I really hope Pete Carroll takes a look at Whisenhunt. Look at what he did for Philip RIvers whose play was mediocre before Whiz became his OC, and now that he's gone, Rivers, and the Chargers have struggled on offense.
lolwut.
Rivers leads the league in passing and has 18 TD in 8 games. The Chargers can't run the ball (in large part because their OL is actually probably worse than ours) or stop anyone.. that's their problem.
Whisenhunt is extremely overrated as an OC. Mike McCoy has done more for Rivers than Whiz did. Also, before that one year Whiz was in SD.. he had 3 consecutive years of posting a QB rating of over 100, and 4 consecutive seasons of throwing for over 4000 yards.
Not to mention.. Whiz has NEVER, EVER, EVER developed a young quarterback. He'd be the worst type of coordinator for Russell Wilson. His only semblance of success was getting Kurt Warner to go on a torrid run through the playoffs.. look at what Leinart said, Warner ran that offense.. not Whiz.

More of my argument to replace Darrell Bevell with Ken Whisenhunt...look at our offense this year...then look at what happened when the Ravens fired Cam Cameron in 2012, or when they added Gary Kubiak last year after Jim Caldwell left.
And this would be utterly ridiculous. The Ravens fired Cameron but replaced him with someone already on their staff. NO TEAM replaces an offensive coordinator with someone that has no relation whatsoever with the system you are running in the middle of the season.
If you want an in-season Bevell firing, the only guy to replace him would be Tom Cable.. and Cable's track record as an OC is infinitely worse than Bevell.
So no.. a change isn't happening until the offseason. If at all.
Fun fact: Steelers offensive rankings under Whiz: 11th, 9th, 12th
Chargers offensive ranking under Whiz: 12th
Cardinals offensive ranking under Whiz WITHOUT Kurt Warner: 26th, 24th, 31st
Seahawks offensive rankings under Bevell: 9th, 8th, 10th
But yeah.. lets fire Bevell today and hire this guy. I'm all in.
