Seahawks add Jethro Franklin, Larry Izzo to revamped coaching staff

The Seattle Seahawks announced more changes to Pete Carroll's revamped coaching staff Friday, making official several moves that had previously been reported.

The one move that had yet to be reported is the addition of Steve Shimko as offensive assistant. The other two additions are Jethro Franklin as assistant defensive line coach and Larry Izzo as assistant special-teams coach. Franklin replaces Dwaine Board while Izzo takes over for Heath Farwell, who left to take the same position on the Panthers' staff.

Three returning Seahawks coaches will have new roles. Dave Canales moves from wide receivers coach to quarterbacks coach, replacing Carl Smith, who will remain on staff as associate head coach.
