The Seattle Seahawks are deep into their search for a new offensive coordinator, having interviewed five candidates and focusing on potential pairings. Among the candidates, Hank Fraley, the offensive line coach from the Lions, is a leading contender. However, negotiations are complex as the Seahawks' front office seeks to pair him with an experienced play caller as a pass game coordinator. Candidates like Scott Turner, Byron Leftwich, and Ken Dorsey offer various strengths to fit this dual role.
Turner brings extensive experience as an NFL offensive coordinator and a prior relationship with Fraley, while Leftwich's proven success with various high-scoring offenses makes him a strong option despite being out of the league for two years. Dorsey’s tenure with the Bills and his challenges with the Browns highlight his mixed results but indicate potential upside. This search reflects the Seahawks' desire for a balanced offensive approach as they prepare for the upcoming season.
