I'd like to add his name for possible OC candidates if Grubb is gone but this time next week. He has a background as an OL coach, and was their run game coordinator before being promoted to OC this season.

I am envious of GB's OL & run game, can Seattle entice him to come here by offering him the opportunity to call plays?

Thoughts?

Is he leaving a PO team at the end of the season????

Why would he leave a good job for Seattle???????
That's simple, why wouldn't he want to coach under a certified defense guru? An OC working under a defense minded HC has more freedom, right?

The Vikings are 15-2 (Packers at 11-5) and going to the playoffs. Seattle has no IOL, no QB, and the offense has been a $#!+show all year. Why would he leave a GOOD job for that?

It's ridiculous, it's not even a latteral move. It's a step backward.

Why do Seattle fans think they can just get whomever they want at anytime? Hilarious. Seattle is not the destination it was a decade ago. It's South Alaska again until further notice.

First off, he's not with the Vikings. Second, we're not the Raiders, the OC job in Seattle isn't as bad as you're making it sound, so relax. Third, he'd be calling plays, that's why he would want the job. Fourth, the offense doesn't look good because of our CURRENT OC, that's why us fans are suggesting other options, he would be hired so that it won't look like a "sh*t show". And lastly, it's just speculation, that's what every fan base does when their current regime is struggling, we know we're not entitled to have any coach we want.

Why would he make a lateral move?
How is going from an OC who doesn't call plays to an OC that does a lateral move? I don't get why everyone here is calling this a lateral move, lateral would be if he was a head coach. I get that Seattle is not as good as GB, but some people like the challenge of transforming an offense, if he's not that type of guy, then he won't come, which is fine. I'm just trying to see what everyone else here thinks of him. Considering he is part of a good offense, and has a background developing O-Linemen and a run game, which is what Seattle needs.

I didn't realize he didn't call plays. Never heard of an OC that doesn't call plays. Usually they are called slightly different titles in that case.

It's not uncommon. McVay, McDaniel, Reid, O'Connell, Lefleur, etc...call the offense for their teams, even though they have someone on staff with the OC title.

Just like our own HC calls the defense, even though Aden Durde is our DC.

You're right, I didn't realize Lefleur was one of them. It would be interesting to see how much input those OC's under those guys have in the systems. We don't want another Waldren.

No thanks, I don't want an OC who doesn't call his own plays. If they move on from Grubb, it would be counterproductive to take a gamble on another 1st year on the job hire. If there's no viable OC with proven experience, then just roll with Grubb again and see if he improves

Well, I guess it depends if he can get some input on offensive lineman he would draft. If JS says, “no,” I would be taking my talents elsewhere.

Nowadays, OC, are entirely dependent on the OL. I wouldn’t want to interview for a team that has no recent decent history of quality offensive line play.

The Seahawks, if they let go of Grubb, go through OCs like people go through shoes. One or two years, dispose them and get a new one. Granted, it’s like for most teams, when Seattle does it, it is cause the coordinator isn’t “measuring up.”

It’s sucks being a UW fan, I really wanted Grubb to succeed, but if Grubb is let go, Grubb, isn’t the only problem and we will find out again next season and so on and so on and so forth until the entire original PC and JS band is removed altogether!

Because Eric Bienemy.

Bienemy had the OC title under Andy Reid, but couldn't get head coach consideration because no one knew whether he was any good or if Reid was the reason for the offensive success in KC. He had to take a job with the Commanders and prove that he could be a successful playcaller. And he failed.

Seattle has three very good receivers (well, two if Lockett retires), three very good RBs and yes, a good QB. At least any OC worth his salt is going to look at Geno's physical skills and figure that he can get the most from him.

Also, Seattle has proven that the team will spend money to put a quality product on the field. And Seattle is, with one game to go, a single game out of first place. Yes, tiebreakers etc etc. The point is, despite how much the offense struggled, the team isn't a shitshow, has an up and coming head coach, has a defense that has massively improved over the year, and if the offense had been even decent in even ONE of our losses we'd be playing for the division championship this weekend.

Lafleur is young and not going anywhere. If Stenovich doesn't want to compete for an OC job somewhere, then I wouldn't want him. He might not leave after this year, but he isn't going to stay forever. Show me a better situation with an OC vacancy.

That's all well and good, great points. We'll have to disagree about the QB [lol]. I'm not sure using a coach failing his opportunity with a new team is a good example of why this GB coach is a good idea. I may have missed something in translation there, that's on me, haha.

Still, doesn't explain why he would come here. Is he getting a raise? If not, why take on more work for the same or less pay? Inherit one of the worst OL in the league (you just had a top tier unit) and a GM that doesn't see the value in them. I'm still not seeing the benefits though, again valid points. Just not convincing enough for me.
