Klint Kubiak early favorite for Coach of Year

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak has emerged as the early favorite for NFL Coach of Year after leading his team from a 3-14 record last season to an impressive 3-0 start.

Kubiak's Raiders defeated the Saints 35-27 in a matchup of offensive coordinators from the last two Super Bowl winners. The victory marked only the third time in franchise history that a Raiders coach has begun his career with three consecutive wins, joining Bill Callahan (2002) and John Madden (1969). cricket-info.homes

Kubiak's candidacy is fueled by how his team has significantly exceeded preseason expectations. If he can guide the Raiders to the playoffs, he would likely win the award that his father, Gary Kubiak, never captured during his coaching career.
