A pair of finalists recently emerged regarding the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator vacancy. The team is continuing to expand its list of candidates, however. 
Seattle has met with Packers OC Adam Stenavich, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports. Stenavich just finished his sixth season in Green Bay, and with the team out of contention for the Super Bowl he could be hired away at any time. It will be interesting to see if a second interview is arranged in the near future.
Stenavich worked as a graduate assistant at Michigan in 2012 and ’13 before working as an offensive line coach at Northern Arizona and then San Jose State. His first NFL gig came 2017 with the 49ers. The 41-year-old worked as an assistant O-line coach in San Francisco for two seasons before joining Matt LaFleur‘s initial Packers staff in 2019.
For three years, Stenavich served as Green Bay’s offensive line coach; in 2021, he had run game coordinator added to his title. When Nathaniel Hackett and Luke Getsy departed during the 2022 offseason, it came as little surprise he was promoted to OC. LaFleur has continued to handle play-calling duties since then, but Stenavich’s stock has risen during his time in a coordinator role.
The Bears met with Stenavich as part of their wide-ranging HC search. Chicago ultimately went in a different intra-divisional direction by bringing in former Lions OC Ben Johnson. No other teams spoke with Stenavich for a head coaching gig, but now he is a candidate for one of the league’s coordinator openings. Seattle has already interviewed Klint Kubiak and Grant Udinski twice, so it will be worth watching closely to see if the team adds Stenavich to the groups of finalists.
