The Las Vegas Raiders, in their bid to build a consistent winner, are adding former Seattle Seahawks coach Rick Dennison to their offensive staff, just days after naming Klint Kubiak as the franchise’s 25th head coach. Dennison arrives as run game coordinator and senior offensive advisor, reuniting with Kubiak after their work together during Seattle’s 14-3 run and Super Bowl LX victory.
Dennison brings more than three decades of NFL coaching experience, including stints as an offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, and Buffalo Bills. His extensive background is expected to bolster the Raiders’ offense as they pursue more stability after a challenging 2025 season.
The move underscores a clear priority for Kubiak’s regime: strengthening the run game and overall offensive production. The Raiders finished the 2025 regular season with a 3-14 record, highlighting areas in need of improvement on the trenches and in ground efficiency.
The connection between Las Vegas and Seattle runs deeper, with Dennison’s arrival adding a championship pedigree to a staff already building around Kubiak’s vision. If Dennison can replicate success from the Pacific Northwest, the Raiders aim to deliver a more balanced and productive offense in 2026.
The development comes as part of the Raiders’ broader staff reshaping under Kubiak, aimed at delivering a more competitive product in Las Vegas. The addition of Dennison positions the team to focus on fixing run production while leveraging his wealth of NFL experience.
