While general manager John Schneider was busy trying to retain as many of the Seattle Seahawks' top free agents as possible, head coach Mike Macdonald was working to finalize his 2026 coaching staff.
The notable departures were former offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who is now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, and his new offensive coordinator, Andrew Janocko, the Seahawks' quarterbacks coach in 2025.
That meant Macdonald had to bring in multiple new assistants, and reshuffle the titles of some existing coaches from last season's Super Bowl-winning staff.
Here's the entire coaching staff, per the team's website, with the new arrivals and title changes.
New Arrivals

Daniel Stern, pass-game strategist

Orr, Hammock and Stern all previously worked with Macdonald in Baltimore during his decade with the Ravens. It's an experienced staff with a lot of carryover from a title-winning season. The fact that many coaches were able to get promotions was another plus for the staff.
Still, uncertainty remains around how the offense will adjust to a new offensive coordinator and whether Fleury can seamlessly step into a big role for the Seahawks.
