"In the Las Vegas Raiders' search for their 25th head coach in franchise history, they made a move that made sense. With running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers in the building, and Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza potentially on the way, Las Vegas' hire of an offensive-minded coach is all about maximizing the potential of its current and future young stars."
"The Raiders landed Klint Kubiak, who just led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl LX win as offensive coordinator. The hiring of Kubiak, 38, which was made official on Monday, was a move in the direction the franchise needed for its rebuild efforts. Yes, Kubiak will bring an offensive system that's proven -- Seattle ranked third in points (28.4 per game) and eighth in total yards (351.4) in 2025."
"Raiders general manager John Spytek led the coaching search in close collaboration with minority owner and former quarterback Tom Brady. Ahead of the search that began in earnest on Jan. 5 when the Raiders fired Carroll, Spytek said the team will be open-minded in their approach. However, it was clear that people with offensive backgrounds were emphasized. Of the 15 candidates who interviewed for the position, 10 coaches focused on offense, including Davis Webb, Mike McDaniel, Brian Daboll and Kubiak."
