The Raiders were scheduled to meet with Klint Kubiak on Saturday, and according to a commenter on social media, it sounds like Mark Davis may have sat down with the league\u2019s most coveted coordinator on Friday night, as well.<\/p>\n

Kubiak is technically still in the mix for the Cardinals\u2019 job, but the Raiders are considered his most likely destination, though not much is known about how his interviews went (or are going) this weekend.<\/p>\n

Whether or not that\u2019s good news for the Raiders remains to be seen, but according to The Athletic\u2019s Ted Nguyen, it\u2019s probably a positive sign that so little information has reached the public on Kubiak and the Raiders.<\/p>\n

Nguyen believes Kubiak wouldn\u2019t want news about his future dominating headlines ahead of the Super Bowl and thinks that if the Raiders were told \u2018No\u2019 by Kubiak\u2019s camp, they would pivot quickly to the next candidate in line.<\/p>\n

It has been rumored that Ejiro Evero<\/a> is the fallback option in Las Vegas is Kubiak doesn\u2019t get the job, but Sports Illustrated insider Hondo Carpenter seems to think Mike LaFleur is still in the mix, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing into the search, the top two candidates were Klint Kubiak and Mike LaFleur, who are both still available and on the table,\u201d Carpenter said on the Las Vegas Raiders Insider podcast<\/a> on Saturday. \u201cBoth coaches, whether it\u2019s Klint or Mike or whomever, already know who they want to bring as staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s Evero or LaFleur behind Kubiak, every indication is that Tom Brady and the decision makers in Las Vegas are locked in on Kubiak and it would be a disappointment to miss on their top coaching candidate for the second year in a row. <\/p>\n

Flagship radio host \u2018JT the Brick\u2019 made a big statement on Kubiak\u2019s candidacy on Wednesday, saying the Seattle offensive coordinator doesn\u2019t necessarily need a second interview to convince the Raiders. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve interviewed a bunch of people over the last week or two. Everybody believes [Kubiak] is the guy. It\u2019s his offer to accept or deny,\u201d JT said on his\u00a0Raider Nation Radio show<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody knows what he\u2019s going to do because he\u2019s embedded in preparation for the Super Bowl, but he\u2019s having his second interview and someone told me off the record that he doesn\u2019t even need a second interview. He\u2019s one of the only candidates that you really don\u2019t need a second interview with. He had an interview. If you like him, you can hire him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need a second interview. And we all think that everybody needs a second interview. No, not him. He doesn\u2019t need a second interview. There\u2019s nothing that they\u2019re going to look at in the second interview that\u2019s going to say \u2018No, man, we were thinking you as our number one choice, and now you\u2019re out.\u2019 I would doubt that very much. I think he\u2019s going to be fine, but he\u2019s going to give the Raiders a second interview that I\u2019ve been made aware of from inside the building,\u201d JT continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he nails it and he does a great job, and maybe this interview is going to be even more in-depth with Tom Brady, because when Tom Brady is calling all these Seahawk games, he really can\u2019t sit down one-on-one with Kubiak.\u201d<\/p>\n
