Another sleeper could enter the Seattle Seahawks coaching search for an offensive coordinator by the end of this week – Boston College head coach Jeff Jagodzinski.

The Boston Herald is reporting Jagodinski interviewed for the New York Jets head coaching positions today, against the wishes of B.C. athletic director Gene DeFilippo, and will likely be fired from his head coaching gig with the Eagles.

How does this relate to the Seahawks? Jagodinski is a long shot to win the job with the Jets, but reportedly wants back in the NFL and has ties to both Matt Hasselbeck and Jim Mora. Jagodinski coached Hasselbeck during his first stint at Boston College, serving as the offensive coordinator. And he also worked as a tight ends coach and offensive line coach for Mora when he coached at Atlanta.

The NFL network is reporting that the Seahawks have asked for permission to talk to New England special teams coach Brad Seely.

Seely joined the Patriots as special teams coach in 1999 and has won three Super Bowls with the team.

Seattle's interest in Seely perhaps signals the end of special teams coach Bruce DeHaven's tenure with the Seahawks. After a shaky start against Buffalo, Seattle's special teams actually performed well during the later stages of the season, with Josh Wilson doing a solid job in returns and Olindo Mare having a solid year in both kickoffs and field goal percentage. I'm not sure if Jim Mora is dissatisfied with DeHaven's performance or just looking for a better personality fit.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Chicago Bears have made Rod Marinelli an offer to coach the defensive line. Marinelli interviewed with head coach Lovie Smith on Friday, and was in Seattle to discuss the defensive coordinator position on Monday.

Some questions have been piling up over the last few days so I thought I would take some time this morning to attempt to answer some of them.

Q: Hawks51 asks what I think of the Seahawks taking Taylor Mays with the 4th pick, or is that too early for him to go?

A: I think Mays is a great athlete and will be a high-impact player at the next level. But taking him No. 4 is probably too high, and I think Seattle has more pressing needs on both offensive and defensive line and at receiver.

Seattle could trade down to 10 or 11 and grab Mays, which would be a great place to get him. He could certainly help Seattle’s defense with his range and ability to come up and deliver blows in the running game. But if Seattle were to trade down someone like defensive tackle like Boston College’s B.J. Raji might make more sense.
