Making the Case For Two Raiders HC Candidates

The former has been interviewed once, and the latter twice. 

Denver Broncos passing game coordinator Davis Webb has also been strongly linked to the job. 

Many have viewed Kubiak as the favorite for the job, as his innovative offensive designs and timely play-calling have propelled the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Brady has done excellent work with the Bills, especially with quarterback Josh Allen. 

Which coach should the Raiders prioritize between Kubiak and Brady, should they be the favorites for the job? Let’s make the case for both men as the Raiders come close to a decision. 

Making the case for Klint Kubiak 

The son of former NFL head coach Gary Kubiak, Klint has made a name for himself over the last few seasons. 

As the OC for the New Orleans Saints in 2024-25, Kubiak burst onto the scene in the first two weeks of the season, as the team scored 47 and 44 points, respectively. The offense fell back down to earth after that, but Seahawks’ head coach Mike Macdonald took a chance on him. 

Kubiak repaid him by engineering one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL and helping turn Jaxon Smith-Njigba into one of the best wide receivers in the league. The Seahawks put up 31 points against a good Rams defense, thriving in the run and pass games. 

Making the case for Joe Brady 

With two interviews down, Brady is a serious candidate for Las Vegas. The Bills have been one of the best offenses in the NFL during his time calling plays, ranking 10th in the league in total offense in 2024 and fourth in 2025. The most impressive element of these numbers is the lack of stars at skill positions in Buffalo. 

Brady was Allen’s OC the year he won MVP, and he was the OC at LSU when Joe Burrow and the star-studded Tigers went undefeated and won the national championship. Could he do the same for potential No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza? 

The Bills spread the ball around last season, so everyone would have an opportunity to make plays in Brady’s ‘everybody eats’ philosophy. 

The Raiders are doing due diligence on all the head coaching prospects, and we will soon find out who will lead the Silver and Black.
