It sis absolutely a "No Brainer"...TWO Super Bowls in two CONSECUTIVE seasons, WINNING while playing against the most prolific Quarterback in the League that year, 43 to > 8 < (garbage time points)...>>>PETE DID THAT<<<pittpnthrs":23bygw25 said:scutterhawk":23bygw25 said:You still can't dismiss the fact that Pete has already gotten us the Lombardi, and he did it as a SEAHAWKS COACH.pittpnthrs":23bygw25 said:scutterhawk":23bygw25 said:Meh...To each his own; Loyalty To Me ties directly to the same gig as the "Where Does Your Allegiance Lie" thread, that goes for Team, Players and COACHES of the Seahawks, and McVay ain't no part of the Seahawks, and I doubt like hell he ever will be.
It was Pete Carroll that got us our FIRST EVER LOMBARDI, NOT McVay.
The Hawks just hired two of McVays brain trusts. Even Seattles front office must think pretty highly of him.
AND, by Pete firing Cable, & hiring Solari, sending Bevell down the road kicking horse turds, canning Schotts & going after Waldren PROVES that he recognized that changes were needed to be made, just like when all his Coaching staff were hired by different teams all over the League after he took the Seahawks to TWO Super Bowls in a row, that is the way of the League.
One thing is for certain, once a system is used for too long, changes need to be made, ALL Coaches know this, thus, a Constant Rotation throughout the League, until everything old (with tweaking) is new again.
Hell, I even heard that Bill Billycheat was a Coach for the Browns, eh?
What does past accomplishments have to do with todays issues? By living in the past, you cant move forward. The firing of Cable and Bevell was two years to late. Pete lost the locker room by not firing them sooner.
As for the Carroll versus McVay debate goes, all one needs to do is look at last seasons playoff game between the Seahawks and the Rams to get your answer. You had one coach that game planned and schemed for their team that had a backup QB and a starter with 4 fingers, and then you had a coach that used the same game plan the other team just saw a couple weeks earlier with no variations and was dumbfounded and clueless as to how and why they lost afterwards. Its really a no brainer.
The old saying, IF you learn nothing from history (yesterdays issues) you are bound to repeat it, MEANING, the Rams only managed >>3<< points in a Super Bowl game, and yes, they beat the Seahawks in that Playoff game, THEN GOT PROMPTLY BOUNCED in the VERY NEXT GAME...That's FOOTBALL.
Look, I get it, you're enamored with McVay, but I just can't get into the slobbering all over a NON-SEAHAWK, especially one who hasn't had the end of the day success that SEAHAWKS HC Pete Carroll has had .
Oh and, the "Four Fingers" gig is getting pretty silly. :177692:
