Seahawks expected to hire Leslie Frazier as assistant head coach

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire Leslie Frazier to be an assistant head coach for new head coach Mike Macdonald, a source confirmed to FOX 13 Seattle on Friday.

Frazier, 64, spent parts of four seasons as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2010-13, and was most recently the defensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills under head coach Sean McDermott from 2017-22. The Bills gave Frazier the title of assistant head coach in 2020.The addition of Frazier gives Macdonald a veteran coach to help him navigate his first job as a head coach in the NFL. The move feels reminiscent of when the Los Angeles Rams hired a 69-year-old Wade Philipps as defensive coordinator to help a then 30-year-old Sean McVay adjust to being a head coach.

Like McVay in 2017, Macdonald, 36, is now the youngest head coach in the NFL with his hire by Seattle.

Frazier and Macdonald coached together on the staff of the Baltimore Ravens for one season in 2016. Frazier was the team’s secondary coach while Macdonald was a defensive assistant.
