The Seattle Seahawks hired Leslie Frazier as their assistant head coach on Friday, according to sources. The former Minnesota Vikings head coach has long been a mentor to new Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald and will now join his staff in Seattle. MacDonald is the youngest head coach in the NFL after leading the Baltimore Ravens' defense each of the last two years. Frazier, 64, has coached with seven different NFL teams. He got his start as an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999 and coached with the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals before being named the head coach of the Vikings in 2011. He most recently served as the Buffalo Bills' defensive coordinator but was let go last offseason. Frazier interviewed for the Miami Dolphins' defensive-coordinator job and Los Angeles Chargers' head-coaching job before joining the Seahawks.
