Tied together

Just 675 miles separate Seattle and San Francisco, but for several members of the Seahawks, that distance might feel a lot closer.  Take a look at all of Seattle’s connections with the 49ers:

• Coach Pete Carroll coached two seasons for the 49ers
• Linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. played seven seasons for the 49ers
• Special teams assistant Jeff Ulbrich played 10 seasons for the 49ers
• Assistant defensive backs coach Kris Richard played one season for the 49ers
• Tight ends coach Pat McPherson’s father, Bill, coached 20 seasons for the 49ers
• Senior personnel executive Scot McCloughan worked in various personnel capacities for the 49ers for five seasons (2005-09)
• Running back Michael Robinson (four seasons) was previously a member of the 49ers
• Executive assistant to the head coach Dawn Beres worked for the 49ers for seven years
