The Pittsburgh Steelers are not the only NFL team showing interest in San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak. According to Sports Illustrated insider Albert Breer, the Las Vegas Raiders are scheduled to interview Kubiak on Sunday for their head coaching vacancy.

The development marks a notable rise in interest for Kubiak, who was not widely expected to draw serious head coaching consideration until the next hiring cycle—in 2027. Instead, the veteran coach has emerged as an early candidate, with multiple teams expressing interest.
Kubiak is in his fifth season with the 49ers and his first year serving as the team's offensive coordinator. Under his direction, San Francisco's offense finished the regular season ranked seventh in total yards, 10th in scoring, fifth in passing yards, and 24th in rushing.
It remains unclear when the Steelers plan to interview Kubiak.
Meanwhile, interest in the 49ers' coaching staff extends beyond the offensive side of the ball. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh continues to draw attention across the league. Saleh interviewed with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night and is scheduled to meet with the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans on Sunday, following San Francisco's Divisional Round playoff matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
