Klint Kubiak became the Raiders’ head coach after serving as the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator in 2025.
Kubiak, born in 1987, comes from the prominent Kubiak football family. His father, Gary Kubiak, was an NFL quarterback and Super Bowl-winning head coach. Klint began his coaching career as an offensive assistant before working his way through several NFL staffs.
His Seattle appointment gave him an opportunity to run an offense as a coordinator, and his work there helped lead to the Raiders’ decision to hire him for his first NFL head-coaching job. The move also marked a transition in Las Vegas after Pete Carroll’s lone season as Raiders head coach in 2025.
A common mix-up is confusing Klint Kubiak with Mike LaFleur, another prominent offensive coach. Kubiak is the former Seahawks coordinator; LaFleur and Todd Monken are different NFL coaches, while Carroll was the Raiders’ previous head coach.
