SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire Jay Harbaugh as their special teams coordinator under head coach Mike Macdonald, a source confirmed to ESPN on Monday.

Harbaugh, 34, served in that role for the past five seasons at the University of Michigan under his father, Jim Harbaugh. A report from the Ann Arbor News last week stated that the younger Harbaugh was set to follow his father to Los Angeles to coach on the Chargers' staff, but he will instead reunite with Macdonald in Seattle.

Macdonald and Harbaugh have coached together for two seasons, first on the Baltimore Ravens' staff in 2014 and then at U-M in 2021, when Macdonald was the Wolverines' defensive coordinator.
