Kubiak, 38, is the current offensive coordinator and play caller for the Seattle Seahawks and has just completed a second in-person interview with the Raiders this weekend.
This would mark Kubiak’s first shot at a head coaching job, after serving as an NFL offensive coordinator for three different teams. His candidacy represents a potential high‑upside hire for a franchise seeking a sharp turnaround.
Las Vegas has not posted a winning record or reached the playoffs since 2021, when Jon Gruden resigned and Rich Bisaccia led the team to the postseason. The initial expectations for Kubiak are to show progress, with the Raiders having gone 4-13 and 3-14 in the past two seasons combined.
The Raiders are one of only two NFL teams still pursuing a new head coach, with several top candidates already moving into promotions elsewhere. While a final decision remains pending, the strongest public indicators point toward Kubiak taking over in Las Vegas if the matchup with the Super Bowl winner clears.
