Sounds like Doug Pederson is out & will be taking the next year off. Damn. Today’s new name in the search for our next OC: Kirby Wilson from the Raiders.

Who? Also, this guy has been around Tom Cable! No thanks!!!!

Wilson is 59 and has no OC experience. I can't possibly think of a better candidate.

If they don't give Wilson what he wants, then he demands a trade, I'll probably stop watching the Seahawks tbh.

Do you actually know anything about Wilson or is this just ageism? You might be surprised by how much people can learn by the time they are 59.

Nothing against him, but hiring someone with no OC experience just based on past ties to Pete would be a thoroughly underwhelming hire. And he hasn't even interviewed for an OC role in 7 years, so he doesn't come across as a hungry up-and-comer, regardless of age. Again, the guy could be building an elite repertoire that he's waiting to unleash, but the general indicators are against it and suggest that he's a career position coach.

Bevell officially off the list. He wasn't coming back anyway, surely.

This makes absolutely no sense to me. Unless Bevell wasn't the problem here.

He draws up some great play action stuff. I don't think he's especially creative, and he wasn't doing great in Detroit either. If Jacksonville is going for Lawrence and wants to slow roll it with him like Russ in his first few years, Bevell might be alright.

Urban Meyer is a guy with an offensive background. Probably wants a specific element that Bevell excels at.

I’m still hoping we land Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka. He appears to be next in line to be the Chiefs OC, but if Bienemy gets screwed out of a head coaching job, Kafka couldn’t really get promoted there.

Exactly, Bevell is probably not going to have much of a hand in actually calling the offense, my bet is that Urban Meyer will be handling much of the offense. Afterall Urban Meyer has always been big at calling his own plays in college, I don't see much changing here.

I do know Bevell is seen around the league as being a good QB coach.

Teams are stupid. Chip Kelley coached a couple of NFL teams.

I'd like to throw the name Mike McCoy out there. Former QB's coach (Panthers), Offensive Coord (Panthers, Cardinals), and former Chargers Head Coach.

Well-experienced, out of a job...he meets all requirements.

Here is one that I find interesting indeed:

Add Joe Lombardi to the mix of names for Seahawks’ offensive coordinator job https://seattletimes.com/sports/seahawk ... _inset_1.1… via
@seattletimes

I like the Saint's O schemes as they seem able to take advantage of an intermediate passing game and play action.
And Vince Lombardi’s grandson.

The hawks have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and nobody wants this offensive coordinator job. That says everything. There gonna hire some 2nd string janitor to be Pete's lackey.

It s too bad there's no one to hold Pete accountable. If Russ is still here in Sepember, he won't be in 2022.

I'd be more interested in Lombardi than in any of the others I've heard so far. But I hope we clear the shelves trying to find the right guy for this job. Much more important to do a complete vet job than get in a rush just to be done with it.

I like the idea that the team is looking at quite a few candidates.

There are a lot of high quality coaches the team has spoken to so far. I highly doubt a single one is prepared to be a “yes man” like the Nellies around here are assuming Pete wants.

I want to see creativity and speed to adjust, the effective use of TEs, an innovative intermediate passing game that allows both an effective running game, and an ability to get schemed chunk plays. It’d be nice to see a running game that is more than pound it inside and depend upon the physicality of the RB, who absorbs the pounding b/c of the predictability of the running game. BS’ scheme beat up the backs so by year end they were less effective as a result. I’d also like to see edge busting speed as well. The team has talent and needs more imaginative innovation with the play calling to use the talent.

I have no idea who the OC will be right now, but only ask for four things:

1. An OC who PC will trust completely and not feel the need to meddle with the calls or schemes.

2. An OC who understands and knows how to make a new gameplan each week taking into account the next teams defensive strengths and weaknesses.

3. An OC who know how to make in-game adjustments so the other team's defense isn't able to accurately guess our plays on a constant basis.

4. An OC who knows how to teach and call a creative game that caters to RW's strengths and minimizes his weaknesses.

If at the minimum these attributes are found in our new OC then we may have the seeds for another true SB contender, and not just another few years of being a pretender in a Hawk's uniform. That would make me very happy!
