Since the end of the 2017 season, the Seattle Seahawks have gotten through much shuffling on their coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball.

According to ESPN, the team has made the decision to hire former Indianapolis Colts quarterback coach Brian Schottenheimer as the next offensive coordinator.

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire Brian Schottenheimer as their next offensive coordinator, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schottenheimer will effectively replacement Darrell Bevell after a seven-year tenure with the Seahawks on head coach Pete Carroll. In fact, he will be the third offensive coordinator that Carroll has had since joining the team back in 2010. He had held that position with the New York Jets from 2006 to 2011 that included helping guide the team to back-to-back appearances in the AFC title game. He also held that job with the Rams back from 2012 to 2014.

Prior to those gigs, he had been an offensive assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs (1998), Washington Redskins (2001) and Los Angeles Chargers (2002-05). Schottenheimer is the son of longtime NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, who coached the Cleveland Browns, Chiefs, Chargers, and Redskins. In fact, Seahawks general manager John Scheider was in the front office with the Chiefs and Redskins while the elder Schottenheimer was at the helm with the organizations.

The 44-year-old be charged with the task of helping reboot the Seahawks offense after a disappointing 2017 season that saw them miss the playoffs for the first time in six years. He will have the benefit with working with Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson, who put together an MVP-caliber season finishing first with 34 touchdown passes, ninth with 3,983 passing yards, and 10th with a 95.4 quarterback rating.

However, the Seahawks had some notable problems running the ball ranking 23rd overall that saw Wilson lead the team in rushing with 586 yards while no running back on the roster had more than 250 yards. Wilson also scored three of the team's four rushing touchdowns.
