Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has made a significant change after his inaugural season, firing offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb due to dissatisfaction with the team's offensive balance. The decision came after the Seahawks finished a 10-7 season, culminating in a narrow 30-25 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Despite quarterback Geno Smith breaking franchise records, the Seahawks' offense ranked poorly in rushing, finishing 28th in the league. Macdonald's vision for the offense differed from Grubb's, prompting the coaching change as the team aims to improve moving forward.
