Kubiak Retains Joe Woods on Raiders Staff

Klint Kubiak has retained defensive pass‑game coordinator Joe Woods as he promotes Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator.

Klint Kubiak has kept Joe Woods on his Raiders staff, keeping continuity after promoting defensive line coach Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator. Woods, who worked with Kubiak in New Orleans as defensive coordinator, will continue as defensive pass‑game coordinator.

With 21 years of NFL coaching experience, Woods previously served as a defensive backs coach in Denver and was part of the 2015 Super Bowl‑winning Broncos staff. His return provides Kubiak with a familiar face as the Raiders prepare for the upcoming scouting combine.
