The Las Vegas Raiders have officially named Klint Kubiak as the franchise's new head coach, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The hiring concludes the Raiders' search for a new leader to helm the organization heading into the 2026 season.
Kubiak makes the move to Las Vegas after spending the 2024 and 2025 seasons as the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. During his tenure in New Orleans, Kubiak was credited with revitalizing the team's offensive unit, which led to him becoming a top candidate during this year's coaching cycle. His prior experience includes serving as the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers and a stint as the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings.
The 38-year-old coach is the son of former Denver Broncos head coach and Super Bowl champion Gary Kubiak. His deep roots in the NFL and his reputation for modern offensive scheming were reportedly pivotal factors in the Raiders' decision to finalize the deal. Kubiak now takes over a Raiders roster looking to find stability and offensive consistency in the highly competitive AFC West.
The organization has not yet released the specific terms of the contract or details regarding the rest of the incoming coaching staff. A formal introductory press conference is expected to be held at the Raiders' headquarters later this week.
