The Seattle Seahawks coaching shakeup has already begun as we head into the 2020 season.
Steve Shimko, who was an offensive assistant in 2018 and assistant quarterbacks coach last year, has been hired by Boston College to be their tight end coach. The move was announced by Boston College on Friday.
Shimko spent two years with the Seahawks, coming over after a successful stint as the offensive coordinator at Garden City Community College.
He also has successful stints at the University of Georgia (alongside Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer) and Western Michigan.
Shimko was a quarterback at Rutgers from 2009-2012, but his career was cut short due to injury and he began his path into coaching as a graduate assistant shortly after that.
The Seahawks may lose another coach, Brennan Carroll – Pete Carroll’s son – to Hawaii, as they look the reshape some of their ranks following an 11-5 season and a heartbreaking exit in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs in 2019.
