Seahawks offensive assistant joins Patriots’ coaching staff

New Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has already made sweeping changes to Mike Macdonald’s coaching staff. Earlier this week, John Benton was hired to coach the offensive line, and Andrew Janocko was named quarterbacks coach. Some continuity was present through retaining Frisman Jackson as wide receivers coach. Wednesday brought another coaching departure on the offensive side of the ball.

Chuckie Keeton served as an offensive assistant on Ryan Grubb’s staff last season. Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots recently announced their 2025 coaching staff. Keeton appears as an offensive assistant, finalizing his departure from the Seahawks.

Keeton played quarterback at Utah State from 2011-15. He quickly began his coaching career, joining Oregon State as a GA in 2016. The 2024 campaign was Keeton’s first season in the NFL and Seattle. It’s highly unlikely he signed a one-year contract, so it’s more likely Kubiak has made the decision to not retain him.

Macdonald has handed the keys to the offense to Kubiak. He’s making borderline sweeping changes to the coaching staff. Keeton appears to be another Kubiak-driven departure.
