The Seattle Seahawks are looking to retool after a disappointing campaign that saw them narrowly miss the playoffs under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald. The Seahawks elected to move on from their offensive coordinator after quarterback Geno Smith was inconsistent this year, following his breakout season in 2023.
Now the Seahawks are in search of the next person to lead their offense, which is critical for the organization as Macdonald made his name as a defensive coach, and one name is emerging as a top candidate.
After already conducting one interview with Klint Kubiak, the Seahawks are going forward with a second interview, per one prominent league insider.
“The (Seahawks) are doing a second, in-person interview with (Saints) OC Klint Kubiak on Friday, sources tell me and ( Mike Garafolo). Kubiak, who also interviewed for the (Browns) job, is one of the top OC candidates available,” reported NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Thursday.

Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“Wouldn’t be mad if we got him but I’d prefer Brian Schottenheimer,” one Seahawks fan wrote on Twitter.
“Considering what he did with the saints before they lost Carr and Olave i wouldn’t mind him. Always had good RPO plays for kamara,” another fan added.
“kinda wild how klint’s got more interviews than i have friends, but hey, if he can bring some of that saints magic to the seahawks, i’m here for it!” one fan added.
“He’ll do well with a seriously talented group of offensive weapons,” someone else wrote.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Seahawks can seal the deal with Kubiak.
