The Seattle Seahawks are searching for their next offensive coordinator. While we do not know who that man will be, we now have an idea of who it won’t be. The Seahawks have given second interviews to three candidates, one of which was Detroit Lions offensive coach Hank Fraley.
Following Detroit’s shocking upset loss in the Divisional Round, Fraley received his second interview with Seattle. This time, it was in-person. However, it appears Fraley is opting to remain in the Motor City, not pursuing opportunities in the Pacific Northwest or perhaps with the Chicago Bears under his former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Sounds like Hank Fraley will be staying in Detroit and not joining the #Bears staff.

How do we know Fraley will be remaining with the Lions? Well, if you ask me, his wife seems like a pretty reliable source on this topic! Danielle Fraley posted this on her Facebook account:

With Fraley out of the running for offensive coordinator, this leaves the Seahawks with two remaining candidates from those they gave second interviews to: New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and Minnesota Vikings assistant offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski.
Seattle has also given interviews to former Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. So far, neither have been given second interviews.
