    I didn’t see Pete

    That's in the summertime. He will be busy cleaning Jody's pool.

    I didn’t see Pete

    Nope, unfortunately--they are never letting go. They will manufacture ways to give credit to Pete. Buckle up. The stuff I've heard these last few weeks, and shoot, even some of the posts in this thread. Hahahahaha. And you are correct about John, It's like he was stuck in a bad marriage for a...

    Like what? I'm genuinely curious.

    What are the expectations

    I luv you guys. But it's a few months too early. -Gotta hire the rest of the staff. -Who is the QB? -Who do they cut on defense? -Who do they add on defense in Free Agency? -What about the O-Line? -How well did they draft in 2024 as a whole? The only current expectation I have is they...

    I didn’t see Pete

    He's still getting paid from his current contract is why. It will expire after the upcoming season. And he will not be getting any more contracts from the Seahawks thereafter. Pete was fired in a PR way that was meant to soften the blow for the more casual fans, as they have yet to realize how...

    POLL: Preliminary Expectations in 2024

    Too many variables at this point. Another year of Geno? Do they draft a QB early in the draft? How big of a leap can the defense make in year 1 under MM? It's going to improve, but by how much. It's hard to make that determination given they haven't yet acquired any new pieces yet. Can they...

    Do we have the pieces to run Mike McD's Defense?

    Honestly, I hope they don't spend big money on LBer or Safety. Spend it on the guys up front. However, the Seahawks currently have no one at LBer of value under contract, so maybe being so thin forces their hand to spend on somebody. In that case it's gotta be Queen. He is plug 'n play. It's...

    Things I Think I Think

    I came to these very same conclusions 4 years ago. And had a thought of--"do I not say what I'm seeing"? No, I'd rather tell the truth even knowing I will be demonized for it. As I care more about the Seahawks > than the fans who want to be lied to and told everything is fine. That mentality...

    Who is available for OC?

    Cutting edge, modern. Keep that theme. Disruptive to the current market. I saw a sprinkle of 2 QBs in the backfield in NFL games this year, used only for a play here and a play there. With so many guys able to both run and throw now. In the not too distant future a team is going to implement...

    Fades Take on Seahawks Culture with this Hire

    And it is an incredible thing. John Schneider hired a Jim/Jon Harbaugh disciple completely opposite of what Pete Carroll is. -Pete Carroll is the oldest coach. Mike Macdonald is the youngest. -Pete had an antiquated scheme. Mike has a cutting edge, modern scheme that adapts to the players...

    Do we have the pieces to run Mike McD's Defense?

    His system is to fit it to the players he has. He is not Pete Carroll square pegging round holing players.

    LOL @ the media

    The Media sucks. Fans across the NFL on YouTube are better than the corporate news media at this point. Follow Hawksnest and SeahawksDraftblog, they do a better job of showing which way the ship is steering.

    Johnson Off the Table

    Better to try, than to not try at all. Coughlin was done anyway, and keeping him was not a better solution. Just like keeping stagnant Pete is not.a better solution here.

    Johnson Off the Table

    You might be right. Also, Just because you don't get the top target, or the hot name, doesn't mean you will lose out on getting the right guy. Pete Carroll was USC's 3rd choice to be their HC. It worked out well for them. I do find it funny that the media said Ben Johnson was a lock to WAS...

    Johnson Off the Table

    The Seahawks waiting for Johnson is odd in hindsight. I would think his agent must've made it very clear his price tag. So, if you don't want to pay that, why continue to to wait it out for him and do a 2nd interview? Something isn't adding up there. This is huge for the Lions, as he is what...

    What will Pete be doing in 2024?

    Pete is out, sir. Mike Holmgren has been spotted at the VMAC and is having more input than Pete on who the next coach will be. (Pete stated he is not part of hiring process.) Pete was fired in a politically correct way. He actually doesn't have much of a role with the Seahawks at all, as when...

    POLL: Who Is Our Next HC?

    You're probably right. The funny thing is, I think whoever takes the WAS job will fail. And whoever takes the Seattle job will succeed. Seattle is the better organization, objectively.

    POLL: Who Is Our Next HC?

    Yeah, you don't necessarily need to hire a defensive head coach to fix your defense. Just need to hire a quality DC. This is another reason why the league is tilting towards offensive HCs. Much easier to find a DC to fix that unit, than to find an OC to place under a defensive HC to fix that...

    Eagles hire Clint Hurtt

    Clint Hurtt developed ZERO D-Lineman while he was here in that role. 2017-2021. I hate to break it to folks, but he isn't a good D-Line Coach either. He failed upwards to DC inexplicably. I am just glad he is someone else's problem. Having this guy along with Norton at DC is why I turned on...

    Pete Factor?

    I don't see a lot of longterm starters on this list. ERFAs are cheap, and will be kept, so no need to list those. RFA's can be cheap if negotiated down at the end of training camp, or just roll with them as is on a 1 yr rental. QB Lock = not a starter, bring back on the cheap, or let him...
