The Seahawks are hiring former UW strength and conditioning coach Ivan Lewis as their new strength and conditioning coach replacing the fired Chris Carlisle, according to a report Tuesday night from Rivals.com.
Lewis has familiarity with Pete Carroll, having worked at USC from 2006-08 as an assistant under Carlisle. He then followed Steve Sarkisian from USC to UW to take over as the head of the Huskies’ strength and conditioning program for five years before returning to USC when Sarkisian got the head coaching job there. Lewis remained at USC after Sarkisian was fired and has worked there the past five seasons.
