Seahawks Interview Byron Leftwich For OC Role

The Seattle Seahawks are intensifying their search for a new offensive coordinator after firing Ryan Grubb, with former Buccaneers OC Byron Leftwich emerging as a prominent candidate. Leftwich, who previously led Tampa Bay's offense during their Super Bowl LV victory, interviewed for the position following a stint out of the league. Alongside Leftwich, the Seahawks are considering Vikings assistant Grant Udinski, Saints OC Klint Kubiak, and others, as they seek a coordinator capable of taking significant control over the offense. Leftwich's past success, including a top-three scoring finish with the Buccaneers from 2019-2021, positions him favorably despite a challenging 2022 season. His recent interviews, including one for the Patriots' head coaching vacancy, highlight his ongoing pursuit of an NFL coaching role. The Seahawks aim to address their offensive struggles after a disappointing season, where they finished in the middle tier for total offense.
