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.
