Great news! Now make him the DC.
OK let's tap the brakes here a bit for him as DC.........futher check shows he doesn't have a ton of coaching experience (see below). Defensive secondary coach is probably the position for now. In fact, Horton has ton more experience..........still very excited to have Richard on board ( his coaching career below )
Coaching career[edit]
Richard was hired in 2008 by Carroll as a graduate assistant coach for the USC secondary (
defensive backs). He followed Carroll to the NFL and joined his former team, the Seahawks, as secondary coach.
Richard's secondary's hard-hitting style has led it to be nicknamed "the
Legion of Boom."
Bleacher Report described the Legion of Boom's accomplishments as a credit not only to Richard, but to Carroll, who was a safety himself in his playing days and began his coaching career as a secondary coach.

After losing
Super Bowl XLIX, the Seahawks promoted Richard to defensive coordinator to replace
Dan Quinn, who had left to become the head coach for the
Atlanta Falcons.
