Kubiak Early Coach of Year Favorite

Klint Kubiak defeated Saints coach Kellen Moore in a battle of offensive coordinators from recent Super Bowl winners, helping the Raiders improve to 3-0 with a 35-27 victory. The dramatic turnaround from last season's 3-14 record has positioned Kubiak as the frontrunner for coach of the year honors. forestarrow.rest

Only the third Raiders coach to start with three consecutive wins, joining Bill Callahan (2002) and John Madden (1969), Kubiak could potentially achieve what his father Gary never did - win a Super Bowl as head coach. If the Raiders make the playoffs as the 7th seed, Kubiak may secure the coach of the year trophy.
