in the mix: In addition to Webb, Klint Kubiak (Seattle’s OC) and Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph are seen in the mix. The Raiders are reportedly eyeing a younger, offensive-minded coach, with Webb and Klint Kubiak fitting that profile. 🔍📊
– The big takeaway: The Raiders want a dynamic, offensive leader who can serve as a strong head coach and potentially handle playcalling. The goal is a younger, energetic voice who can guide the offense, with Webb and Kubiak among the front-runners after initial virtual chats. 🔥🏈
Stay tuned as Las Vegas zeroes in on their next face of the franchise.
