Will Klint Kubiak become more aggressive on 4th down?
New head coach has history of not being aggressive
San Jose, California - On February 4, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks' Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak was speaking to the media prior to Super Bowl LXX at the San Jose Convention Center. Fourth-down aggression has become more prevalent among NFL offensive playcallers in recent seasons, yet some coaches exhibit greater boldness than others.
A study conducted by Pro Football Focus analyzed the most and least aggressive teams on fourth down during the 2021-25 NFL seasons. The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers were ranked among the least aggressive in this regard, alongside the New Orleans Saints, who had the second-lowest number of successful fourth-down conversions during that period.
Although Kubiak's impact cannot be solely attributed to these statistics, as he was associated with these three teams during the study period, it will be intriguing to observe his approach to fourth-down playcalling as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
