Seahawks Interviewing Christian Jones for Quarterbacks Coach Position
The Seattle Seahawks are actively searching for a new quarterbacks coach to complement their recently appointed offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak. Following a reported interview with Andrew Janocko, the quarterbacks coach from the New Orleans Saints, the Seahawks have turned their attention to Christian Jones, the assistant quarterbacks coach for the New York Giants.
Profile of Christian Jones
Christian Jones has been a member of the Giants’ coaching staff for the past three seasons. He began his tenure in 2022 as an offensive assistant before advancing to the role of assistant quarterbacks coach in 2023. During his time in this position, Jones has had the opportunity to work with notable quarterbacks such as Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito. His previous experience includes a collaboration with Kubiak on the Minnesota Vikings’ staff, where he served as offensive quality control in 2019 and later as the assistant wide receivers coach from 2020 to 2021.
Coaching Experience
- New York Giants (2022-present): Assistant quarterbacks coach
- Minnesota Vikings (2019-2021): Offensive quality control and assistant wide receivers coach
Jones’ coaching philosophy and familiarity with Kubiak’s system could provide a seamless transition for the Seahawks as they look to enhance their offensive strategies.
Implications of the Interviews
It’s important to note that Jones’ interview also aligns with the NFL’s Rooney Rule, which mandates that teams conduct at least one interview with a minority candidate for coaching vacancies. Although current Seahawks quarterbacks coach Charles London has not been officially dismissed, the engagement of multiple candidates suggests that the team is preparing for a shift in coaching personnel.
Next Steps for the Seahawks
As the Seahawks continue their search for a quarterbacks coach, the outcomes of these interviews will play a significant role in shaping the team’s offensive direction for the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike will be keenly observing how these developments unfold as the franchise aims to establish a strong foundation under Kubiak’s leadership.
