“With Brian Schneider departing for Jacksonville, the #Seahawks are expected to promote Larry Izzo to replace Schneider as special teams coordinator, per source,” Pelissero tweeted on Friday.
Izzo had filled in during the 2020 season when Schnieder had taken a leave of absence for personal reasons.
