NFL Coaching Updates: Falcons' Search, Kubiak's Potential Moves & Seahawks' Rising Stars
The Atlanta Falcons are actively searching for their 20th head coach following the departure of Raheem Morris after the 2025 season. The team is considering candidates such as Kevin Stefanski, former Browns coach, and Klint Kubiak, currently the Seahawks' offensive coordinator, who has garnered interest from multiple teams including the Giants, Cardinals, and Raiders. Kubiak has led the Seahawks' high-powered offense, which finished third in scoring and secured the No. 1 seed in the NFC, making him a top candidate for head coaching positions. Experts believe Kubiak is most likely to leave for the Falcons, given their promising offensive weapons and organizational stability, although the Giants are also a strong contender due to quarterback clarity. Meanwhile, Kubiak's future is under scrutiny as several NFL teams seek to interview him for their head coaching vacancies. Reports indicate that the Giants, Cardinals, and Raiders have requested interviews with Kubiak, who is available for virtual interviews during Seattle's playoff bye week. NFL analysts suggest that Kubiak is a leading offensive coaching candidate and could secure a head coach role this offseason. In the Seahawks organization, there is notable discussion about which teams might poach Kubiak. Analysts like Daniel Jeremiah and Brock Huard view Atlanta as the most likely destination for Kubiak, citing their offensive potential and organizational factors. The Seahawks’ success this season, driven by Kubiak’s offensive leadership, has positioned them as a top NFC seed, though the league's coaching carousel continues to evolve with teams seeking new leadership. The Seahawks also face questions about key players and contract extensions, such as Charles Cross, who is regarded as a cornerstone for the team’s future.
