The changes to the Seattle Seahawks coaching staff continued Monday, with the team expected to hire Ken Norton Jr. as its defensive coordinator and Mike Solari as its offensive line coach, sources tell ESPN.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Norton is replacing Kris Richard, who isn't expected to return to Seattle after serving on the team's coaching staff for the past eight seasons, including the last three as defensive coordinator. Earlier reports indicated that Richard wasn't expected to return.
The San Francisco 49ers hired Norton last week but the team released a statement from head coach Kyle Shanahan Monday stating that it was allowing Norton to leave for an unspecified coordinator job elsewhere.
