The Seattle Seahawks are expected to promote defensive line coach Clint Hurtt to defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
Former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ed Donatell also is expected to join coach Pete Carroll's defensive staff in a senior role, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Hurtt, 43, has been with the Seahawks since 2017 and had since added the title of assistant head coach. He replaces Ken Norton Jr., the long-time Carroll assistant who was fired last month after spending the past four seasons as Seattle's defensive coordinator.
The Seattle Times first reported on Friday that Hurtt was expected to become Seattle's defensive coordinator, a role he has not filled in either college or the NFL.
