The Seattle Seahawks announced they’ve hired Justin Outten as their new run-game coordinator on Thursday. Outten is the latest addition to new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s staff, joining other new hires such as John Benton, Andrew Janocko and Michael Byrne. Firstly, he’s another familiar face, reuniting with Kubiak.

Klint Kubiak had his introductory press conference as the Seahawks new offensive coordinator, here are four things to know:

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll entered the offseason intent on reviving the team's stagnant run game. The first step was a change at offensive coordinator, with Brian Schottenheimer taking over for Darrell Bevell.

Kubiak touted Smith's toughness and ability in the clutch, and he has a plan for freeing up DK Metcalf more often.

New Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak called quarterback Geno Smith “a huge draw" for taking the job and expressed his commitment to the running game in an introductory press conference on Tuesday.

New OC Klint Kubiak said Seattle's offensive identity will be running the ball -- something the fired Ryan Grubb didn't do as often or as well as coach Mike Macdonald wanted -- but that they have to be able to win in more than one way.

Two former offensive coordinators are joining Klint Kubiak in Seattle. The Seahawks are adding Justin Outten to their coaching staff, and Rick Dennison is believed to be joining him.
