– Raheem Morris (Rams DC): +1200 (7.7%)

Despite missing the postseason this year with a 9-8 record, the Seahawks have maintained a winning record in 11 out of the past 12 years. The team, known for its adaptability in both offensive and defensive strategies, is expected to attract interest from top coaching candidates.
Potential Candidates
Potential candidates include offensive coordinators Ben Johnson and Frank Smith, who have demonstrated a strong understanding of modern NFL trends.
Dan Quinn, with experience leading the Falcons to a Super Bowl and currently coordinating the Cowboys’ defense, is also a reported target for the head coaching position.
Defensive coordinators such as Mike Macdonald and Steve Wilks are gaining traction, while Raheem Morris could potentially stay on the West Coast in a prominent role. Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, a Washington native, is also in contention.
Veteran coaches like Mike Vrabel and Bill Belichick are considered strong contenders for head coaching positions in 2024, whether in Seattle or elsewhere.
The Seahawks may prioritize candidates with more experience, potentially overlooking those with less experience like offensive coordinators Bobby Slowik and Dave Canales, along with Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce.
