Seahawks working on hiring Jay Harbaugh (ST Coordinator)

Larry Izzo was the one guy I thought they would keep on from Pete's coaching staff. He did an excellent job with ST.

Can anyone say a little bit about him? I only have wikipedia.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Not surprising that Jim's own kids would want to work for someone else.

To all the guys who wanted Jim Harbaugh...

I'm with @hawkfan68.
Seahawks special teams were pretty good the last couple of seasons. I don't get why they let Izzo go.

I'm more than fine with Waldron and especially Hurtt being gone, but it seems to me the chance of getting somebody who will be as good as Izzo is not that good.

I think this move is all about coaching ties and philosophy. Macdonald has never worked with Izzo. If he brings in Jay Harbaugh, this is all about who he knows and who he trusts. Chemistry, synergy, whatever you want to call it.

Same here.

He turned down the same job with Hairball and the Chargers. Hero status in my eyes.

Did you know that Jim Harbaugh is also related to the late Screech from Saved by the Bell?

(Cringe warning!)

Can anyone be a coach in the NFL if your dad hasn't isn't a coach it's just so weird the nepotism is just off the charts

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well, maybe they're actually good at their jobs? Learning from very good coaches is a good thing.

My cousin is a teacher, her mother & father were teachers, 3 of her grandparents were teachers. Damn nepotism!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

They only got those jobs because of their relatives!!!!!

 

[renofox]

Many children choose the same career path as their parents. It's not nepotism if they're qualified.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. Someone following in the steps of someone they look up to. Seems like a really good thing.

Unless perhaps your father was perhaps Hitler..I think in that case it would be ok to come up with a different career path
