Seahawks promote Clint Hurtt to defensive coordinator

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks finalized their coaching staff on Tuesday with the promotion of Clint Hurtt to defensive coordinator and the hiring of Karl Scott and Sean Desai to the defensive staff.

Hurtt has spent the past five seasons as the defensive line coach for Seattle. He replaces Ken Norton Jr., who was fired after last season.

Desai joins Seattle as the associate head coach-defense after spending last season as the defensive coordinator in Chicago. Scott will be Seattle’s defensive passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach.

“It’s great to get everybody in the building for the first time together with our new staff and the new outlook that we have for the season,” coach Pete Carroll said in a statement.
