Seahawks officially name Schottenheimer OC, Norton DC

The Seattle Seahawks officially named Brian Schottenheimer offensive coordinator and Ken Norton Jr. defensive coordinator Tuesday.

Schottenheimer previously served as quarterbacks coach for the Indianapolis Colts (2016-17) and has experience as the offensive coordinator of the New York Jets (2006-11) and the St. Louis Rams (2012-14).

The 44-year-old replaces Darrell Bevell, who was fired after serving as Seahawks offensive coordinator since January 2011.

Norton was most recently the defensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders. The veteran coach was hired as assistant head coach of the San Francisco 49ers on Jan. 8, but left his position to join the Seahawks.

This is Norton's second stint with the Seahawks. He was Seattle's linebackers coach from 2010-14 before accepting the Raiders job.

Norton replaces Kris Richard, who served as defensive coordinator from 2015-17.
