Where's all the guys that said bringing in Norton meant saleh was on a short leash?? SF could have denied the move, but they didn't.

I actually like the hire by Seattle. I didn't follow too much about him but I guess he sucked as a DC so dilly dilly!!

Agree

IMO, he'd have been a good influence on Foster.

If he was so awesome - the Raiders wouldn't have let him go.

Never liked the hire in first place.

Question? Did he get 9ers playbook and upload it to his personal cloud to give to Carroll?


Seriously doubt that.

Although you know Pete asked Ken if he could get a copy. LOL Dirty b*****d

Haah

Yeah it would suck to go to a team with such high expectations on defense when they are looking to be on a downward swing. Won't help his reputation as a D coordinator grow if they're s**t

Remember when their arrogant bandwagoning fans acted like they were an absolute lock to be the greatest dynasty in the history of anything?

Thank God for Malcolm Butler.
After the personality issues they've had the past couple of seasons (e.g. Wagner, Earl, Kam) they probably need a rah-rah guy just to command the defense.

Seahawks hired Ken Norton as defensive coordinator.

Norton coached the Seahawks' linebackers from 2010-2014 and is a "comfortable" hire, reuniting with Pete Carroll. He signed a deal on January 8 to work as the 49ers' assistant head coach/linebackers, but Norton can break that contract for a higher-up position. Norton coordinated abominable defenses in Oakland the past two years. After his firing this past season, the Raiders' defense played better down the stretch under John Pagano. Both of Seattle's coordinator hires -- including OC Brian Schottenheimer -- have been thoroughly uninspiring.



Nailed it!
I wonder who Kyle has in mind to replace him. It's a pretty good idea to have a defensive minded guy like that as the Asst. HC. to oversee the defense to free Shanny up of other coaching duties so he can concentrate on a killer offense.

Yep....it just shows that they hadn't ever been good for more than 3-4 years. They were so sure.
