Robbie Picazo joined the Seahawks staff on March 15, 2023, as an offensive assistant following one season with the Houston Texans in the same capacity.
He brings 10 years of coaching experience, with nine coming at the collegiate level; 2018-21 at Rice University and 2013-17 at Stanford.
In his second season leading Rice's running backs in 2021, Picazo helped sixth-year senior Jordan Myers earn honorable mention All-Conference USA honors after leading the team with nine total touchdowns and rank second with 646 all-purpose yards. Myers led the Owls with eight rushing scores and recorded 338 rushing yards on the year,). Former walk-on RB Ari Broussard added 569 yards on 116 carries, including a career-high 186 yards at Charlotte (11/6) that marked the program's second-highest total in conference play since joining C-USA in 2005.
Picazo came to Rice after five seasons (2013-17) at Stanford, first as a student assistant (2013) while completing his co-term degree program and four years (2014-17) as an offensive assistant, working with quarterbacks and wide receivers. Picazo supported the daily operations of the offense as the Cardinal won two Pac-12 titles (2013 and 2015) and appeared in five consecutive bowl games.
While coaching at Stanford in 2017, Picazo participated in a Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship with the Atlanta Falcons during the team's mandatory spring minicamp.
Picazo earned a bachelor's degree in management, science and engineering in 2013 and a master's degree in psychology in 2014. He played quarterback for the Cardinal from 2009-12, appearing in four games.
A native of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Picazo's wife, Kaitlyn, was a three-time national champion in water polo at Stanford.
