In his first major hire as head coach, Jim Mora tabs Greg Knapp as Seattle's new offensive coordinator. The move was first reported by the NFL Network, and later confirmed by team sources. Knapp worked as Mora's offensive coordinator in Atlanta, and it's been speculated he would be Mora's offensive guy for awhile now.

Matt Hasselbeck and the rest of Seattle's offense will have a new system to learn during the offseason, and it will be interesting to see how the players pick up the new scheme. It's been speculated that Seattle will run the ball more in 2009, and that seems to be Knapp's style from his time in Atlanta and Oakland.

The Falcons led the NFL in rushing in 2005, averaging 159.1 yards a contest with a 1,000-yard rusher and three Pro Bowlers on offense.

However, Oakland head coach Tom Cable did take away the play-calling duties from Knapp during the season while Knapp was with the Raiders, so it will be interesting to see how that shakes out in Seattle, although I would expect Knapp to be the guy calling the plays.

There still has been no word as to the status of former offensive coordinator Gil Haskell, along with defensive coordinator John Marshall or the rest of the coaching staff left over from last season. Haskell has been rumored to be retiring. However, that has not been confirmed, and we should know more about the future of the rest of the staff by late this week early next week.

Also, Mora will address the media on Tuesday
