Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to hire Klint Kubiak as their head coach and it's a pairing that makes a ton of sense, but Kubiak needs to make sure he handles business with the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl before taking his new job. This has a great chance to be a "be careful what you wish for" moment for Kubiak. The Arizona Cardinals also got their coach when they landed on Mike LaFleur. This feels like a doomed pairing as an unproven head coach goes to one of the worst openings imaginable. LaFleur needs to be careful and not set expectations too high or it will be his last shot. Finally, the Minnesota Vikings fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah over the weekend in a strangely-timed move, but when you miss on the quarterback situation as badly as he did, that will always be justification for removal.
