Seahawks expected to hire Larry Izzo as an assistant special teams coach

The Seahawks appear to have filled one more of the vacancies on their coaching staff with the expected hiring of Larry Izzo as an assistant special teams coach.

The news was first reported by The Sporting News and it has since been confirmed that it is expected to happen.

Izzo takes the place of Heath Farwell, who left last week to take a similar position with the Carolina Panthers. Izzo will assist Seahawks special teams coach Brian Schneider, who has been with the team since Pete Carroll arrived in 2010.

Izzo ran Houston’s special teams the past two seasons but was fired after the season.
