New offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is building out his staff, starting by hiring a passing game coordinator from division rival Los Angeles.
The Seattle Seahawks hosted the media Thursday to introduce the new coordinators that Mike Macdonald has hired, including Ryan Grubb, Aden Durde and Jay Harbaugh. Then, later Thursday the Hawks announced that they had added Devin Fitzsimmons as the assistant special teams coach. Now, a report Thursday afternoon has Seattle reportedly hiring a passing game coordinator from the division rival Los Angeles Rams.

Jake Peetz has spent the past two seasons as the pass game specialist for the Rams after serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for LSU during the 2021 season. Prior to that he spent time with the Carolina Panthers, then-Oakland but now Las Vegas Raiders, Washington and the Jacksonville Jaguars, in addition to spending the 2013 and 2018 seasons at Alabama.
Peetz joins offensive line coach Scott Huff as the only assistant coaches on the offensive side of the ball so far, though the number is almost certain to grow in the coming weeks.
