Brock Purdy Reveals the Biggest Shock of His Career After the Seahawks Won a Super Bowl on the 49ers’ Home Field

Seattle, Washington Just days after lifting the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl LX, the Seattle Seahawks have officially closed one of the biggest questions of their offseason. Head coach Mike Macdonald has made the final call on the offensive coordinator position, selecting a familiar in-house name: Andrew Janocko. Janocko, who served as the team’s quarterbacks coach during the championship season, will take over the role vacated by Klint Kubiak, who left Seattle to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. The move is widely viewed as a stability-driven decision, underscoring Macdonald’s long-term vision after a title-winning year. Kubiak spent only one season with the Seahawks, but his impact was undeniable. Seattle’s offense was efficient, flexible, and explosive down the stretch, culminating in a dominant Super Bowl performance. Still, Kubiak’s rapid rise as one of the hottest coaching candidates on the market was something the organization had anticipated. Rather than entering an open search for outside candidates, Seattle opted to promote from within. Janocko was seen internally as the most natural successor — a coach deeply familiar with the system, the locker room, and the offensive philosophy that powered the championship run. Most importantly, he worked closely every day with quarterback Sam Darnold and played a significant role in the veteran’s resurgence during the season. Inside the organization, continuity is viewed as critical to sustaining success. Elevating Janocko allows the Seahawks to avoid major schematic disruption while preserving the language, tempo, and structure the players already know. For a team aiming not just to contend but to repeat, minimizing upheaval was a priority. Mike Macdonald emphasized the reasoning behind the decision with a message that was direct and deliberate. “We’re not looking for a revolution,” Macdonald said. “Andrew understands the people in this building, understands how we want to play football, and understands the standard of a championship team. Connection, discipline, and long-term growth matter more than anything else for the future of the Seahawks.” With Andrew Janocko officially entrusted with the offense, Seattle enters the new season grounded in familiarity, confidence, and belief. The Seahawks are no longer chasing a breakthrough — they are defending a crown, intent on turning one championship into the foundation of a lasting era under Mike Macdonald.
