According to a Seattle Times report published Monday evening at the conclusion of the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs, the Seattle Seahawks and Ken Norton Jr. will “part ways.”
Norton has been the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator for four years and was previously employed by the Oakland Raiders in the same position for three years.
The report specifically named Clint Hurtt and Ed Donatell as leading candidates on a short list to replace Norton in Seattle. Hurtt is a Seahawks assistant head coach and defensive line coach. Donatell most recently coordinated the Denver Broncos defense from 2019 through 2021.
