Yesterday, on the Brock and Salk show, the conversation turned to the power structure breakdown in the Seahawks FO. I suggest you take a listen, because it was once again implied that John Schneider and Pete Carroll have equal power and somehow magically come to a consensus on every decision they make. In fact, Pete has final say on all football matters and no consensus is needed. What about the Seahawks power structure is so confusing for our local media?

and continuous into the 2nd hour:

Here are some of the better quotes:
[Why do the Seahawks succeed] "Is it because of the structure that puts neither one [Pete or John] of them fully in charge?"
"It's a flattened hierarchy."
"I never thought this convoluted management structure would work."
"John Schneider does not report to Pete Carroll."
From Wikipedia:
Generally, Schneider will scout the players and report to Carroll who has final decision over roster moves. The relationship has been described as Schneider setting the menu and Carroll picking specific players off of it.
From Wikipedia:
Carroll was officially hired as the Seahawks head coach on January 11.[42] He was also named executive vice president of football operations, effectively making him the Seahawks' general manager as well. While the Seahawks have a general manager in John Schneider, he serves mainly in an advisory role to Carroll, who has the final say in football matters. In fact, Schneider was actually hired by Carroll—a rare case of the head coach hiring the general manager. He is one of four current NFL coaches who also have the title or powers of general manager, along with the Patriots' Bill Belichick, Philadelphia Eagles' Chip Kelly and the Kansas City Chiefs' Andy Reid.
.Net ran a poll in 2013 asking the question "Who would you rather have for the next decade: Carroll or Schneider?"
Schneider won that poll 56% - 44%.
If the Pats forum had a similar poll with Bill Belichick and Nick Caserio; would Caserio get a single vote? I wonder how many Pats fans (let alone NFL fans) even know who Nick Caserio is.
