Ken Norton Jr. is gone. The Seattle Seahawks are on the prowl for a new defensive coordinator. A new leaf will be turned over on at least one side of the ball for the 2022 season.
As we take a look back on Norton’s four seasons as the Seahawks DC, it is undoubtedly a mixed bag. There are some positives to take away, but there was probably a little bit more bad than good.
Starting off both 2020 and 2021 at a catastrophic pace on defense is certainly a footnote (the Seahawks pass defense ranked 32nd in the league by far through most of the first half of both seasons before turning things around).
