Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is officially beginning the search for a new offensive coordinator immediately, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The announcement comes as Macdonald balances the celebration of a Super Bowl victory with the necessity of filling a key vacancy on his coaching staff.
Macdonald, appearing on "The Insiders," confirmed that the organization will conduct a full search to replace outgoing offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. While the Seahawks intend to look at external options, Macdonald emphasized that there are "strong in-house candidates" who will be given a serious look during the process. The transition follows a successful season that culminated in a championship, making the coordinator position one of the most attractive openings in the league.
The search for Kubiak's successor is expected to move quickly as the NFL offseason calendar progresses. Macdonald indicated that while he intends to enjoy the recent Super Bowl win, the work of building next year's staff starts now. The Seahawks front office and Macdonald will look to find a candidate capable of maintaining the high-level offensive production seen during their title run.
