Raiders to interview 2 coordinators for head coaching job

The Raiders are acting fast in their search for a coach.

A day after firing coach Pete Carroll, the club has asked for permission to interview two prominent NFL coordinators and a young coach considered one of games up and comers.

The Raiders will meet with Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, according to people with knowledge of the search. They also will meet with Denver quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator Davis Webb.

Both coordinators are available to do virtual interviews with the Raiders this week because the Broncos and Seahawks have the top seeds in the AFC and NFC playoffs and first-round byes. Other playoff coaches — besides Broncos and Seahawks representatives — are not allowed to interview until next week at the earliest.

Webb, 30, played quarterback for three teams during a six-year career before transitioning to coaching in 2023.

Kubiak, son of former NFL quarterback and head coach Gary Kubiak, is in his first season in Seattle and has overseen a Seahawks offense that ranked third in the NFL.

Before coming to Seattle, Kubiak was the offensive coordinator of the Saints in 2024 and has been an assistant for the 49ers, Broncos and Vikings.

Kubiak, 38, is also scheduled to interview with the Giants and Cardinals.

Joseph, head coach of the Broncos in 2017 and 2018, returned to Denver as the defensive coordinator in 2023. The Broncos have fielded the third-ranked defense each of the past two seasons.

Joseph, 53, interviewed with the Raiders last year before they hired Carroll.

Webb, selected by the Giants in the 2017 draft, spent time with the Giants, Jets and Bills before retiring.

Super Bowl-winning coach a possibility?

The Ravens’ firing of John Harbaugh on Tuesday could have a ripple effect on the coaching market, with the Raiders a potential landing spot.

Harbaugh has been the Ravens’ coach for 18 years, leading them to the postseason 12 times. Baltimore has had winning seasons under Harbaugh 15 times.

The Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2012 under Harbaugh. He is the brother of Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh.
