The Baltimore Ravens are on the lookout for a new head coach to succeed John Harbaugh, who was recently let go. According to Grok AI, the frontrunner for the position is Klint Kubiak, the current offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.
In a predictive analysis, Grok AI had previously selected Malaki Starks for the Ravens in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, a choice that proved accurate when Baltimore drafted the safety from Georgia. Now, the focus shifts to who will take charge as head coach in 2026 following Harbaugh”s dismissal.
“If I had to pick the Ravens” next head coach, I”d go with Klint Kubiak,” said Grok AI. “Lamar Jackson is a generational talent in his prime, and the biggest criticism of the Harbaugh era has been the inability to construct an offense that fully utilizes his dual-threat capabilities, particularly in playoff scenarios.”
Kubiak”s coaching credentials include a successful tenure leading the offense for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and a stint as the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints in 2024 before joining the Seahawks. Under his guidance, Seattle”s offense has ranked eighth in the NFL for both total offense and scoring in 2025, with quarterback Sam Darnold leading the charge.
The Seahawks” defense, orchestrated by defensive coordinator Aden Durde and head coach Mike Macdonald, has outperformed, ranking first in scoring defense. However, the Seahawks are recognized as one of the league”s most complete teams, with their offense graded as the fourth best in the NFL by Pro Football Focus. The team also ranks second in the league for plays resulting in gains of 20 yards or more, with only Baltimore surpassing them.
Furthermore, Grok AI noted Kubiak”s family ties to the Ravens, as his father, Gary Kubiak, previously served as Baltimore”s offensive coordinator. “Baltimore appreciates continuity and cultural alignment, and Klint is already attracting significant interest across the league, with multiple interview requests reported,” added Grok AI. “At just 38 years old, he embodies the innovative, offensive-minded direction the team seems to require after years of a defense-first identity under Harbaugh.”
Aside from Kubiak, Grok AI also mentioned former Ravens assistants Anthony Weaver and Jesse Minter as potential candidates. “My alternative picks would be Anthony Weaver, due to his familiarity and Ravens history, or Jesse Minter, a rising star from the Macdonald coaching tree. However, prioritizing an offensive approach centered around Lamar Jackson gives Kubiak the edge. The search for a new head coach is just beginning, with no appointment made as of January 8, but he is my top choice,” Grok AI stated.
As the Ravens prepare for this critical transition, it remains to be seen if Grok AI”s predictions will hold true once again.
