Klint Kubiak

Head Coach, Las Vegas Raiders

Head CoachNew · ex-Seahawks

Calling plays for LV since 2026

Play-calling authority

90%

The new head coach is both system architect and game-day caller, with non-calling OC Andrew Janocko running install and game-plan logistics. Kubiak frames it as collaborative ('I've never called the game by myself'), but every report has him holding the sheet.

Tendencies

PaceSlow and deliberate — Seattle ranked 26th in pace in 2025, huddling and milking the clock
Early downsFirmly run-leaning: league-high ~49% called-run rate and roughly -7% PROE in 2025
Target treeExtremely narrow at the top: funneled JSN a league-high ~36% target share, the NFL's largest in a decade
SlotDoesn't force-feed the slot: prefers bunch/condensed sets over fixed roles (moved JSN outside, Kupp inside)
MotionMotion, shifts and misdirection are core Kubiak DNA, used to diagnose coverage pre-snap
Red zoneRun-first scoring: goal-line back hogs the work; play-action generated the 2nd-most passing TDs, often to TEs
AlsoWide zone from heavy 12 personnel and under-center (2nd-most); modest play-action volume but NFL-best play-action efficiency
Who benefitsAlpha target hubs (Bowers, per the JSN precedent), bell-cow zone RBs with receiving chops (Jeanty), play-action TEs

Based on: 2025 Seattle offense (Super Bowl winner); 2024 New Orleans — first year in Vegas
