I was convinced back then that we would go on to win 3-4 SB's after the Falcon loss,and we should really have done three at least.

If the Seahawks can be that "It" team again (high popularity), then, they have a shot.
If not then, whoever the new owner is, pretty much, can make or break the Seahawks future.
Could take awhile to sell the Seahawks, they say this could end up as the most expensive sports team ever sold.chris98251":utngudyi said:TheLegendOfBoom":utngudyi said:A rising team in a market that the NFL wants to succeed will find favorable officiating.

The rosters that he had in 2012, 2013 and 2014 were historically good, and quite rightfully have earned their spot as one of the best units of all time. That unit was able to be assembled due to all of our star players being in their rookie contracts at the same time. It was a perfect storm. Not only were the Seahawks one of the best defenses of all time, but they also annihilated the best offense of all time.
That same roster is impossible to build with the looming Frank Clark, Reed, and Russell Wilson contracts on the horizons. In 2012 the Seahawks already had one of the highest DVOA's of all time. Due to the a large, untapped cap-space being available we were able to go out and get guys like Bennett, Cliff Avril, and McDaniel, the year prior we went out and built our line with guys like McQuiston and Breno Giacomini. We spent a lot of money in free agency, as well as drafted or traded for multiple HOFers.
Pete Carroll is unlikely to ever repeat this type of roster again. It was a historical team, yet even so they under-performed for what they had. Carroll is a great motivator, and he is also very good at seeing things in players that others don't at the defensive position. He is the kind of guy you want to put together a program for you. That being said he comes with some significant downsides.
On offense he tends to hire retreads, and he tends to take control here. He has an unrelenting approach to the game. It works more times than not, but often times he is unable to adapt to what the opposition is throwing at him. If his initial gameplan gets foiled, he seems to struggle to get back into the game on offense. He doesn't like adjusting.
What Pete Carroll is at this point in time is good ol' Marty Schottenheimer. A coach that never has a losing season, but really will struggle come post-season. Since that fateful Super Bowl mishap we are under .500 in the playoffs. It has become abundantly clear to me that the 2013, and 2014 team masked many of his in game coaching faults.
Carroll needs to take a step back. He needs to be a Mike Tomlin sort of coach. A guy that comes up with the general plan, and program but leaves the in game stuff to his coordinators. In this sort of role he could be very successful if he hired the right people. I just don't think he has it in him to do that.

Then, stay completely out of the offense, he's no good at it both in - in-game calls AND general philosophy.

Agree with this. We had the cheap QB, star studded D, and we blew the Super Bowl. That had a lasting effect for the following seasons and probably cost us one or two more appearances. Unless Wilson takes a hometown discount ala Tom Brady, this team will not be good enough to win it all. He's a great QB, but I'd rather have Rodgers, Brees, or Luck at top dollar. Our front office isn't nailing draft picks year after year, so we need that extra $ to go out and sign someone like Suh or Mack to help make the team more championship ready.

And to the guy who said he'd rather have Luck over Wilson I wouldn't. He had a pretty bad injury that could be problematic as he ages. He could play in this system, he's deceptively mobile, and he doesn't have the worst deep ball, but he tends to gamble too much for Pete's liking. Luck isn't afraid to take huge risk, that isn't Pete's MO on offense. The entire system is designed to limit turnovers. We explicitly avoid certain areas of the field, and certain types of routes to cut down on turnovers.
