Clint Hurtt: Promoted to DC for the Seattle Seahawks

[The Svengali]

He never called plays, and yes, we all know he wouldn’t have been not nearly good enough to be the DC for the Miami hurricanes, because he lacks experience, but congrats on becoming the new DC in the NFL for the Seahawks. That’s a good consolation prize.

Always good to see former Canes in coaching positions in the best league. It’s good for the brand.

Sources: Seahawks expected to tab Hurtt as DC

The Seahawks are expected to promote Clint Hurtt to defensive coordinator and add Ed Donatell to the coaching staff in a senior role, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Can't believe some of you ninjaz had Dorito >> Hurtt tho

 

[Milkcane]

But he's not good enough for the geniuses here. lmao
Congrats to him.

 

[Travis Bickle]

Congrats to Hurtt. Thank the stars I'm not a Seahawks fan.

Congrats to Hurtt. Thank the stars I'm not a Seahawks fan.

****, son.

 

[Travis Bickle]

****, son.

Seahawks fans are probably saying much worse things right now…

Congrats to him.

Amazing how Hurtt and Dorsey weren't "good enough" for some on this board to be a Coordinator here, but the NFL happily thinks so

Congrats to him, hope he cuts his teeth in NFL to earn ability to coach at UM someday.. Him and Dorsey have to start somewhere before they can even interview with us..

 

[Milkcane]

****, son.

lol, right. Clint has no say in who they pick. He just has to coach the bums they give him.

Congrats to both him and Dorsey, but to those saying “good enough for the NFL but not UM”, keep in mind they’re pretty much staying where they are to keep the previous system in place.

Both seem deserving, but regardless of UM not being a professional team, it’s still a lot different to maintain a system in place versus bringing a philosophy and installing it in a different organization.

There’s also the layer of recruiting. It’s entirely possible that they were qualified for the promotions they got, but did not fit the criteria to be a coordinator at UM.

Oh boy, I never saw THAT. Did someone actually go there? I don't care how good or bad Hurtt is, no one will continuously make me kick my neighbor's dog like Dorito.

thats too nuanced for a message board. You may need to delete this asap.

Hurt would’ve kept Shemar Stewart home too

 

[BrandCanes]

All the dudes moping about Dorsey and Hurtt ….receipts please

 

[BigDikCane]

I doubt that.. Matthew THomas was in the same situation..

 

[Donny Donowitz]

I was pushing the hurtt train months ago and got roasted for it.

That being said I love the steele hiring so im happy it worked out for all parties involved.

If Dorsey and Hurtt really were candidates for us, we need to trust Mario's judgement going forward. There was a lot of skepticism for both of those candidates by our fanbase, and they were NFL caliber coordinators...

 

[The Svengali]

After 3 - 4 years as a successful DC for Seattle, Hurtt should be solid enough to land an interview with the Canes.

 

[OldhamA]

God****, no wonder Wilson is looking to get traded.

 

[DMoney]

Hurtt has made a really nice career for himself. Didn’t like him as our DL coach but he has gone straight up from there.

Congrats to two Canes at the highest level.
