The Seattle Seahawks continue to seek out their next offensive coordinator, and so far three candidates have received a second interview. Last week, Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and Vikings assistant offensive coordinator Grant Udinski received in-person interviews. Now, another name has been added to this exclusive club: Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley.
Fraley was on the initial list of candidates being interviewed, alongside fellow NFC North coach Thomas Brown, who was the interim head coach of the Chicago Bears this past season. With the Detroit Lions having been eliminated from the playoffs during their shocking 45-31 upset at the hands of the Washington Commanders, Fraley became readily available for in-person interviews much sooner than anyone anticipated.
Source says Lions OL coach Hank Fraley is scheduled to interview in-person today with the Seahawks for their offensive coordinator position. This will be the second interview for Fraley with the Seahawks.

Speaking of the Lions, their offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was just hired to be the next head coach for the aforementioned Chicago Bears. It is entirely plausible Johnson might want to bring Fraley along with him to the Windy City as someone he has worked with and knows his system well.
We at Seahawks Wire will of course be among the first to provide any updates for Seattle’s search for their next offensive coordinator.
