The Las Vegas Raiders have officially named Klint Kubiak as their new head coach just hours after he orchestrated a Super Bowl victory for the Seattle Seahawks.
Kubiak, 38, joins the Silver and Black as the 25th head coach in franchise history following a dominant 29-13 win over the New England Patriots.
The offensive specialist confirmed the move during post-game celebrations at Levi’s Stadium, ending weeks of speculation.
‘You guys know I’m going to Las Vegas,’ Kubiak told reporters on the field. ‘I’m fired up about it. Hell yeah, I’m going’.
Kubiak arrives in Nevada with a glittering resume, having just led the Seahawks to a 14-3 record and their second-ever Lombardi Trophy.
In his sole season in Seattle, he transformed the offense into the NFL’s third-highest scoring unit, averaging 28.4 points per game.
