Report: Seahawks Expected to Add LB Coach Kirk Olivadotti to Coaching Staff

Expected to leave the Green Bay Packers to reunite with coach Mike Macdonald, Kirk Olivadotti will give the Seattle Seahawks a highly experienced assistant with a strong track record coaching linebackers at the NFL level.

"Since signing the dotted line to take over for legendary coach Pete Carroll, Macdonald has prioritized hiring experienced defensive coaches to his staff. Along with Olivadotti reportedly coming to the Pacific Northwest, former Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier signed on as assistant head coach and secondary coach Karl Scott is expected to return after coaching under Carroll the past two seasons."

He’s all over the defense!

He's bringing in his people. I like it.

EXACTLY, brother. This is what a new coach should do. And he's keeping his ties, he brought in Frazier who has been a mentor to him. I honestly think that Frazier was a HUGE get for this team. He's been a head coach; he can help Macdonald to learn what he doesn't know. Macdonald comes off to me as a guy who wants to always learn, always get better and wants to sponge off people who have been there, done that.

I like this move as well. The D is going to need a few pieces as the changes are put in place but many are already there.

And I couldn't be happier! The last several years has been PAINFUL.

Excited to see what kind of defense roster churn takes place. There's a bunch of names that I will NOT be missing.

I just got off the phone with my brother who informed me that he knows Kirk because they were both on the same football squad in college. Purdue Boilermakers. My brother(starting LT)only played with him for one season(1995)before transferring to a Division 2 college to finish his schooling and football career.

I still will never understand that move by my brother. I mean he finished his schooling but didn’t get drafted. Well, duh-you walked out on your scholarship big boy. That will screw anyone over for drafting purposes. Tons of talent but major ego problems. He liked being the star and hated being scolded. He was 6’7” with 4.9 speed but major attitude issues.

So many NFL careers that either never got off the ground or were cut short because it takes both the physical AND the mental. When I say mental I don't just mean intelligence but also attitude.

This. I knew guys in the military who were intelligent and strong but were just too immature to put it all together so they left the service. It takes an uncommon young man to have all of the pieces at that age and be able to go somewhere with it.

Cool about your brother but I kept reading this thinking you were going to give some inside knowledge on if he's a quality dude/hire.

We didn’t get that far in our conversation because he got a phone call from work. I’m sure I’ll hear more from him soon.

Very true. My brother did grow up a lot. Finished his schooling and is banking six figures now. He was always intelligent but his attitude when young cost him his chance to play professionally which in hindsight he’s glad for because of the toll it took on his body.

You knew guys who were intelligent and left?
