The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl 60, and Kenneth Walker III won Super Bowl MVP after an incredible performance on the ground and through the air.
While the Seattle offense wasn’t firing on all cylinders, they did more than enough to get the win over the New England Patriots. On the field after the game, players, coaches, family, and Seahawks personnel got to celebrate the win.
But, according to Stacey Dales of NFL Network, Seahawks offensive coordinator, amid the celebration, confirmed that he is going to be the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. It was expected, but it’s still unfortunate news for the Seahawks.
Klint Kubiak confirms head coaching gig with Raiders on field after Seahwks Super Bowl win
“While Klint Kubiak is celebrating this special Super Bowl win with the Seahawks, he just confirmed to me on camera that he will be the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. @nflnetwork,” Dales reports.
This was the expected result after his interview with the Raiders last weekend went very well. But now, Kubiak is confirming those reports and will be the new head coach of the Raiders.
He’s taking over for former Seahawks icon Pete Carroll, who lasted just one year in Las Vegas. It wasn’t the best stint for Carroll, and now Kubiak, with an incoming Fernando Mendoza, will look to rebuild the Raiders.
Working alongside Tom Brady, a Patriots legend, Kubiak will look to build up the Raiders, bringing his offensive prowess that helped the Seahawks win Super Bowl 60 to the AFC West.

It’s the unfortunate reality of having a great defensive-minded head coach, or CEO head coach. Losing offensive play callers is a common occurrence, and Kubiak was a near lock to land a head coaching job this offseason.
While he’s officially the last hire, it was just a formality to wait until after the Super Bowl. And not that there would’ve been any doubt, but the Seahawks Super Bowl win more than proved Kubiak is the man for the Raiders job.
It’s sad for the Seahawks to lose Kubiak, but getting a Super Bowl was more than worth the one season he was in Seattle. Jaxon Smith-Njigba won Offensive Player of the Year, Sam Darnold was a Pro Bowler, and Walker was the Super Bowl MVP.
