Coaching interviews are piling up around the NFL, and Seattle’s offensive architect Klint Kubiak has become a central name in the swirl. Multiple franchises have asked to meet him, and pundits are already debating whether he’ll remain in Seattle or take the next step as a head coach.
Teams seeking Klint Kubiak for interviews
League insiders report that several clubs have requested interviews with Kubiak. The list includes franchises looking for offensive direction and fresh leadership.

- Las Vegas Raiders
- Atlanta Falcons
Sports Illustrated first identified the interest, while other outlets say additional teams are monitoring the situation closely.
Why Arizona is a logical landing spot
Analysts note a natural fit between Kubiak’s offensive approach and the Cardinals’ current needs.
- The Cardinals need a clear offensive identity.
- Kubiak has experience building a high-scoring attack.
- Hires from a division rival would carry added strategic weight.
One columnist suggested Arizona could benefit both tactically and competitively by hiring a coach familiar with the NFC West.
What Seattle would lose if he departs
Losing Kubiak would cost the Seahawks continuity on offense. He led Seattle to one of the NFL’s most productive scoring seasons.
- No. 3 scoring offense, averaging roughly 28.4 points per game.
- Eighth in total and passing yards.
- Eleventh in rushing yards.
Beyond numbers, his scheming helped maximize emerging talent and smooth a major roster transition this year.
How Kubiak shaped Seattle’s offensive makeover
The Seahawks changed key pieces this season. Kubiak adjusted the scheme and staff to fit new personnel.
- Quarterback change: Sam Darnold replaced Geno Smith.
- Wide receiver roster shifts opened opportunities for younger targets.
- The offense found new ways to elevate Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Those shifts contributed to the team’s high rankings and improved scoring output.
Track record and the odds he leaves
What increases the chances Kubiak departs is his résumé. This is not his first offensive coordinator post.
- Previously served as an OC with other NFL clubs.
- Has experience running pro offenses under different systems.
- Multiple past coordinator roles suggest he’s comfortable stepping up.
Because he’s held coordinator roles before, observers view him as a stronger head coach candidate.
Precedents: coordinators moving to rivals
Teams have hired opposing coordinators before. Recent examples show clubs will cross divisional lines for the right coach.
- Last season an offensive coordinator moved from one NFC team to another rival.
- Such hires can reshape division dynamics quickly.
That history fuels speculation that a move to a division opponent is possible.
