Reaching to blame coordinators at this juncture is a bridge too far. Given what we've watched transpire over the past 8-10 years.
Who's the guy in charge of this mess?
Who has their fingerprints all over it?
It's probably that guy's fault. Just saying.
But this leaves us at a pivotal point in Seahawks history. With our fate in Judy's hands.
How many years is it allowed to continue, also ? Because it's been screwed up for a long time. They just no longer have a Franchise QB to clean up Pete's mess anymore and mask the reoccurring issues. So many bad, dysfunctional teams carried by Pro-Bowl QB play as they stumbled into the playoffs. When other teams get that level of play from their QB. They make playoff runs. The Seahawks? Barely make the playoffs.
Geno did it for a half a season last year. Then came back to earth, they honestly only made it because for the first time in league history 7 teams got in, and the Rams & Cardinals took a dump at the same time. It was a fluke. But make no mistake, the issues and problems have been there for a long time. Regardless if you think it was a fluke or not. With only 1 common denominator.
Let's just say hypothetically it is the OC's fault. Well, Pete can't hire coordinators to save his life, either. So you're just swapping stooge for stooge. As you've seen over the years already. it won't fix it.
A healthy, well run franchise would recognize it's time to move on.
Keeping Pete at this juncture makes them the Bengals since the Super Bowl Loss. That window where they kept Marvin Lewis all those years. 16 years in fact. Made the playoffs a lot, didn't do anything when they got there. Just how Pete has been cruising for the last 10 years.
Then there's the division. McVay and Kyle in the same division. You cannot afford to fall so far behind on the coaching front. And they have done just that out of sentimentality. This is what sentimentality gets you, mediocrity at best.
Everyone currently is railing on the OC. I'm far more concerned with the DC. He is calling games worse than Waldron is on offense by far. #21 had his back to the sideline nearly the whole game. (Indicator of zone.) These players on defense are not being used properly at all. He is calling a Ken Norton style gameplan. Well because it's Pete's plan. When they should be a stacked front team, which brings pressure from everywhere, with confusing coverages (they only sprinkle this in). They are literally doing the opposite of how they are built on defense to play, and trending towards bottom 5 in the league. (Give it a few more weeks.) This thing is screwed anyway you want to dissect it. Offense, Defense, Penalties, Accountability (Lack there of), etc.
The Seahawks are in a desperate need of a new coaching staff ASAP. Top to bottom.
An Offensive HC, who can develop your very likely upcoming QB draft pick would be my plan A.
A Defensive HC, (Dan Quinn!) and trade/sign a veteran QB (Defensive coaches suck at developing QBs.) would be my plan B.
The ball is in your court, Judy.
