Just days after joining 49ers, former Raiders DC Ken Norton Jr to take same position in return to Seattle

What a whirlwind last few months for Ken Norton Jr. Despite poor results as the Defensive Coordinator in Oakland, he’s expected to be getting the same position in Seattle, according to Mike Garafolo. And it’s happening just days after having accepted the job of Assistant Head Coach/LB coach for the 49ers.

With Kris Richard likely out, the Seahawks are expected to turn to Ken Norton Jr as defensive coordinator, sources say. All indications are he’ll be back in Seattle, where he was the team’s LB coach from 2010-14.

It was this time last year that there were serious questions of whether he would be fired as Raiders DC after two lackluster seasons.
