Overview
- The Seahawks hired former Washington offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty as an offensive assistant, returning him to a franchise where he coached quarterbacks in 2010.
- Dougherty has 24 years of college experience focused on quarterbacks and the passing game with stops at Missouri, San Diego, San Jose State, UCLA, Arizona and Washington.
- He left Washington’s OC job on February 17 in a move the program did not explain, with JP Losman stepping up to coach quarterbacks.
- The offensive assistant title gives Seattle an experienced voice who can help with player development and step into position or passing-game duties if needed.
- His addition bolsters a retooled Seahawks offense led by new coordinator Brian Fleury after Ryan Grubb’s one-year stint in 2024.
