Beginning the process of finding a replacement for Ryan Grubb, the Seahawks will turn to a pair of candidates from the NFC North division.

First-year Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald was dissatisfied with his team’s lack of balance on offense, and that cost offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb his job.

It just so happened that the word came out about the move shortly before Seahawks players cleaned out their lockers for the season. The annual end-of-the-season cleanup is the last chance for local reporters to catch up with players at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
