British-born coach leading Seahawks defense

As the Seahawks continue to work on installing a brand new offense and defense, they’ll also breaking ground in the coaching ranks…

Aden Durde was hired by Mike Macdonald as Seattle’s new defensive coordinator this offseason. He’s the first-ever British-born person to be hired by an NFL team to a coordinating position. He played in NFL Europe as a linebacker and served as Dallas’ defensive line coach for two seasons before coming to Seattle.

His focus is on installing his new defense and getting his players used to being in the right place at the right time…

Durde and the Seahawks will try to improve a defense that has languished towards the bottom of the NFL in the past several seasons.
