Schneider to speak to media 11am PST today

[Maelstrom787]

He’s in control of all the coaching staff choices now. Hc, OC, DC

He might have final say, but surely he isn't going to decide that without the primary factor being how the HC feels about those hires

"I don't feel like I haven't been running the organization"

That's a hell of a quote from John.

Woah…a lot behind that and tbh, way more than I expected.

Asked how it would feel running all the facets of the organization and he unloaded with that

Tells me the guy definitely wasn't just being overruled by Pete constantly. This has been just as much his ship in terms of contribution, regardless of veto power.

Personally I didnt read too much into that besides John is clearly more uncomfortable in front of the media compared with Pete

 

[xray]

He looked nervous and uncomfortable . He tried to smile it off ; but not very well .

 

[chris98251]

He wants a guy that can coordinate and bring in a strong staff, doesn't matter OC, DC, SP, that can handle the high's and lows, feels experienced gives a person a good handle on that.

I don't see a college guy coming in here. Biggest thing is not to get stagnant, that statement by itself I think is the key to why Pete was let go. Kind of came out of the discussion and answer, but really we all said a lot of the same stuff in one way shape or form, we were not pushing and lost the edge and chip if you will.

He wants a guy that can work together well with the culture already established, meaning Jody, Him, and Bert I think but not stated as such.

Also that building a great staff and coaches is important.

Thats kind of generic but he wants to see the growth of the coaches and assistants, mentioned Branden and his accomplishments.

 

[chris98251]

He was Robin and not expected to make a lot of speeches, where he shined was draft day talking about players, this was different due to now it's about management, his structure and being careful not to misspeak knowing the eyes on him are waiting for a misstep to quote.

 

[Ozzy]

This was pretty interesting. He said he now has full control of the staff and personnel. That's telling me. I'm excited to see what he does.

Until he hires DQ & then everyone will be calling for his head.

^
Which indicates he didn't have control before .

 

[irfuben32]

He started off with the fact that he didn't hire PC.

 

[Ozzy]

I think he's going offensive coach based on the answer at the end of the press conference. I know he listed the problem of losing both but the defensive guy seemed to be thrown in after the fact. Completely reading into it but that's the vibe I got.

"I don't feel like I haven't been running the organization"

That's a hell of a quote from John.

Which indicates Pete gave him a lot of latitude and didn’t always veto his decisions

 

[kidhawk]

I do think people are trying to hard to read into things. He really didn’t say anything new except he has the first interview tomorrow.

The whole “did he run the organization” question is really his way of saying that he did his job as GM. Even Pete said that although he had the final say John still pretty much ran the GM side of things.

I’m sure Pete probably put his foot down here and there but let John do his job for the most part.

His saying how competitive this market is for coaches right now tells me that they aren’t going to wait too long to go from interview to decision. I think he has a list and probably a much shorter list of actual viable candidates. Once he gets through his list of viable candidates we will pull the trigger fairly quickly. Whether that’s now or after the Super Bowl depends on who is on the top of his short list.

 

[pmedic920]

That's not what I picture Harbaugh fisting

You’re sick, if you “picture” him fisting anything/anyone.

 

[xray]

He knows who the new HC is . imo

He started off with the fact that he didn't hire PC.

lol , that's because PC hired him .

 

[CactusJack]

I think he's going offensive coach based on the answer at the end of the press conference. I know he listed the problem of losing both but the defensive guy seemed to be thrown in after the fact. Completely reading into it but that's the vibe I got.

Let's hope that's the case.

 

[JayhawkMike]

At least he subtly took blame for some of the dumbass moves of the last half decade.

 

[Lagartixa]

No, it’s his twin brother. Both conveniently never in the same room together.

I am pleased to present the new head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Carroll Peters!

Disclosure: This is the same concept as when California governor Gray Davis was recalled and there were many candidates for the post-recall election, and then humorists, including The Onion, did bits where they showed pics of Davis in really obvious disguises as a candidate called "Dave Grayvis." And I was initially gonna go with "Carl Peters," but then I remembered ol' Archie Bunker himself, Carroll O'Connor.

 

[Chawker]

So, look at me, I'm steering the ship (currently anchor in bay) and the seach will begin tomorrow. Imformative ! And riveting.

1 point John. For the tomorrow thing
