'You guys know': Coach confirms move to rival NFL team minutes after Super Bowl win
In the wild world of the NFL, things happen in the blink of an eye quite regularly.
But after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, a major change was confirmed in the team's coaching staff almost immediately.
Seattle proved far too strong for the New England Patriots on Monday (AEDT) in a clinical 29-13 win, making it the second championship in the franchise's history.

As the celebrations began for the players and head coach Mike MacDonald, it was a slightly different story for offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
In his post-game interview, Kubiak was asked about his coaching future and whether he would be remaining with the Seahawks or chasing a top position elsewhere.
"That's up to God, we're just gonna enjoy tonight," he told NFL Network.
But when he was pressed on the issue, Kubiak confirmed he would be joining the Raiders as their new head coach for the 2026/27 season.
"You guys know I'm going to Las Vegas," he said.
"I'm fired up about it ... hell yeah I'm going, of course I'm going."
Las Vegas parted ways with veteran coach Pete Carroll at the end of the season, who funnily enough was Seattle's coach in their only other Super Bowl triumph.
Kubiak has spent more than a decade in various assistant coaching roles across the NFL but will now get an opportunity as a leading man with the Raiders.
It's a great time for Kubiak to head to Sin City, with the team slated for the No.1 overall draft pick where they are expected to land college superstar Fernando Mendoza.
The 38-year-old was an in-demand candidate in this head coach cycle, with the Arizona Cardinals also offering him a job before he settled on the Raiders.
