Seahawks, offensive coordinator
The Seattle Seahawks, in their search for a new offensive coordinator, could employ a rather unusual tactic when it comes to the position. NFL insider Albert Breer is reporting the Seahawks are considering splitting the position between two coaches – a run game coordinator paired with a passing game coordinator.
The Seahawks are in the second round of interviews for offensive coordinator. What else does the offseason have in store?
As the NFL coaching carousel picked up steam, so did the rumor mill about where the Seahawks' search for a new offensive coordinator may be headed.
The Seattle Seahawks are in the market for a new offensive coordinator, and so far, there have been five names the team has been looking at: Byron Leftwich, former offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Grant Udinski, current assistant offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the Minnesota Vikings
As the Seahawks’ search for an offensive coordinator to replace the fired Ryan Grubb enters its third week, a third candidate is coming to town for a second interview.
Now entering their third week of interviews, the Seahawks may need to hasten their offensive coordinator search with new competition entering the mix.
Detroit’s offensive line coach joins two other, younger candidates as those Mike Macdonald’s talked to twice for Seattle’s OC job.
Adding his name to the growing list of candidates, Byron Leftwich spoke with the Seahawks as he tries to get back into the NFL.
The Seattle Seahawks continue to go through the process of appointing a new offensive coordinator. To date, three finalists have been identified, all of which interviewed virtually to start, before receiving in-person second interviews.
Byron Leftwich, a former NFL quarterback, two-time Super Bowl winner and recently Tom Brady’s offensive coordinator with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, interviewed for the same job with the Seahawks recently. CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reported that Friday.
