Tacoma News Tribune\u2019s Gregg Bell reported on Monday that Seattle is \u201cclosing in on hiring\u201d a current coaching staff member to be the newest play-caller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Obvious internal candidates would be quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko (although his prior working experience with Kubiak across three teams could mean he goes with him to Vegas), pass game coordinator Jake Peetz, and run game specialist\/assistant offensive line coach\/co-running backs coach Justin Outten. It should be noted that Outten was not present for the Seahawks\u2019 media availability interviews on Wednesday or Thursday. Perhaps a little hint as far as the next OC? Outten was the OC for the Denver Broncos in their ill-fated 2022 season, although Nathaniel Hackett called the plays up until he ceded those duties to\u2026 Klint Kubiak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">(Editor\u2019s note: When Hackett was fired, Outten called plays in Weeks 17-18 under interim HC Jerry Rosburg)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Yes, the Seahawks just won the Super Bowl with two key members from the legendarily bad 2022 Broncos staff. One just became a head coach and the other might be Seattle\u2019s OC for 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We\u2019ll likely know as soon as this week who Kubiak\u2019s successor will be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coach Mike Macdonald will need his third OC in as many seasons, but the search may not be&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":740537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,88977,718],"class_list":{"0":"post-744718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-seattle-seahawks-coaching-staff","11":"tag-seattle-seahawks-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116052011677426190","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=744718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/740537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=744718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=744718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=744718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
