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.

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.
