Marshall welcomes the task of forming a retooled linebacking group that includes unrestricted free agent Jamie Sharper.
Marshall joined the Seahawks after one season as an assistant defensive line coach for the Detroit Lions in 2002.
Before Detroit, Marshall spent three seasons (1999-01) as the assistant head coach/defensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers. His defense ranked fourth in the NFL with 105 takeaways over his three-year tenure.
Prior to Carolina, Marshall, 58, was part of two Super Bowl squads in San Francisco from 1989-97 working with the defensive line from 1989-93, linebackers from 1994-96 and two years as defensive coordinator from 1997-98.
As defensive coordinator in 1997, he spearheaded the NFL’s top-rated defense, second versus the rush and pass, while helping send five players to the Pro Bowl. Marshall coached nearly a decade in the NFL before going to San Francisco, starting as Green Bay Packers’ special teams coach in 1980 and taking over as linebackers coach in 1981. He served as defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons from 1983-85 and coached the defensive line of the Indianapolis Colts from 1986-88.
Marshall’s coaching career started as an assistant at Hancock (Calif.) Junior College in 1967 before holding several positions for the University of Oregon from 1968-76, serving under freshman head coach George Seifert as freshman assistant for one season (1968), freshman head coach (1969-71) and offensive line coach (1972-76).
He then moved to the University of Southern California where he coached linebackers from 1977-79 and helped lead the Trojans to two Rose Bowl victories and the 1978 National Championship.
In 1964, Marshall began his college playing career at Washington State before having his playing career cut short due to a neck injury. He went on to major in health education at the University of Oregon in 1969.
Marshall and his wife, Becky, have two daughters, Sarah and Meg.
