For me, the McDowell selection was a calculated one. And it was probably at Pete's request. That said, I also believe that the ATV accident changed McDowell as a person. He wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer to begin with, but he was in a much worse place after that accident. Just my opinion.

He would be aggressive at weird times, and conservative at weird times. So true. Challenge the calls that had no chance of being overturned, and not challenge the ones that were blatant. In addition to time clock mismanagement and a complete unwillingness to adapt, of course. I've mentioned this be...

“We had a good game plan if they had just run the ball”. He said some dumb shit in his time here…not much dumber than that.

Extra dumb, coming from a guy who was in charge of everything football and being paid millions to do so. That quote proves how clueless he had become.

But not only did he tell everyone what he was planning to do, he made no game time adjustments to compensate for the team's actual ...

The basketball hoop inside the auditorium at Seahawks headquarters — a fixture during the Pete Carroll era and perhaps the VMAC’s most prominent symbol of it — is gone. A new day in Renton under new coach Mike Macdonald.

We can thank Jody. Because this team certainly didn't reach its potential this season, especially on defense. I also appreciate that they chose to forgo familiarity (ie. Dan Quinn).

New coach, fresh approach.

One of the more interesting tidbits to come out of the first week of Seahawks' OTAs was a quote by Cary Williams, as he talked about adjusting to the Seahawks' style of secondary play. "They talk about being more patient," Williams said, per the Seahawks' website. "There's a lot of intricate things...
