Make California Post a Preferred Source Cooper Kupp’s time with Klint Kubiak was short, but it certainly didn’t go the same way for him as it has for Raiders players.
Kubiak has emerged as an enthusiastic, electric coach who is often seen as one of the more energized coaches on the Raiders sideline.
On Wednesday, Kupp was asked if he had that same version of Kubiak last season and said he did not.
“There’s some clips I’m like, ‘There’s no way that’s Klint,” Kupp said.
Kupp rebuffed that he wasn’t trying to take a shot at his former offensive coordinator and call him, “flat” but admitted he’s a different type of coach in Las Vegas than he was in Seattle.
“It’s cool to see him out there. I always said the only thing would be like the energy, but he seems to have plenty of that energy over there now,” Kupp said. “Never showed that over here. But it’s good to see that he’s letting loose a little bit.”
Kupp added that there were times when he would show some energy, but he wasn’t “jumping up and doing the splits or anything.”
Kupp and Kubiak were tied together for only one season in Seattle, but it was one to remember.
The Seahawks wide receiver was in his first season playing for his hometown team and helped them win their second Super Bowl in franchise history, when he had six receptions for 61 yards.

Kupp is no stranger to shining when the lights are at their brightest, as he was crowned Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl 56 for having eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns when he was on the Rams.
The Seahawks finished last season tied for the seventh-best offense in the regular season, averaging 351.4 yards per game.
Kupp will now have the chance to see his former offensive coordinator’s newfound energy on Sunday when the Raiders and Seahawks play in Las Vegas on Sunday.
