More progress on the Seahawks’ search for a new offensive coordinator.

The team had Vikings assistant offensive coordinator Grant Udinski in for a second interview today.

He’s the second candidate to be called in for a second interview, along with Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

Meanwhile, CBS’s Jonathan Jones reports that a fifth name has emerged in the hunt.

He says the Seahawks interviewed Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.

Those three names, combined with Detroit offensive line coach Hank Fraley and Chicago interim head coach Thomas Brown make up the five-man field that is currently known.
