The 2025 NFL regular season is over, but the search for new head coaches is very much underway.
After the Atlanta Falcons fired Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot on Sunday, the NFC South team went straight to work on at least finding their next coach. One of the candidates is Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, per NFL reporter Tom Pelissero.
Interest around the league
in Kubiak as a head coach is not surprising, both given previous reporting and the fact that the Seahawks have had one of the better offenses in the NFL (despite the decline in performance late in the season).
The Seahawks are on a bye week as the NFC’s top seed, which means Kubiak is allowed to interview for head coaching roles before the Divisional Round.
This is obviously just the preliminary stage for the Falcons, and it’s very possible that they won’t be the only team requesting an interview with Kubiak, who’s never been a head coach but whose dad Gary was a Super Bowl champion head coach with the Denver Broncos.
It’s definitely a heck of a 180 for the Seahawks, who fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb in his only season with the team. His replacement has done well enough to merit head coach interest.
