Looks like Pederson is out of the running. Ugh. I have this gnawing feeling this OC hire is gonna be a disappointment. Maybe Seattle can just check some boxes and hire a female - ideally one who is a BLM/Antifa "peaceful protestor"! Check, check, check...
That would be SO Seattle. Ohhhhh, then they can play some home games in Portland, too!
It may also just be one of Pete's kids. Hell, Danny O'Neil this morning was trying to point out that his kids actually hold him accountable. If it takes hiring a kid for some accountability? Fuck that.
I agree, this hire is totally going to lack any excitement. Right about now I have more faith in Jimmy Lake getting a good DC....and I have almost no faith in that!
One guy wants a power run offense, but runs every play out of the shotgun with no FB, and the other thinks that LBs and D Lineman are the devil!
I can't help but think, and maybe it's just me projecting this, that if this hire isn't widely embraced by the fans and 'pundits', I have a feeling fan interest in the Seahawks is going to decline quickly. From a marketing stand point, no one wants to watch old school ball. Regardless of the merits or lack of merits of Carroll's philosophy, at the end of the day, the Seahawks are nothing more than a consumable product, and if that product doesn't evolve out of the dark ages, I know I'm not going to have any interest in watching. With the cost of games, the politics, the injuries, all the things the league has going against it, PC's "holding on for dear life" philosophy is just not going to be embraced anymore, IMO. Not while watching other teams put their foot on the gas out of the gate. There is more to the game than his plodding along approach, and watching that same movie over and over again, well, no thanks. I can't watch that anymore. Life is too short. Beyond the x's and o's of the game, if this team does not evolve, I think they are going to be in real trouble - both in the standings, and in fan support. After the epic disaster this season ended in, trotting out the same old same old, is going to be a very slippery slope to sell the fans.
