After the Detroit Lions' recent postseason elimination, offensive line coach Hank Fraley is emerging as a leading candidate for the Seattle Seahawks' offensive coordinator role. Following a second in-person interview scheduled for Tuesday, he joins two other candidates, Klint Kubiak and Grant Udinski, as the Seahawks seek a new offensive strategy post-Ryan Grubb's dismissal.
Despite lacking prior play-calling experience, Fraley's tenure in Detroit has seen him develop a robust offensive line, pivotal in the Lions' back-to-back NFC North title wins. His success is highlighted by a low sack rate and impressive rushing statistics, indicating his potential alignment with the Seahawks' desired physical offensive approach.
