Looks like Raheem Morris is going to the Niners for DC.

Names to look for at DC: Rob Leonard, Karl Scott, Anthony Weaver, Schwartz

Names to look at for OC: Rick Dennison..... or any quality oline coach/run game coordinator who's looking to move to an OC position. Because Kubiak will be the real OC, we can try to attract an oline specialist who already has a job to have the OC title, and their current team can't block it.

These are my ideas, not actual rumors.

[LayneStaley]

Really wish we could have hired Jim Leonhard.

Any word on DCs?

I’m starting to think Karl Scott, if we don’t go get an experienced guy.

[pfish57]

I imagine Mendo is breathing a sigh of relief right now!

[DanKD]

Cardinal or Raider: We got our guy, the guy we wanted from the start!!!! At least we weren't used for leverage during this cycle and we went out and quickly got our man

I'm sure Brady and money helped seal the deal but this only possible because we are getting Fernando Mendoza. Given what he has done with Darnold he must be drooling at getting a kid like Fernando

[SkullCrusher]

Geno Smith and Pete Carroll will go down as the greatest QB/HC combo ever to wear Silver n Black

Geno Smith and Pete Carroll will go down as the ones that brought us our first franchise QB in forever and a youthful current coaching staff?

Many before just brought more below level mediocrity.

[Viper]

He's said, many times, that he never wants to be a coach. Doesn't want to put in the hours.

Another blank check across the table

[16 to 88]

But f[raiders_icon]ck Brady. What does he even do? He needs to be in the building full time. Am I doing it right?

spot on.

This team sucks! We will never get Kubiak and we’ll be stuck with Davis Webb. Just sayin

How’s mine?

[LayneStaley]

Last season was worth this imo.

[Attyla]

spot on.

This team sucks! We will never get Kubiak and we’ll be stuck with Davis Webb. Just sayin

How’s mine?

Take out Webb, add in Tom Cable.

[chucker]

Another blank check across the table

haha, yeah overpaying a guy who doesn't want to put in the hours will definitely work.

[Attyla]

haha, yeah overpaying a guy who doesn't want to put in the hours will definitely work.

We are proof it works.

Raiders reportedly finalizing deal to hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as next head coach

The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly working on a deal to hire Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, NFL Network and ESPN reported Sunday. Per the report, the deal can't be finalized until after the Super Bowl.

If confirmed, Kubiak will become the Raiders’ third head coach in three seasons and their sixth since 2021. Kubiak met with the Raiders and Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, according to ESPN.

The Pete Carroll experiment did not last long in Las Vegas. After posting a 3-14 record and clinching the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Raiders fired Carroll following his first season.

Raiders owner Mark Davis, minority owner Tom Brady and general manager John Spytek led the head coaching search.

Kubiak is coming off his first season as offensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks. In 2025, the Seahawks went 14-3 and were the No. 1 seed in the NFC, advancing to Super Bowl LX with playoff wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. He also helped lead quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to breakout seasons, as Seattle boasted the No. 3 scoring offense in the league.

Before Kubiak was the offensive coordinator of the Seahawks, he served as the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints and the passing game coordinator for the 49ers and Denver Broncos. Kubiak also spent the 2020 season as the quarterbacks coach for the Minnesota Vikings under his father, Gary Kubiak, and was promoted to Minnesota's offensive coordinator the following season.

What about Gym Shorts as DC?

[Viper]

haha, yeah overpaying a guy who doesn't want to put in the hours will definitely work.

You have a point

[Dr Death]

So we're starting the misspelling of his name already?

I never claimed to be a world class speller.
