The Las Vegas Raiders are finalizing a five-year contract to make Klint Kubiak the franchise's next head coach, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The significant length of the deal underscores the organization's commitment to Kubiak as they look to establish long-term stability within the coaching staff.
Kubiak most recently served as the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints, where he earned praise for his modern offensive design. Prior to his time in New Orleans, he served as the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers during their 2023 Super Bowl run and previously held the offensive coordinator position for the Minnesota Vikings. He is the son of long-time NFL coach and Super Bowl winner Gary Kubiak.
The hiring marks a major pivot for the Raiders, who prioritized Kubiak’s offensive expertise and coaching pedigree during their search process. The five-year agreement is expected to give Kubiak the necessary runway to implement his system and build out his staff in Las Vegas. Further details regarding the official signing and introductory press conference are expected to follow.
