Poll:should Cable be gone?

[Sox-n-Hawks]

Replace him with Les Miles

 

[brimsalabim]

It’s time to try a different approach.

 

[NJlargent]

All our coaches should be fired or they need Scot M to come back and build another talented squad to hide their ineptness

 

[Bobblehead]

You only have to ask yourself, 1 question, would we be worse off without Cable?

I hated the signing from the get go, I never thought his actions against his subordinate was the right thing to do and besides, I didn't see much of him as a coach when he was a coach.

buh bye Felicia.

 

[hgwellz12]

Any of you (as of now) 10 "NO, stay the course" voters want to expound?

 

[Gio]

Yes , in the offseason !

 

[Shane Falco]

No-brainer. No running game, terrible o-line drafting / development. If he's not gone, it's just straight up loyalty to a fault on PC's part.

We need to get back to smash-mouth Seahawks football pronto.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No more Cable or Bevellriffic crap, time to move on to something new.

That happened this season already IMO, and in 2016 there was plenty of evidence that was taking place also.

 

[Sun Tzu]

Yes.

Not because he is terrible, which we don't know yet. But because he accepts this team bringing in projects on the OL.

Even when it eventually works we endure years of struggle beforehand and half the time as soon as they are serviceable we let them walk.

We need an ol coach that refuses to stay unless we give him decent players.

Bringing in subordinates who threaten to quit if they don't get their way is not how you build a winning organization. There are a lot of good points being made in this thread, both for moving on from Cable and for staying the course, this is not one of them. Give me what I want or else is a loser mentality.

 

[xgeoff]

Definitely get rid of him-the sooner the better. ZBS has failed, run game has failed and virtually every OL draft selection has been a bust. Cable simply personifies walking manure.

:ditto:

He should have been gone last offseason. Cable had success in Atlanta on Jim Mora's coaching staff but there again he had the luxury of having Michael Vick, Warrick Dunn, and TJ Duckett. Now we know that the real reason for his success is star players. It's more the players than it is Tom Cable. The dude is clearly overrated and out of his league as an Assistant HC/OL Coach and run game coordinator.

 

[Leee-roy]

Finally..... I've been saying dump cable for 2+ years now, and everybody's going " he has no tools to work with", bullshit.
I'm amazed Russ is still in one piece/
sometimes you have to hit bottom before people admit there's a problem.........We're there!

This is a trickier decision for me than the one about Darrell Bevell for the following reasons:

First, because it's the front office's decision to acquire or not acquire certain players, not position coaches. They have let numerous offensive line veterans leave (Unger, Carpenter, Okung, Giacomini, Sweezy, etc.) without paying for sufficient replacements. That is why the Seahawks were dead last in offensive line spending the last few years.

Second, because Tom Cable is a highly respected offensive line coach throughout the NFL who has always been committed to a strong running game. I have viewed him as a counterweight against Bevell's finesse tendencies that has often times helped to keep the offense afloat during Bevell's worst moments of play calling.

Third, I am not sure even the best offensive line coaches in league history would be able to accomplish much better with the likes of Rees Odiahmbo, Luke Joeckel, Oday Aboushi, Alvin Bailey, Bradley Sowell, Paul McQuiston, Patrick Lewis, Drew Nowak (former DT), Garry Gilliam (former TE), or Kristjan Sokoli (former DT).

People are quick to assume that the offensive line coach is leading the charge in the front office to acquire these cheaper players instead of high-priced veterans. I can't assume that because that's not how the delegation of authority typically works within an NFL organization. The scouts, GM, and head coach typically play a greater role in player acquisition than the position coaches themselves. Coaches "coaching" is how it normally works.

Cable's greatest sin has been his inability to campaign for more and better resources along the offensive line. That very well could be his downfall this off-season.

If you honestly believe all of that I'm not sure what to tell you. Cable is the "run game coordinator" so to speak. Blame Bevell for whatever you want, he doesn't design the run plays. He calls them. If we can't get a 3rd and 2 on the ground, that's hardly Bevells fault.

As far as the FO/Cables influence on drafts, Joey Hunt specifically was a guy Cable "had to have." I personally doubt Schneider went to Cable and said lm going to start drafting DL for you to convert. Figure it out.

As far as talent that we have resigned or not, we have resigned our best players. I personally argue against not resigning Okung and trading Unger but that's it. We have resigned our best players and none of those other lineman were close. The interesting part is, is some have gone into be better elsewhere.

The talent or lack there of that is here, he is responsible for. He is responsible to develop them. As the line stands now we have a 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st rounders and we still can't run the stinking ball.

You could say the same for RBs. Ware, Rod Smith and now Collins were/are great elsewhere. They never could get anything going. We have gone through lineman like crazy and fired the RB coach. Only one piece left.
