It wasn't because of his work here this season that's for sure.

I saw the tweet and I guess it's a very "Browns" move if you don't look at how much the Fangio tree has sucked this season when it has come to defense. I am really hoping that Pete sees the writing on the wall and scraps this shit scheme like Staley did halfway through the season.

I actually think it probably was, partly. His area of expertise is primarily the back 7. The secondary had played well, especially the backup strong safeties. He has Ryan Neal balling hard. Jonathan Abram looks way better than he ever did in Vegas or Green Bay. Teez doing decent, too. He's elevating guys who couldn't stick on other rosters.

He's also well-liked, very bright, and did well in Chicago when he got his chance as a DC. Not a stretch to think that he's seen as a promising candidate.

Hurtt definitely wouldn't be getting interest, but the other secondary guy the 'Hawks brought in (Karl Scott) was also rumored to be a name that's been tossed around by execs. I think the league thinks highly of the Seattle secondary and wouldn't even sniff the front 7 coaches.

Pete is inherently a DBs coach, given that's the position he played. It's been so great during Pete's tenure, to have competent DBs pretty much every season, such a turnaround from the pre-Pete days of Kelly Jennings and other DBs we used to pick on. So if aspiring young coaches are influenced by Pete's DB coaching superpowers, I'd expect they'd be in demand around the NFL (copycat) league.

I certainly wouldn't want to lose him. His main area of focus is the secondary; and given Woolen and Diggs Pro Bowl seasons, Ryan Neal being one of PFFs highest graded safetys, and positive development from Jackson and Bryant, I'd very much like to hang on to him, Karl Scott and Deshawn Shead.

Yeah, my post was mostly tongue-in-cheek.
He is a defensive coach though, who has some input on the overall product, so he has to take some responsibility as does Pete.

If he does bolt, Jimmy Lake may be a guy to reach out to. Or maybe try to pry Kris Richard from the Saints.
