The Raiders aren’t the only team that will have a second interview with Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Kubiak will have a second interview with the Cardinals in addition to the Raiders. Kubiak is expected to land one of the two remaining openings.
Broncos pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb withdrew his name from consideration for the Raiders’ head coaching job earlier today.
Kubiak is in his first season as the offensive coordinator for the Seahawks, after one season as offensive coordinator with the Saints.
He served as the offensive passing game specialist for the 49ers in 2023, after spending the 2022 season as the offensive passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the Broncos.
Kubiak was with the Vikings for two different stints in three different jobs. He was Minnesota’s offensive coordinator in 2021, quarterbacks coach in 2019-20 and began his NFL career in 2013-14 as quality control/assistant wide receivers coach. From 2016-18, he was the Broncos’ offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach.
The Cowboys have hired Cardinals cornerbacks coach Ryan Smith, according to multiple reports.
Smith is at the team’s training facility today for a perfunctory meeting.
He spent three seasons with the Cardinals after spending the 2022 season in the same role at Northwestern.
The Cowboys also have in-person interviews with former Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr and Colorado defensive coordinator Robert Livingston, Todd Archer of ESPN reports. Livingston previously coached the safeties with the Bengals.
Orr previously interviewed for the team’s defensive coordinator position.
The Cardinals interviewed Ron Rivera in person for their head coaching job, Dianna Russini of TheAthletic.com reports.
The team is not announcing candidates it interviews for the job.
Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Patriots passing game coordinator Thomas Brown, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula are other candidates the team has interviewed.
Rivera currently serves as the General Manager for Cal football.
He was the head coach of the Panthers from 2011-19 and of the Commanders in 2020-23, with a 102-103-2 regular-season record and a 3-5 postseason record. His Panthers lost to the Broncos in Super Bowl 50.
Anthony Campanile is apparently no longer in the running to become Arizona’s next head coach.
The Jaguars announced on Tuesday that Campanile and Grant Udinski — the club’s defensive and offensive coordinators — will return to the team for 2026.
The club noted that both men agreed to terms, implying that both will receive extensions.
Campanile was interviewed for Arizona’s head coaching job. But Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is undergoing an in-person interview for that job on Tuesday, and is a strong candidate to land in the role.
Udinski also had interviewed with the Browns and Bills in recent days. But Udinski took himself out of consideration for Cleveland’s job and Buffalo promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach on Tuesday.
Jacksonville won the AFC South with a 13-4 record in 2025, falling to Buffalo in the wild card round.
The Cardinals will have an assistant from a division rival in for a second interview this week.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur will meet in-person with Arizona on Monday and Tuesday for the club’s head coaching vacancy.
LaFleur, 38, has been with the Rams as offensive coordinator since 2023. While he does not call plays, as head coach Sean McVay performs that duty, LaFleur was formerly the Jets’ offensive coordinator from 2021-2022.
LaFleur has also spent time with the 49ers, Falcons, and Browns under Kyle Shanahan as head coach and offensive coordinator.
He is the younger brother of Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.
LaFleur may not be Los Angeles’ only assistant to land a head coaching job, as passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase is meeting with the Browns for a second interview on Monday.
