The Las Vegas Raiders are zeroing in on Klint Kubiak to become the team's next offensive coordinator, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Kubiak currently serves as the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. He has emerged as a top priority for head coach Antonio Pierce as the Raiders look to finalize their coaching staff for the 2024 season. Kubiak’s stock has risen significantly this year due to his work with the 49ers' high-powered offense and the development of quarterback Brock Purdy.
Because the 49ers are still competing in the postseason, a formal hire cannot be made official until San Francisco's season concludes. Kubiak brings significant NFL experience to the table, having previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and holding various coaching positions with the Denver Broncos.
The Raiders have interviewed several candidates for the vacancy over the past week, but the focus has now shifted heavily toward Kubiak. The move signals a desire to implement a modern, Shanahan-style offensive system in Las Vegas to revitalize a unit that struggled for consistency throughout the 2023 campaign.
