Klint Kubiak leads Las Vegas Raiders into the 2026 NFL season
Summary

Klint Kubiak enters his first season as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders following a stint as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. General manager John Spytek overhauled the roster during the off-season, signing notable free agents including Tyler Linderbaum, Quay Walker, and Nakobe Dean. The team faces a challenging schedule with the seventh-hardest strength of schedule in the NFL. Despite improvements to an offense that ranked 32nd in scoring last season, projections suggest a 6-11 finish as the franchise navigates a rebuild. The coaching staff features offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko and defensive coordinator Rob Leonard. Las Vegas begins the campaign with a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
