The reasoning behind the Seahawks recent coaching staff shakeup appeared simple: The staff had gotten stagnant. A regeneration –unfamiliar voices offering different perspectives – was in order.
Brian Schottenheimer, Darrell Bevell’s successor as offensive coordinator, brings 21 seasons of coaching experience to Seattle. Mike Solari, the offensive line coach who’ll replace Tom Cable, is a 32-year veteran. Ken Norton Jr., the new defensive coordinator, is the pup of the crew, with a mere 11 seasons on his resume.
Schottenheimer, Solari and Norton have combined to work for 30 teams over 64 years.
So much for regeneration.
