With that in mind, the hiring could lend some credence to the notion that the Seahawks will adopt a new offensive gameplan in 2018. Schottenheimer has extensive NFL experience as an offensive coordinator, having served in the role with both the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams, though he wasn’t always popular in those jobs.
