Seahawks Eye New Offensive Coordinator Post-Super Bowl LX
The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for a pivotal change in their coaching staff following Super Bowl LX. Klint Kubiak, who has served as the offensive coordinator during their recent season, is transitioning to the head coach role for the Las Vegas Raiders. This move presents an opportunity for the Seahawks to consider new leadership for their offense.
Seahawks’ Offensive Highlights
During the 2025 NFL season, the Seahawks showcased a powerful offensive performance. They finished third in the league for points per game, averaging 28.4. In addition, they ranked eighth for passing yards at 228.1 per game, and tenth for rushing yards.
Future Offensive Coordinator Candidates
With Kubiak’s departure, the Seahawks are on the hunt for their fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. A strong candidate for the role is Mike Kafka, the former offensive coordinator for the New York Giants. Kafka previously interviewed for the position last year before Kubiak was appointed.
Mike Kafka’s Coaching Experience
- Former quarterbacks coach for the Kansas City Chiefs (2018-2021)
- Served as offensive coordinator for the New York Giants for four seasons
- Filled in as interim head coach for the Giants during the final seven games of the previous year
- Notable success includes a 9-7 season in 2022
Kafka’s track record shows promise, having worked with talented players like Patrick Mahomes. His experience with young talent at the Giants could be beneficial for the Seahawks as they look for stability on offense.
Importance of the Right Leadership
Securing Kafka could bring a fresh perspective and a robust strategy to the Seahawks’ offensive line-up. With key players like Sam Darnold, known for his deep-passing capabilities, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the league’s Offensive Player of the Year, the Seahawks have the potential for a dynamic offense.
As the team heads into the 2026 season, the decision on the next offensive coordinator will be critical. A strategic choice could set the stage for an exciting chapter in Seahawks football. Fans eagerly await developments as the team prepares for their next moves after Super Bowl LX.
