Pete is basically the CEO of the Seahawks at this point and will be until Jody sells the team. That or he decides to retire. She signed him and JS to those lengthy extensions because she knew she wouldn't be involved in the product at all while they figure out her brothers assets, even if they held 'end of the year reviews'. A ~.500 season changes nothing, already winning 6 games basically ensures he is back next year if he wants to be.
I love Pete, he's a tremendous motivator and has all the characteristics you want in a leader. Him never throwing coaches or players under the bus is commendable and even defends them to a fault. But the league has evolved and is leaving behind the older defensive minded head coaches. Steelers fans want Tomlin gone just as bad and he's been as winning of a coach as anyone. Shanahan has had what, 3 DC's leave for HC jobs while he basically runs just the offense? Harbaugh keeps the Ravens competitive because he isn't afraid to rip off the band aid. Defense that was excellent for almost 20 years finally started showing signs of weakness, so he cleans house and brings in a young kid from an excellent Michigan defense. Relatively same personnel, new scheme, back to playing excellent defensive football. Lamar Jackson almost leaves so he brings in a guy to run a more innovative offense with an updated passing game.
Pete needs to do that on both sides of the ball and let them implement a new system. I just don't think he ever will and we will likely be back here next year asking the same questions.
