The Las Vegas Raiders officially named Klint Kubiak as their new head coach on Monday, giving him a five-year contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team posted video of Kubiak and his family arriving in Las Vegas and being greeted by Raiders general manager John Spytek. A news conference to formally introduce Kubiak is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

Kubiak, who confirmed on NFL Network following the Seahawks’ 29-13 Super Bowl LX victory over the New England Patriots that he would be leaving Seattle, said from the Levi's Stadium field in Santa Clara, California, “You guys know I'm going to Las Vegas. I'm fired up about it.” Asked again if he was going, he added, “Hell yeah, I'm going.”

The son of former Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak, Klint becomes the Raiders’ fifth full-term coach since 2021. In his one season as Seattle’s offensive coordinator, he helped quarterback Sam Darnold lead an offense that ranked third in points per game (28.4), eighth in total yards (351.4), tied for 10th in rushing yards (123.3), eighth in passing yards (228.1), 13th in offensive efficiency (50.76), and 15th in expected points added (30.86) during the regular season.

Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba praised Kubiak, saying, “Man, they're getting someone special, someone who knows the game, someone who's going to do whatever it takes to win. He's an unbelievable coach. I was honored to play with him this year. Just for him to get to know me, get to know what I was like as a player and person, it's something special and something I don't take for granted. So best of luck to him. We're going to miss him.” Darnold added, “Klint's the man. He's a great person and a really smart guy. ... I think he's going to do great things in Vegas.”

Kubiak takes over a Raiders team that went 3-14 this season and fired first-year coach Pete Carroll. Las Vegas has key offensive pieces in tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty and holds the top pick in the 2026 NFL draft, where it is expected to select Indiana quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza.
