Jake Peetz enters his first season as offensive passing game coordinator/quarterbacks after spending two seasons as offensive passing Game coordinator (2024-25). Peetz joined the Seahawks coaching staff on February 22, 2024, following two seasons with the L.A. Rams. Peetz enters his 15th season in the NFL and 12th in the coaching ranks.

Last season, Peetz helped guide one of the NFL's most efficient and explosive passing attacks, led by QB Sam Darnold, who earned Pro Bowl honors for the second-consecutive season. Darnold finished the regular season with a 99.1 passer rating (8th in the NFL), a career‑high 67.7 completion percentage (5th in the NFL), and 4,048 passing yards (5th in the NFL). Darnold became the fourth QB ever to win the Super Bowl in his first season with a team. Peetz also played a key role in Jaxon Smith‑Njigba's record-setting season, who became just the second player in franchise history to be named AP Offensive Player of the Year, earn unanimous first‑team AP All‑Pro honors and receive a Pro Bowl selection, after setting franchise records with 119 receptions and an NFL‑leading 1,793 receiving yards, the eighth‑most in league history.

In 2024, Peetz oversaw a Seattle passing game that included Geno Smith's single-season franchise records for attempts (578, 4th NFL), completions (407, T2nd NFL), yards (4,320 4th NFL), and completion percentage (70.42, 5th NFL). He became the 20th quarterback in NFL history with a 70% completion percentage in a season. Peetz helped the growth of WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who became the eighth player in NFL history with 150 receptions, 1,700 yards, and 10 touchdowns before his 23rd birthday. He tied a franchise record with 100 receptions and became the 10th player in franchise history with 1,000 receiving yards in a season. DK Metcalf finished with 66 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns, joining Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history with 50 catches, 900 yards, and five touchdowns in each of their first six seasons.

Peetz aided the 2023 Rams passing attack that saw QB Matthew Stafford throw for nearly 4,000 yards and helped rookie WR Puka Nacua to a second-team AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl season. Nacua finished fourth in the NFL in receiving yards (1,486), ninth in receptions (105), and added five touchdowns. His receptions and receiving yards both set NFL rookie records, and he finished the season being named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for December/January.

In his first year with the Rams, Peetz provided general support for McVay on the offensive side of the ball and handled game management. With the help of Peetz, the Rams' offense finished the season with the best fourth-down conversion rate in the NFL, converting 15 of 19 fourth-down attempts after finishing 17th in this category in 2021. Peetz also played an instrumental role in onboarding the midseason acquisition of QB Baker Mayfield. He has also worked with Teddy Bridgewater (Panthers), Cam Newton (Panthers), Derek Carr (Raiders), Kirk Cousins (Commanders), Chad Henne (Jaguars), Blaine Gabbert (Jaguars), Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama), Jalen Hurts (Alabama) and Mac Jones (Alabama).

During his time as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at LSU in 2021, Peetz helped guide the Tigers to the No. 5 passing offense in the SEC. QB Max Johnson finished seventh in the conference with 2,815 passing yards, fifth in touchdown passes (27) and tallied the fifth-fewest interceptions (6). Johnson did not play in the team's bowl game appearance, and Peetz helped senior wide receiver Jontre Kirklin move to quarterback and throw for three touchdowns, which tied for the third-most in a bowl game for the Tigers.

In 2020, Peetz took over as quarterbacks coach for Carolina and helped QB Teddy Bridgewater achieve career highs in passing yards (3,733) and completion percentage (69.1).

In 2019, Peetz coached the running backs for the Panthers when Christian McCaffrey put together a record-breaking season. McCaffrey led the NFL in scrimmage yards (2,392) that season and became just the third player in NFL history with over 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. He also set the NFL record for receptions by a running back with 116 in 2019, becoming only the second player in league history with 1,000 rushing yards and 100 receptions in the same season.

NFL stops for Peetz include the Oakland Raiders (2015-17), Washington Commanders (2014) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2012). Peetz spent the 2013 and 2018 seasons as an offensive analyst with the University of Alabama. He also coached at Santa Barbara City College in 2006 and at UCLA in 2007. He was a scout for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2008-11 before moving to an on-field coaching position with the franchise in 2012.

Peetz coached quarterbacks in his final two seasons in Oakland (2016-17), serving as assistant quarterback coach in 2016 and quarterbacks coach in 2017. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr earned two of his three consecutive Pro Bowl selections working with Peetz. He originally joined the team as a senior offensive assistant in 2015, working primarily with the running backs. He helped Latavious Murray earn Pro Bowl honors after rushing for 1,066 yards and six touchdowns, the first 1,000-yard rushing season by a Raider since 2010.

Peetz spent one year with Washington as the offensive quality control/assistant wide receivers coach in 2014. In his one season working with Peetz, receiver DeSean Jackson led the NFL with an average of 20.9 yards per reception and led the team with 1,169 receiving yards.

Peetz played defensive back and long snapper at Nebraska from 2003-05. While at Nebraska, he was twice named to the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team for his extensive community outreach work. He graduated from Nebraska in exercise science in December of 2005.

Peetz and his wife Maggie have eight children; Gianna, Julia, John Robert, Emma, William, George, Andrew, and Ella Grace.
