When former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak accepted an offer to take the helm of the Las Vegas Raiders, the question of which assistant coaches he’d try to poach from the Super Bowl champions was top of mind for many.
As of Sunday, it seems he’s found his first, hiring Seattle’s quarterbacks coach, Andrew Janocko, to be the next offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He worked alongside the new Raiders’ headman in New Orleans in 2024 and spent time on the Minnesota Vikings staff for three seasons from 2019 through 2021.
Janocko’s new role with the Raiders will be his first offensive coordinator job, although he’s worn many hats throughout his time as an assistant coach in the NFL. With over a decade in the NFL, he’s spent time coaching offensive lines and wide receivers with a primary focus on quarterbacks.
