Report: Anthony Lynn named a candidate for Seahawks offensive coordinator position

Pete Carroll wants Anthony Lynn in Seattle.

The Chargers parted ways with Anthony Lynn earlier this month. However, there’s a good chance that Lynn will likely be back on his feet coaching as early as this next season.

According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, Lynn has spoken with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll about becoming the team’s new offensive coordinator.

Pelissero added that Lynn isn’t sure of his future plans but Seattle wants him to be in charge of their offense.

This wouldn’t be Lynn’s first rodeo as offensive coordinator. He was hired as the Bills’ OC early in the 2016 season after Greg Roman was fired. Prior to that, he served as Buffalo’s running backs coach for a few seasons.

Along with Lynn, offensive coordinator Shane Steichen and quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton are also in consideration for the same position.

Report: Chargers OC Shane Steichen expected to receive interest from Seahawks

The Seahawks could be eyeing Shane Steichen to fill the offensive coordinator spot.

The Seahawks recently fired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

Seattle does not plan on wasting any time to fill the vacancy, and one candidate they could be eyeing is Chargers OC Shane Steichen.

According to NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo, it’s expected that Steichen will be on the list of possible replacements.

After serving as Los Angeles’ quarterbacks coach, Steichen was promoted to offensive coordinator after the team parted ways with Ken Whisenhunt midway through the 2019 season.

With his first full season calling the plays, L.A. averaged 382.1 yards per game (9th), 270.6 passing yards per game (6th) and 24.0 points per game (18th).

Steichen along with QBs coach Pep Hamilton are credited for some of the success of rookie sensation Justin Herbert.

If Steichen isn’t back, they will be looking to fill his void along with the defensive coordinator spot after Gus Bradley found a new home with the Raiders.

Update: According to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, Seattle may consider Hamilton for the role.
