The Seattle Seahawks are set to lose one more offensive assistant coach to Klint Kubiak’s Las Vegas Raiders staff.
CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported on Monday evening that run game coordinator Rick Dennison is expected to leave Seattle for Vegas in an undisclosed role. Dennison has not only worked with Klint in prior stops with the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings, he was a longtime assistant under Gary Kubiak and a teammate of his when they played for the Denver Broncos.
Dennison was hired by the Seahawks last season, working as a run game coordinator for the first time since the 2019 and 2020 seasons in Minnesota.

Seattle is poised to keep most of its coaching staff from 2025, most notably offensive line coach John Benton and defensive backs coach Karl Scott. The only departures thus far are Kubiak (obviously) to the Raiders as head coach, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko as Klint’s offensive coordinator, and now Dennison in a TBD role (if not some sort of advisory position). It’s unlikely we’ll see many more depart, whether it’s the Raiders or anyone else in the NFL. If Seattle wants to directly replace Dennison as a run game coordinator, Justin Outten could perhaps get a promotion from “specialist” to coordinator outright.
Best wishes to Rick after picking up the fourth Super Bowl of his coaching career.
