Replacing Pete Carroll was never going to be easy. After 139 regular season wins over 14 seasons, two Super Bowl appearances and a World Championship, the coach that follows Carroll will have his work cut out for him.

Along with a slew of other candidates, the Seahawks have reportedly turned their attention to Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. The Texans are in the middle of a surprising playoff run after winning the AFC South at the end of a surprising resurgent season.

Slowik has drawn attention from other teams and Atlanta, Carolina, Tennessee and Washington have all reportedly requested interview time with the first-year offensive coordinator.

His success this season with rookie quarterback phenom C.J. Stroud has turned heads and enhanced Slowik's coaching status. With the Texans preparing for their Divisional round matchup with the Ravens in Baltimore on Saturday, Slowik is allowed virtual interviews only.

Slowik, 36, has spent time in the NFL as a coach since becoming a defensive assistant with the Washington franchise in 2011 under Mike Shanahan alongside Kyle Shanahan. He moved to the 49ers in 2017 as a defensive quality control coach before switching over to offense in 2019 as an offensive assistant.

Slowik cut his coaching teeth under Kyle Shanahan who promoted Slowik to offensive passing game coordinator in 2022. Slowik accepted the offensive coordinator position with the Texans when fellow 49ers coaching alum DeMeco Ryans accepted the head coaching job in Houston.
