Seahawks interviewed former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich for their vacant position after he spoke with the Patriots

Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports that the Seattle Seahawks recently interviewed former Buccaneers OC Byron Leftwich for their vacant offensive coordinator position.

The Seahawks have been busy with their search for a new offensive coordinator as a fifth candidate has been leaked and another candidate earned a second interview.

Ryan Clark, former Super Bowl champion and ESPN analyst, criticizes the New England Patriots for their handling of the Rooney Rule during their recent head-coaching search, reigniting debates about NFL diversity efforts.

Super Bowl champion Ryan Clark blasted the New England Patriots on "Inside the NFL" for how they complied with the NFL's Rooney Rule when they hired Mike Vrabel.

The Rooney Rule is an NFL policy that requires teams to interview ethnic-minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs. The rule was created to help coaches who are minorities but ESPN’s Ryan Clark isn’t convinced it’s effective.

The Patriots are speaking with someone who has a strong connection to their most famous quarterback about their head coaching vacancy.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were both first-round picks, and are both on a Hall of Fame track. They also share the same legacy of not having won enough in the postseason.

The Bucs’ 2024 season came to an early and abrupt end in a 23-20 loss at home to the Commanders in the Wild Card playoff round. The team finished 10-7 with a fourth straight NFC South title, but failed to advance to the NFC Divisional playoff round as the team did a year ago.

The Jaguars can begin speaking to coaches in person starting on Jan. 20, which is the next major deadline in the Jaguars' search. The Jaguars can't speak to coaches who are coaching in the conference championship round until Jan. 27, which would likely mean we see the second leg of the search extend another week.
