I was born in Seattle, so I love my "team" over individual players. And I'm just getting comfortable enough to watch several podcasts for back to back weeks, and let me tell you, Rob and Salk are my 2 favorites for Hawks news. Keep up the good work Rob and GoHawks!!
McVay was promoted to by OC by Washington with no play calling experience. After two successful seasons working with Cousins he became HC of the Rams. If they think he's on a similar trajectory, then why not. It's definitely going to be an interesting hiring process. Excited to see who gets the job. Thank for the updates on Current and Possible candidates Rob. Keep up the great content.
I was listening to Brian’s pod and was very interested in this 28 year old. I like the fact that he’s all about football. And Sean was hired as the Rams head coach when he was 30 so yeah. I’m liking the search they’re doing this time. Have to give John and Mike credit
I think some of you are overthinking this and glorifying/overrating these said “brilliant minds”, the Seahawks don’t need a tactician in the OC role, they need a vet/proven playcaller who can lead men (not only players, but other coaches too!) and operate the whole unit, think about what Wade Phillips was in McVay’s first two years as HC. Please don’t experiment or overcomplicate this, we don’t need the Good Will Hunting of Football. I mean, look at his role according to his own boss “assistant offensive coordinator/assistant quarterbacks coach.” His unofficial roles include: mentor to McCarthy; post-practice pass rusher or receiver for Sam Darnold; advance scout and practice lieutenant for Phillips; complement to QB coach Josh McCown; “Crazy Grant” to O’Connell’s kids; confidant, protégé and occasional comedic target for O’Connell. The Seahawks simply need a coach who is able to play complimentary football, consistently produce extended drives and don’t mess up in the red zone or allow your unit to abuse flags and turnovers. Not rocket science.
“You hope they know who they want” Tee Martin makes sense as option A. Kubiak coming available might have been a surprise. Due diligence is definitely being done. I think it comes down to Tee, Kubiak and Udinski
I have a interesting idea….hire a offensive coordinator who is young and full of creativity. Also hire a offensive coordinator to delegate the ideas and schemes to the team. This would be a more respected and experienced person. Might be worth a try.
For the selfish purpose of consistency I would like a rubbish head coach who is an awesome OC play caller so we can keep him for a few years. But I'm sure it'll be fine.
I wondered about another role (qb coach) or for the NEXT time we hire someone, since he’s so young. Some of these interviews are to establish connections. Pete used draft visits the same way early on. Knew the guy for when he was a free agent.
@ for more opportunities? He’s not calling the plays in Minnesota, but could potentially get more experience getting some more coaching under his belt and possibly be a play caller down the line.
I’m a simply person Rob makes a vid I click!! Best person covering the Hawks period!
Thank you so much for the reporting Rob. Wouldn't know most of these without you introducing them to us

thx Rob ahead of the curve already offering up insights with the up and coming coaches similar to your Adam Gase with Benn Johnson's past
If a guy has IT,he just has IT. Regardless of age. Sounds like he and Mike would get along really well.
Really appreciate your updates and perspective, keep up the great work!
Dang Rob outstanding work on your part

immediately #1 candidate in my opinion.
I see new Rob video I click
Here comes a new challenger
Thanks!
Thanks Glen!
Go Hawks. Get it right 🎉🎉

Rob lives 8 hours ahead of Pacific time, which allows him to get to the stories first. Adam Schefter is so jealous.
😂
Hank Fraley has my vote
“You hope they know who they want” Tee Martin makes sense as option A. Kubiak coming available might have been a surprise. Due diligence is definitely being done. I think it comes down to Tee, Kubiak and Udinski
Hank F & BT & GU seem very fine.
28 for OC is crazy, why arent we checking out McCown?
Because he might end up a HC.
We might be
I wonder how creative Udenski is? What are his communication skills? Can he relate the offense to the players?
28 years old??? OMG
Damn I missed you live I would’ve super chatted my donation!!! Next time Rob! Peace ✌🏾!!! I will ask this question? Who is your choice for OC?
At the minute I'd be happiest with Kubiak, this guy or McCown
@ brother I was thinking the same thing and possibly Kafka
nice

Sounds like a passing game coordinator rather than an OC. The plat calling hasn’t been right for years
Hopefully they turn over every stone no matter how long it takes, just get it right
For the selfish purpose of consistency I would like a rubbish head coach who is an awesome OC play caller so we can keep him for a few years. But I'm sure it'll be fine.
Pretty soon we’ll have a 21 yr old OC😂😂
Perhaps he's being interviewed for another role and bring in Darnold?
The report said he was being interviewed for the OC role. Doubt he'd leave O'Connell for a sideways type move
I wondered about another role (qb coach) or for the NEXT time we hire someone, since he’s so young. Some of these interviews are to establish connections.
Pete used draft visits the same way early on. Knew the guy for when he was a free agent.
@@robstatonfootballis it a step back tho? Isn’t he just an assistant?
I don’t believe this is for oc I think it’s more for a positional coaching job…..
Why would he leave a fantastic situation working with O’Connell to take a sideways positional job in Seattle?
@ for more opportunities? He’s not calling the plays in Minnesota, but could potentially get more experience getting some more coaching under his belt and possibly be a play caller down the line.
People talked bout grubb being to pass happy wasnt mcbay pass happy last night and dont want vikings coach there o line was bad last night
If you are capable of passing, then do it.
And are we supposed to only hire team with good lines? So Eagles and Lions?
So you don't want to lend from two of the best systems in the NFL?
No way
I see Sam Darnold, replacing Geno, after the playoffs price may be coming down.
Lets get former Rams HC Jeff Fisher out of retirement and put the league on notice!
