Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak interviewed for the head coaching jobs with the Las Vegas Raiders and Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. This was the second round of interviews for Kubiak with both teams, who are the last two NFL clubs still searching for new head coaches. If Kubiak reaches an agreement with either team, no announcement can be made until after the Super Bowl on February 8th between the Seahawks and New England Patriots.
Why it matters
Kubiak's work with Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has impressed both the Raiders and Cardinals, who are looking to turn around their struggling franchises. The Raiders haven't won a playoff game since 2002, while the Cardinals haven't made the postseason since 2021. Kubiak could provide the leadership and offensive expertise to help revive these two underperforming teams.

This was the second round of interviews for Kubiak with both teams. If he reaches an agreement with either team, no announcement can be made until after the Super Bowl on February 8th. Kubiak could also decide to stay in Seattle and wait another year rather than take on the challenge of turning around the Raiders or Cardinals, who have been among the worst teams in the NFL in recent seasons.
