He began his coaching career with the dominant Miami Hurricane teams of the early 2000s who were churning out 1st round DL's every year. He was also the DL coach for Charlie Strong at Louisville when the Cardinals led the nation in Total Defense in 2013, and he developed Marcus Smith - a converted QB (!) - into a 1st round pick of the Eagles as a DE. He then went to the NFL with the Bears, and spent the past 2 seasons apprenticing under Vic Fangio - inarguably one of the greatest DC's and teachers of LB's in NFL history. Hurtt was also a great recruiter in college, which should come in handy during free agency visits. Not sure what this means for Travis Jones and Dwaine Board, but perhaps Board is moving on or retiring, with Hurtt to focus on the DE's and Jones on the DT's (just speculating there).
Regardless, great GREAT hire for Seattle.

After five straight double-digit-win seasons?
I can attest that you're 100% correct on that. The next time Sherm or anyone else decides to take on one of the coaches they better go looking for Chad Morton or Nate Carroll or Carl Smith, because I guarantee you they're going to want absolutely NO part of Clint Hurtt.lukerguy":22cwlsoy said:After Sherm and others given push back to coaches...this coach looks like he could do some pushing back of his own..lol
