Kubiak Retains Joe Woods as Defensive Pass-Game Coordinator

Klint Kubiak has confirmed that defensive pass‑game coordinator Joe Woods will remain with the Raiders after Rob Leonard’s promotion to defensive coordinator.

Woods, who spent last season as the Raiders’ defensive backs coach and pass‑game coordinator, previously worked with Kubiak in New Orleans as the defensive coordinator while Kubiak was offensive coordinator.

With 21 years of NFL experience, including a Super Bowl‑winning stint as Denver’s DB coach under Gary Kubiak, Woods is the first position coach on Kubiak’s new staff as the team prepares for the upcoming scouting combine.
