Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders appear to be closing in on Klint Kubiak as their next Head Coach, and on this episode of Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand break down what this potential move could mean for the future of the franchise. We dive into the pressure Kubiak would face stepping into his first NFL head coaching role and how his offensive background could shape the Raiders’ identity moving forward. The crew also explores what a Klint Kubiak-led offense could look like with key weapons like Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, Jeanty, and rookie quarterback Mendoza, and how Kubiak’s reputation for quarterback development could impact Mendoza’s growth at the NFL level. Plus, we discuss whether the Raiders might keep Geno Smith on the roster or look toward a full reset under new leadership. We wrap things up by identifying the Raiders’ biggest offensive priorities in free agency, including whether securing a true WR1 should be at the top of the list, which offensive tackles could help stabilize the line, and if the team should keep both Bowers and Mayer or move Mayer for valuable assets. Raider Nation also joins the conversation with live questions and reactions as Vegas prepares for a potentially franchise-defining hire.

1:42.8

right true story we also got to give a quick shout out to Ari, who has really built the YouTube page, and he's done a great job. So just want to give everyone their flowers right now because we're getting near the end of the season. Well, you know, the end of the football season, but there's so much Raiders talk. And as Q mentioned it earlier, lots of talk about the Raiders at Radio Row. So in that final segment, if you have any questions for Q or link, please drop them in the chat if you're listening to this on YouTube because we will get to that in that final segment as we always do. We're also going to be talking about offensive weapons. We're going to make this an offensive show because click Kubiak, right? Why not? But let's start over there because that's obviously the big news that came out.

2:20.9

Adam, We're going to make this an offensive show because Clint Kubiak, right? Why not? But let's start over there because that's obviously the big news that came out. Adam Schaefter also reported. And this was, you know, on the weekend after the Raiders met with Clint Kubiak for the second time on Saturday. And it was reported that he is set to become the next Raiders head coach. That's been the news. He hasn't really been trying to talk about it at Radio Row, obviously focused on the Super Bowl. But Link, when you hear the fact that Clint Kubiak, who, you know, we know his family history with football and the NFL and, you know, the greatness with the Kubiak name, what are your thoughts on this potential higher? Because it's not even for sure yet, but that's the thing. That's the thing. That's the thing. Let's be clear. I don't want to get overly excited until the ink is on the paper. You see what I'm saying? Because it still has to happen. And look, we've been talking about it. We've been thinking about it for the last week or so, whatever it is. We've been talking about it all through the playoffs. I said the Raiders didn't have their head coach until the Super Bowl was done. Until it's done, I don't want to get over really excited. He still has to accept the job. Right. So I, in Q insists, look, we go back and forth with this all the time, but I'm not going to get overly excited about somebody who's supposed to be there until he's there.

3:29.4

That makes sense?

3:30.4

Yeah, it does.

3:31.4

And all roads are leading to him getting that job, but you're absolutely correct.

3:35.1

I mean, until it's actually paper to pen to paper, nothing could become official, right?

3:39.3

And so it gives Raider Nation a lot of hope.

3:42.3

I think it gives a lot of positivity for the fan base.

3:46.4

And, you know, just like I said, the buzz here on Radio Row, you know,
