By all accounts, the Las Vegas Raiders put all their eggs in the Klint Kubiak basket.
Sure, there were other intriguing candidates to **** ume the mantle of the 27th head coach of the Silver & Black such as Davis Webb (who remained with the Denver Broncos and got a promotion) and Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. But Las Vegas rolled the dice by patiently waiting for Kubiak, who was orchestrating the Seattle Seahawks’ offense enroute to a Super Bowl win this past season.
Don’t lie: You were concerned the Raiders’ waiting game was going to end in Kubiak spurning the team. It’s okay to admit it now.
Thus, Las Vegas’ initial gamble paid dividends from the get now that Kubiak is captaining the ship. That was the initial major get for general manager John Spytek and minority owner Tom Brady — the two people owner Mark Davis tabbed to find his football team a new lead man.
And the upcoming 2026 campaign will tell Kubiak and Spytek plenty. Raider Nation, too.
