The Seahawks, however, hit the block button.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Teams can block interview requests if the move is lateral\/not a promotion, which is what this was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Outten, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, passing game coordinator Jake Peetz, and tight ends coach Mack Brown are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/post\/XUt82d7d8thp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">four internal offensive coordinator candidates for the Seahawks<\/a>. He has prior working relationship with Kubiak when he was offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos in 2022, while Kubiak served as quarterbacks coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On the OC front: It\u2019s worth noting that Kubiak would most likely be the play-caller as Raiders head coach, whereas anyone who gets the Seattle position will be the play-caller. A decision on the Seahawks\u2019 next offensive coordinator is likely to be made in a matter of days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It remains to be seen how much of the existing Seattle Seahawks coaching staff will join former offensive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,88977,718],"class_list":{"0":"post-752533","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\/116071272493844324","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752533","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=752533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=752533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=752533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=752533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
