Sources: Raiders expected to hire Seahawks' Kubiak as coach - ESPN

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to hire Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their next head coach after the Super Bowl, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.

A deal between Kubiak and the Raiders cannot be finalized until after the Super Bowl, in which the Seahawks will play the New England Patriots next Sunday.

After meeting Saturday with the Raiders and Arizona Cardinals, Kubiak intends to work out a deal with Las Vegas, sources told Schefter.

Once a deal is reached, Kubiak — the son of former Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak — would become the franchise's fifth full-term coach since 2021.

With Kubiak off the board, the Cardinals hired Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur as their new head coach, the team announced.

Raiders general manager John Spytek has led the coaching search in close collaboration with minority owner and former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Kubiak is among 15 candidates who interviewed with Las Vegas.

Kubiak, 38, would join Las Vegas after spending one season in Seattle, where he helped the Seahawks record the most regular-season wins in franchise history by orchestrating one of the league's best offenses.

Seattle ranked third in points (28.4 per game), eighth in total yards (351.4), tied for 10th in rushing yards (123.3), eighth in passing yards (228.1), 13th in offensive efficiency (50.76) and 15th in EPA (30.86).

The Seahawks' performance was an improvement from 2024 under former offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, when they were 18th in points (22.1), 28th in rushing yards (95.7), 19th in offensive efficiency (43.35) and 18th in EPA (minus-0.24). Seattle was also first in points margin (11.24) this year after finishing 15th (0.41) last
