One of the more notable things about the Seattle Seahawks last year was the youth and relative inexperience of their coaching staff. Head coach Mike Macdonald, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, defensive coordinator Aden Durde and special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh were all first timer’s at these positions at the NFL level.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Seahawks are hiring Justin Outten as run game specialist. Outten, 41, was previously with the Titans. He was the running backs coach and run game coordinator in 2023 under former head coach Mike Vrabel.

The Seattle Seahawks announced they’ve hired Justin Outten as their new run-game coordinator on Thursday. Outten is the latest addition to new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s staff, joining other new hires such as John Benton, Andrew Janocko and Michael Byrne. Firstly, he’s another familiar face, reuniting with Kubiak.
