  • Seattle Seahawks wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson interviewed for the Raiders’ offensive coordinator job, marking the first reported OC interview under Kubiak.
  • Kubiak will call offensive plays in Las Vegas, positioning the offensive coordinator role to support his system rather than lead it.
