Seattle Seahawks Begin Offensive Coordinator Search

Issaquah, WALocal News

The Seattle Seahawks have initiated their search for a new offensive coordinator after the dismissal of Ryan Grubb, with interviews lined up for several candidates. Among those being considered are Hank Fraley, currently the offensive line coach for the Detroit Lions, and Thomas Brown, who recently served as the interim head coach of the Chicago Bears. The Seahawks have also submitted a request to interview Klint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints, whose future is uncertain following the firing of head coach Dennis Allen. Head coach Mike Macdonald has highlighted the importance of maintaining an open-minded approach in selecting a new coordinator, aiming to ensure a good fit for the team's offensive strategy. The Seahawks faced challenges with their offensive line and running game last season, contributing to the urgency of this decision.

Each candidate brings a unique coaching background and experience that could significantly influence the Seahawks' offensive capabilities moving forward. As they navigate this critical transition, the coaching staff's decisions will be pivotal in the team's performance in the upcoming season. The outcome of these interviews could have lasting implications for the Seahawks' strategy and success.
