RENTON, Wash. -- Whereas a segment of Seattle Seahawks fans wants the team to replace polarizing quarterback Geno Smith, new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak took the job in part because of the opportunity to coach him.
Kubiak said as much Tuesday during his introductory news conference at team headquarters, which marked the latest signal from the organization that it plans to stick with Smith as its starter in 2025.
Another one came last week from coach Mike Macdonald, who gave the quarterback his clearest endorsement yet. As Macdonald and Kubiak spoke to reporters for nearly 30 minutes Tuesday, absent were any comments suggesting the possibility of a change at the position.
