Shane Waldron is on his way out. This morning NFL Network reported that the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator is leaving town and will be taking the same position with the Chicago Bears.
Waldron has a good mind for designing plays and has helped Geno Smith develop into a top-10 quarterback. However, the results on the field had also been somewhat disappointing. If Waldron had gotten the most juice out of his talent as he could have this season, he’d been in the mix for head coach interviews right now – not making a lateral move as OC. The hard truth is the offense underperformed in 2023, especially on third down and in the red zone.
At the end of the regular season, they ranked a perfectly-average No. 17 in points per game, which is far below their potential even with the offensive line issues. Let’s see how Seattle fans are taking the news…
As a Seahawks fan good riddance

As a Seahawks fan he’s not the worst OC but there’s definitely better out there. Some games he will call some of the best plays you’ve ever seen but then some he falls flat on his face and calls plays that defenses just sniff out immediately and get 0-3 yards per play

has all the weapons in Seattle & can’t utilize them along with having the worse RZ offense. LFGGGGG

He sure wasn’t great at scheming for the opponent or mid game adjustments.
Good luck in chi town !

I guess we'll get to see how Justin Fields looks in a "Seahawks" offense after all…

Good for him. I’m glad it didn’t take long to land on his feet.

Good for Shane Waldron. I wasn’t particularly impressed with his ability to make adjustments but I think he showed enough to deserve another opportunity.
