Jedd Fisch will join the Seahawks coaching staff now as QB coach.
Among the coaching changes so far:
LB coach Ken Norton Jr. taking over for Zerrick Rollins.
-Rollins had been with the Seahawks at his position since 2005 when Ray Rhodes suffered his stroke.
Offensive Coordinator Jeremy Bates will replace Greg Knapp.
-Knapp spent one-year with the Seahawks as offensive coordinator joining Mora's staff after working with him in Atlanta.
Fisch will replace Bill Lazor as QB coach.
-Lazor took over after Jim Zorn left for Washington two-years ago.
OL Coach Alex Gibbs will replace Mike Solari (so far no official announcement on this).
-Solari came over from Kansis City two-years ago, while Gibbs is the mastermind behind the zone-blocking scheme.
Special Teams coach will be Brian Schneider from USC he will replace Bruce DeHaven.
-DeHaven had been the Seahawks special teams coach the past two-years and improved Jon Ryan and Olindo Mare throughout that time. Ryan was signed to an extension last week, while Mare was the only Seahawk to recieve a vote for the NFLs All-Pro award. Both are alternatives for the Pro Bowl.
Wide Receivers will be coached by Kippy Brown as he replaces Robert Prince.
-Brown was named interm coach after Lane Kiffin left to replace Carroll at USC. He has 17-years of experience as a coach in the NFL and that is a major upgrade over Prince.
Ex-Redskin Jerry Gray will be the Seahawks DB taking over for Will Lewis.
-Gray was considerded for the head coaching position by the Redskins to comply with the Rooney Rules. Instead they hired Mike Shanahan and then named Jim Hastlett as Defensive coordinator. Instead of returning as DB coach he has decided to come to Seattle at the same position.
Ex-Bronco TE coach Pat McPherson will replace Mike DeBord.
-McPherson worked with Bates in Denver and helped in the development of Tony Scheffler. He had been with the Broncos since 1998.
Rams assistant OL coach and Running game coordinator Joe Valero has joined the staff.
-He's worked with both Bates and Gibbs before. Gibbs has always had an assistant OL coach with him so he's familiar with Valero. Valero was the running game coordinator for Cadillac Williams Rookie of the Year and during the Broncos successful running days.
Kris Richard will also be leaving USC to join Carroll's staff in Seattle as assistant defensive backs coach.
-He played for the Seahawks from 2002-04 and had spent the past two-years on Carroll's staff as a graduate assistant.
Strength-and-conditioning coaches will be Jamie Yancar.
Coaches Staying so far:
Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will return for his second season in charge of the defense. He will most likely work with Pete Carroll in responsibilities. Former Buc LB Derrick Brooks who Bradley coached in Tampa Bay told NFL Sirius radio that today.
Defensive line coach Dan Quinn also will be retained according to Seattle Times.
Jobs still open (doesn't mean the current coordinators won't be retained just no announcement on that):
RB
I will keep this updated as more coaching changes are made or announced. Here's how we stand so far on Friday, Jan. 15, 2010.
