The Seattle Seahawks have made big-time coaching changes to the offensive side of the ball in recent days and hours. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak made two key staffing appointments, hiring Andrew Janocko as quarterbacks coach (replacing Charles London), and John Benton (replacing Scott Huff) as offensive line coach. Despite Kubiak making some sweeping changes, at least one key position coach will remain on staff.
The Seahawks have opted to retain Frisman Jackson was the wide receivers coach, according to various reports.
Andrew Janocko to Seattle as QB coach confirmed, per source. Janocko was with new Seahawks OC Klint Kubrick in New Orleans.
Also, Seattle WR coach Frisman Jackson will be retained, per source. Some familiarity in the passing game with Jaxon Smith-Njigba coming off 100 catches

Jackson joined Mike Macdonald’s staff as wide receivers coach last offseason and appears slated to be one of few holdovers on Kubiak’s offensive staff. Jackson is a long-time coaching veteran. He first began coaching WRs at his alma mater Western Illinois in 2008, and made the jump to the NFL in 2017 with the Tennessee Titans.
Seattle’s wide receivers saw terrific success under Jackson’s coaching tutelage throughout 2024. Sophomore wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba enjoyed a monstrous breakout campaign, recording 100 receptions for 1,130 receiving yards and a team-high six touchdowns. DK Metcalf battled recurring injuries, but still fell just eight yards short of 1,000.
Retaining Jackson adds some much-needed continuity to Kubiak’s offensive coaching staff. Wide receiver play wasn’t a disappointing issue for the Seahawks in 2024. Smith-Njigba should continue developing under Jackson.
