Veteran NFL coach Leslie Frazier expected to join Seahawks staff, AP sources say
Two people with knowledge of the hire say veteran NFL coach Leslie Frazier is expected to join the Seattle Seahawks as an associate head coach
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Veteran NFL coach Leslie Frazier is expected to join the Seattle Seahawks as an associate head coach, two people with knowledge of the hire told The Associated Press on Friday.
Frazier is the first big addition for new coach Mike Macdonald. The move pairs the youngest head coach in the NFL with Frazier, who has experience as an assistant and head coach in the league.
The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the hire has not been announced by the team. NFL Network first reported the move.
Frazier, 64, spent last season out of the NFL following a stint from 2017-22 when he was the defensive coordinator in Buffalo. Frazier has more than two decades of experience coaching in the NFL, first breaking into the league with Philadelphia back in 1999. Frazier also was a defensive coordinator in Cincinnati, Minnesota and Tampa Bay.
