After Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was hired as the new head coach of the Jaguars, the Seahawks moved quickly to replace him.

The Seahawks have announced that Dan Quinn is their new defensive coordinator.

Quinn was the defensive coordinator at Florida for the last two years and had coached the defensive line in Seattle for two years before that. He’s also been a defensive line coach with the Jets, Dolphins and 49ers.

Quinn is well regarded in NFL circles and was mentioned as a candidate to become the defensive coordinator of the Browns, Eagles or Jaguars as well.
