It's one thing to emphasize a philosophy and a different one to argue about calls with his OC in the middle of a game. Hoping for the best though.

They we’re probably worried about losing the locker room so PC had to duck blame somehow.

There’s nobody imaginative coming in. Expect More of the same. Not what I want but after ten years how can anyone see it any other way?
This. It will always be the same inefficient, low-outcome offense. The only difference is that now we'll shift back to focusing on running between the tackles for 2 yards a carry rather than throwing incomplete passes on 40 yard sideline bombs.

I wish PC was the one fired.

You've seen the Niners get to the Super Bowl based on it despite Jimmy G being awful, you saw the Browns blow the doors off the Steelers with it, and I don't even need to mention the Titans. It works, and it could be what Pete's after here.

Yes this style can work. Just hope Pete sees it too. He can't be that stubborn, can he?
After all, we tried Let Russ Cook, and we saw the good with the bad... Sacked 55+ times, most the league? Many due to holding the ball too long? Turnover machine?
Bottom line is Russ needs run game support, and PC is trying to put him in the best position to succeed.

Well, let's back up and think about it.
2018 saw Seattle lead the league in rushing. Last year, they averaged nearly 5 a carry.
Its clear that the short passing game was broken, and its never been Russell's strength. Couple an inefficient short passing attack with a pass-heavy split, and you get precisely what we saw - a team that can't convert third downs.
If the team maintains rush efficiency and does it a bit more often, it stands to reason that a lot of the crippling third down woes vanish. Furthermore, teams won't be able to just park their safeties high to take away the chunk plays without Seattle rushing up the field into weak boxes.
Creative rushing attacks are the wave. You've seen the Niners get to the Super Bowl based on it despite Jimmy G being awful, you saw the Browns blow the doors off the Steelers with it, and I don't even need to mention the Titans. It works, and it could be what Pete's after here.

I think I support this. Future head coach?
