The Ravens are in the midst of interviewing candidates for their head coaching position. Analysts familiar with the interviewees chatted with Glenn Clark Radio about what the coaches would bring to Baltimore. Here’s what they had to say about the candidates with offensive backgrounds.
Kliff Kingsbury
Kingsbury interviewed with the Ravens on Jan. 12. The 46-year-old was the head coach at Texas Tech (2013-2018) and for the Arizona Cardinals (2019-2022). Most recently, he was the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders (2024-2025).
Kingsbury is one of the best quarterbacks in Texas Tech history, having run Mike Leach’s “Air Raid” system with great success in the early 2000s. As an offensive coordinator and head coach, Kingsbury has developed a reputation as a quarterback guru and creative football mind.
Kingsbury went 28-37-1 during his four-year stint with Arizona, but he helped lead Washington to the NFC championship game in 2024.
“Kliff’s reputation speaks for itself in terms of his ability to maximize and speak to quarterbacks,” Commanders analyst Logan Paulsen said on GCR Jan. 15. “It’s unparalleled in terms of his ability to come into a room and get the most out of a guy. I think we look at Kyler Murray now compared to what he was with Kliff, totally different football player. Jayden Daniels Year 1 was absolutely fantastic, literally had a historic rookie season, and obviously Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech.”
The Ravens have built their offense the past two years around quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. Featured backs like Henry don’t generally spring to mind when thinking about Kingsbury’s spread offense, but Paulsen said the coach would take advantage of what Henry brings to the table.
“The thing he does seem to like is having bigger backs that can get downhill and take advantage of light box counts,” Paulsen said. “What I mean by that is he’s going to get different formations, he’s going to spread you out, he’s going to force you to displace defenders from the box and then you get that big body running downhill.”
Klint Kubiak
Kubiak interviewed with the Ravens on Jan. 9. The 38-year-old is the son of one-time Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak. He has been an offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings (2021), New Orleans Saints (2024) and Seattle Seahawks (2025).
This year, Kubiak is working closely with Seahawks head coach and former Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald while directing a productive offense (5.9 yards per play in the regular season, fifth in the league). He has gotten a lot out of quarterback Sam Darnold (67.7 percent passing, 4,048 yards and 25 touchdowns) and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (119 catches, 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns).
Seattle Sports 710 AM host Brock Huard warned that Kubiak doesn’t have a huge personality that pops in news conferences. He also opined that the Atlanta Falcons were the best fit for him, but the Falcons hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski instead.
“If you were to watch the 17 press conferences with Klint Kubiak this year, I don’t think you walk away going, ‘Yeah, this guy’s overwhelming. He wows the room and wins press conferences,'” Huard said on GCR Jan. 13. “But he wins relationships. He wins it over with players. He wins respect. That’s really all that matters.”
Nate Scheelhaase
Scheelhaase interviewed with the Ravens on Jan. 17. The 35-year-old held a variety of roles at Illinois and Iowa State from 2015-2023 prior to breaking into the NFL. Scheelhaase has been with the Los Angeles Rams the past two years, first as an offensive assistant and passing game specialist in 2024 and then as the passing game coordinator in 2025.
And just like that, Scheelhaase is garnering interest from teams with head coach openings.
“Nate Scheelhaase is a guy who you could say is jumping the line, but that’s because he has earned it,” Rams radio analyst D’Marco Farr said on GCR Jan. 14. “He’s going to get his interviews. Whether or not he gets a job, or if [Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur] gets a job, he will move up next year, guaranteed based on the job he’s done, the group he’s working with and how much he’s impressed Sean McVay. At some point, he’s going to move up and be in position to be a head coach in the National Football League.”
Scheelhaase is hardly a bystander in the Rams’ operation, according to Farr.
“Watching Sean McVay from when he came in, only certain guys get into that room when it comes to game-planning. Nate Scheelhaase hasn’t been here that long, and he’s already there,” Farr said.
Davis Webb
Webb interviewed with the Ravens on Jan. 8. The soon-to-be 31-year-old has been the Denver Broncos’ quarterbacks coach under Sean Payton the past three seasons and added the title of offensive pass game coordinator this season. He made one start as a quarterback in the NFL before moving on to coaching.
Since breaking into the league last year, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has completed 64.8 percent of his passes and thrown for 7,706 yards and 54 touchdowns. Nix has spoken highly of Webb in the past.
Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan host Mark Schlereth wondered if Webb the right fit for Baltimore, though he allowed that at one point a 30-year-old Sean McVay was hired as the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams.
“I would look at it this way: How dynamic has the Broncos’ offense been?” Schlereth said on GCR Jan. 12, referring to Denver’s middle-of-the-road unit. “I know [Webb has] a connection with the quarterback and I know that he’s done a good job with that stuff, but Sean Payton’s still the play-caller. Is that really the direction you’re going to go when it comes to making that decision?”
Schlereth also pointed out that the young coaches getting opportunities to interview for offensive coordinator and head coach positions are typically passing game coordinators, a category that Webb fits into.
“The issue that you get into with that is they don’t know how to run the ball and they don’t know how to tie that passing game necessarily to their play-action game, which is the most imperative part,” Schlereth said.
