The 49ers lost their assistant head coach and linebackers coach just a week after hiring him. Ken Norton Jr was hired last week, but he is leaving the team to take the vacant defensive coordinator position with the Seattle Seahawks. Ken was with the Seahawks for 5 years as a linebacker coach before taking the defensive coordinator spot in 2015. He was fired by the Raiders in November.
Ken Norton Jr was brought in because he had worked with Robert Saleh in Seattle, but also to help mentor Reuben Foster. Reuben was arrested last week in Alabama for marijuana possession.
