The Seattle Seahawks have requested an interview with Minnesota Vikings assistant coach Grant Udinski for their vacant offensive coordinator position, per Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network.

Udinski joins Detroit Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley, Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown, and New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as candidates reported to be under consideration by the Seahawks for the job, which was opened by the team firing Ryan Grubb last week.

Dig deeper:

Udinski, 28, has spent the last three seasons with the Vikings coaching staff. He joined the team as an assistant to head coach Kevin O'Connell in charge of special projects before becoming an assistant quarterbacks coach in 2023.

Udinski followed Matt Rhule from Baylor University to the Carolina Panthers in 2020 after spending a season as a graduate assistant for the Bears. He spent two years as a coaching assistant for the Panthers before leaving to join the Vikings coaching staff in 2022.

A native of Doylestown, Pa., Udinski played one season as a tight end at Davidson College before transferring to Towson University in 2016. He spent three years at Towson as a defensive end before getting into coaching at Baylor in 2019.
