Quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko is interviewing with the Raiders for their offensive coordinator position on Sunday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported.
Bump: How Seattle Seahawks can take another step forward
Janocko is one of four in-house candidates who reportedly interviewed for the Seahawks’ OC job on Thursday and Friday. The others were passing game coordinator Jake Peetz, run game specialist/assistant offensive line coach Justin Outten and tight ends coach Mack Brown.
The 37-year-old Janocko has plenty of history with Kubiak, who left the Seahawks after their Super Bowl win to become the head coach of the Raiders. Janocko joined Seattle’s staff last February following Kubiak’s hiring as offensive coordinator. The pair were in New Orleans the season prior while Kubiak served as the offensive coordinator of the Saints and Janocko as the quarterbacks coach. They were also on the same staff for three years (2019-21) with the Minnesota Vikings, including when Kubiak was the offensive coordinator and Janocko the quarterbacks coach in 2021.
Janocko’s full time in Minnesota spanned seven seasons from 2015-21. He was also an offensive quality control coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2012-13 and quarterbacks coach with the Chicago Bears from 2022-23.
Janocko is set to be the third Seahawks assistant reportedly interviewed by the Raiders. Las Vegas interviewed wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson for the offensive coordinator job, according to multiple reports. It also interviewed safeties coach Jeff Howard for their defensive coordinator position on Saturday, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. However, the team promoted defensive line coach Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator on Sunday.
Additionally, the Raiders requested to interview Outten to be their run game coordinator, but the Seahawks blocked the request, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Friday.
