Seahawks’ Klint Kubiak has 1st 2 of 5 remote interviews for NFL head-coach jobs

Story byGregg BellFri, January 9, 2026 at 8:51 PM UTC·3 min readIt’s not a bye weekend off for Klint Kubiak. The Seahawks offensive coordinator is busy doing Zoom interviews remotely for at least five NFL head-coaching jobs. The Baltimore Ravens announced Friday they had completed their interview with Seattle’s 38-year-old play caller. That was two days after the Ravens fired John Harbaugh after his 18 years as their coach. The Las Vegas Raiders also talked to Kubiak Friday, ESPN’s Peter Schrager reported.

Macdonald had said earlier this week while it was “bittersweet” at potentially losing a trusted assistant who was a large reason the Seahawks scored their most points in franchise history this regular season, but that he supported Kubiak’s and any assistant coach’s advancement. Macdonald said Friday on KJR radio the team has been Kubiak’s “absolute priority” this week.“When it’s Seahawks time he’s been right on it” preparing an initial game play for the divisional playoff Seattle will host next weekend, Macdonald said on KJR.

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak looks on before the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Houston Texans at Lumen Field, on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, in Seattle. NFL rules allow teams with head-coaching vacancies to interview candidates on the top playoff seeds for a maximum of three hours each remotely during their first-round bye week.

Key Highlights

  • The interview window begins three days after that team’s regular-season finale.
  • It ends when the weekend of wild-card playoff games end. For Seattle, the first day teams could talk to Kubiak was Tuesday.
  • The Seahawks then practiced and had meetings Wednesday and Thursday. So Friday was the first day Kubiak had free from daily Seahawks duties to interview remotely.
  • He apparently will have all five of his interviews with teams that have requested them on Friday and Saturday.

Also Friday, Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde interviewed with the Cleveland Browns for another head-coaching opening, ESPN’s Schrager reported. The Seahawks will found out Saturday night or Sunday which team they will play in the second round.
  • It will be the lowest remaining seed to advance through the NFC’s wild-card games Saturday and Sunday. If the seventh-seed Green Bay Packers (9-7-1) beat the second-seeded Bears (11-6) in Chicago Saturday night, Seattle will host Green Bay.
