According to Jeremy Fowler, the Seahawks blocked the Raiders’ request to interview run-game specialist and assistant OL coach Justin Outten for their run-game coordinator job.
Fowler notes that Outten is among four in-house candidates for Seattle’s offensive coordinator job.
Las Vegas is putting together its coaching staff under Klint Kubiak, who left the Seahawks’ OC job to become the Raiders’ head coach.
Outten, 42, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Syracuse back in 2007. From there, he served as the assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Westfield High School in Houston from 2008-15.
Outten got his first NFL opportunity with the Falcons as an offensive intern in 2016. He worked his way up to offensive assistant before joining the Packers in 2019. The Titans hired him in 2023 as an RB coach/run game coordinator.
The Seahawks brought him in as their run-game specialist and assistant offensive line coach in March of last year.
Outten joined the Broncos in 2022 as their offensive coordinator. He left after just one year after HC Nathaniel Hackett was fired and the Titans hired him as a RB coach/run game coordinator.
