It\u2019s a battle for the man who turned Sam Darnold into a Ghostbuster.<\/p>\n
The Raiders and Cardinals are the last two teams with head coaching openings and both are expected to host in-person interviews with Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak this weekend, according to multiple reports, and the California Post\u2019s Vinny Bonsignore reported that Las Vegas will do so Saturday<\/a>.<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler added that Kubiak is the leading candidatefor both jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Klint Kubiak is reportedly the leader for both remaining openings. AP<\/p>\n The process for hiring a coordinator of a Super Bowl-bound team is more complicated than that involving an unemployed coach or one from a team that has been eliminated.<\/p>\n Kubiak only could meet with teams in-person during this bye week before the Super Bowl, per Fox Sports<\/a>, and he had to previously interview with the teams virtually.<\/p>\n Either team could then hire Kubiak after Super Bowl 2026 on Feb. 8.<\/p>\n The battle for Kubiak creates an interesting dynamic since one of these teams will acquire a hot coordinator while the other team will be left to survey a market that has already filled eight spots.<\/p>\n Kubiak, the son of former Super Bowl-winning coach Gary Kubiak, is only in his second year as an offensive coordinator and first with Seattle.<\/p>\n He guided an offense that ranked eighth in yards per game and third in points per game, while producing the receiving yards leader in Jaxon Smith-Njigba.<\/p>\n Will Kubiak choose to coach Ashton Jeanty?
