RENTON, Wash. -- As the Seattle Seahawks conduct their second search for an offensive coordinator in 11 months, general manager John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald will have at least one significant advantage that they didn't have on their first attempt.
More time, and thus more options.
Consider that this time last year, the organization was still conducting initial interviews for its head coach. The Seahawks weren't able to conduct an initial interview with Macdonald during the Baltimore Ravens' playoff bye week. They had to wait for the Ravens to lose in the AFC Championship Game to speak with him for the first time.
