Seattle hires Carl Smith as QB coach

The Seattle Seahawks have hired Carl Smith to be their new quarterbacks coach.

The team confirmed Smith's hiring on Friday.

Smith will replace Jedd Fisch, who left Seattle after just one season to return to the college game and become the offensive coordinator at Miami.

Smith will be reunited with coach Pete Carroll in Seattle. The two worked together at New England in the late 1990s and again at USC. Smith was the offensive coordinator in Jacksonville from 2005 to 2007 and spent last year as the quarterbacks coach of the Cleveland Browns.
