Frazier took the 2023 season off after a six-year stint as the Buffalo Bills' defensive coordinator.
Frazier, 64, will provide a sounding board to the 36-year-old Macdonald, now the youngest head coach in the NFL. Macdonald worked with Frazier on the Baltimore Ravens' staff in 2016 and considers him a mentor.
Seattle hired Macdonald as its head coach earlier this week, replacing Super Bowl champion Pete Carroll, who was moved to a front-office advisory role after the 2023 season.
Frazier spent three-plus seasons as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. After taking over on an interim basis in 2010 and holding the job for three full seasons after that, Frazier amassed a 21-32-1 record with one playoff appearance.
In Buffalo, Frazier coordinated the league's No. 1 defense in both scoring and yardage in 2021 and the No. 2 scoring defense in both 2019 and 2022.
