ExtremeRavens Posted Thursday at 10:47 PM Posted Thursday at 10:47 PM We asked Grok AI who the Ravens would pick in the first round ahead of the 2025 NFL draft, and the artificial intelligence-powered chatbot selected Malaki Starks. Lo and behold, the Ravens went on to draft the safety out of Georgia. We’re going back to the well. Who will coach the Ravens in 2026 after the team fired John Harbaugh? “If I had to pick the Ravens’ next head coach, I’d go with Klint Kubiak, the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator,” Grok AI said. “Lamar Jackson is a generational talent in his prime, and the biggest criticism of the Harbaugh era in recent years has been failing to build an offense that consistently maximizes his dual-threat ability — especially in the playoffs.” Kubiak is among the coaches expected to interview with Baltimore. He spent 2021 leading the Vikings’ offense and 2024 in an offensive coordinator position with the Saints before joining the Seahawks this season. Seattle’s offense ranks eighth in the NFL in both total and scoring offense in 2025 with Sam Darnold at quarterback. Seattle’s defense, led by defensive coordinator Aden Durde and coach Mike Macdonald, might be the more impressive unit. It ranks No. 1 in the NFL in scoring defense, but the Seahawks are among the NFL’s most complete teams. Pro Football Focus grades Seattle’s offense as the fourth best in the NFL, and the Seahawks rank second in the NFL in runs of 20 yards or more. Only Baltimore, which put up 25, has more. “Kubiak’s scheme in Seattle this season has been explosive: heavy pre-snap motion, wide-zone running, a balanced mix of under-center and shotgun plays, and creative ways to get playmakers the ball in space,” Grok AI said. “Sam Darnold looked like a Pro Bowler under him, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba exploded as a receiver. That style translates perfectly to Jackson’s mobility and arm talent, potentially unlocking another level for the Ravens’ attack while keeping Todd Monken (if retained) or building around similar principles.” Grok, ever aware of readily available information on the internet, also likes Kubiak’s family history in Baltimore. Klint Kubiak’s father, Gary, was previously the offensive coordinator for the Ravens. “Baltimore loves continuity and culture fits, and Klint is already drawing heavy interest across the league (multiple interview requests reported),” Grok AI added. “He’s young (38), innovative, and offensive-minded, which feels like the fresh direction the team needs after years of defensive-heavy identity under Harbaugh.” Who else might be in the mix to replace Harbaugh after 18 seasons? Former Ravens assistants Anthony Weaver and Jesse Minter top Grok’s list. “Runners-up for me would be Anthony Weaver (familiarity, defensive stability, Ravens ties) or Jesse Minter (hot name, innovative D from the Macdonald tree), but prioritizing offense around Lamar tips it to Kubiak. The search is early — no hire yet as of January 8 — but he’s my guy.” Starks was Grok’s guy before the draft. Will the AI chatbot go 2-for-2 with Ravens prognostications? Have a news tip?
