Source: Seattle Seahawks plan to hire Los Angeles Rams' Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator

SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks are planning to hire Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Shane Waldron as their new offensive coordinator, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Waldron has not called plays in any of his seven seasons as an NFL assistant. He spent the past four campaigns with the Rams, having followed coach Sean McVay to Los Angeles from the Washington Football Team.

"He's a phenomenal coach," McVay said of Waldron in 2018, according to The Detroit News. "He's a great communicator. He's got a rare ability to authentically and genuinely connect with not only coaches but the players and be able to correct in a manner that doesn't make guys' guards come up.
