Rapoport noted that Senger recently interviewed for the Chicago Bears’ OC opening, and that Arizona would like to retain him if possible. Pro Football Talk described Senger as Seattle’s first external candidate in the process, underscoring that the team is evaluating outside ideas as well.
The interview comes after Klint Kubiak left Seattle to take the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching job, creating a vacancy at a time when assistant moves are in high demand.
Previously, Seattle had lined up four in-house candidates—quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, pass-game coordinator Jake Peetz, run-game specialist Justin Outten, and tight ends coach Mack Brown—framing this external interview as a broader audition of ideas.
Senger’s rising profile across the league is noted, with interest from Chicago and Arizona’s retention efforts indicating a competitive market for a young offensive mind who could shape a modern pass game.
Next steps for Seattle include whether more external names surface, whether any internal staff depart, and whether the organization moves quickly or explores multiple directions before finalizing finalists. The key takeaway: Seattle is not strictly sticking to an internal track in its OC search.
