Post your favorite Jim Mora Jr Moments Mine was him putting Josh Wilson the 5'9" corner on Larry Fitzgerald and then after the game said he needed to play dirtier.

If Schotty and Norton poo poo the bed, I wouldn't be surprised if they're 1 and dones. Seahawks have shown to move on if you are mediocre / bad to start (I guess I'm only going after Jim Mora Jr.). Carroll also has 2 years left on his contract so I wouldn't be surprised if they go elsewhere before making him a lame duck HC. Either way I'm really not looking forward to next season.

If the Seahawks have a losing record next season because of BS and Norton would they fire Carroll too?

I'd say yes, just because this team is talented enough that barring enormous injuries 8-8 or better seems likely. So if they do worse than that it really is the coaching.

Pete Carroll asked for full control on his hires, so he'd be a part of the problem. Compound that with the fact that he's the oldest coach in the NFL, followed a trend of getting worse each season since the super bowl victory, well... I dunno. In other news, Cliff Avril and Kam have indicated they plan to play next season, which...  they're going to die on the field, aren't they?

There is a part of the brain that holds out and says "Maybe somehow it will work this time!" And you wanna listen to that over conventional wisdom that says "Schotty's record is pure dogshit and there's nothing to indicate it will be different this time around."

I thought someone was contributing there after John Morgan left. I expect a poo poo season, but I've been wrong before. I remember when Carroll was universally seen as a dumb hire.

At least we will know if we need a new head coach after next year shakes out. Pete Carroll is going full crazy and if the Hawks fall apart next year all fingers will be pointed his direction.

Much like his aging body, Pete's team is slowly deteriorating after peaking during its younger, prime years. Ultimately ending in a wet fart.

As long as Wilson stays healthy I think it's a 9-7 team. It's not like we've gotten long years of incredibly playcalling.

Basically how I feel about it. There's nothing a Carroll team can do on the field to sour his legacy for me--he won us a Super Bowl! I wasn't sure we'd ever get one. Even more fun that they won my favorite game of all time against our biggest rivals on the way. If this is the end of the era, then it's been a hell of a ride. dont even fink about it posted:As long as Wilson stays healthy I think it's a 9-7 team.

Hell, we were only a few field goals away from being a 12 win team. Shoulda beat Tennessee too. Theres a 13-3 season if we just make a few missed plays and catch a break or two at the right time. Still though, improved oline play and this team is ready for another deep playoff run. Even just league average blocking and everything falls into place.

Alright, so this is a long shot, but there is some optimism. Here's where Schotty was as an NFL OC New York Jets (2006–2011) St. Louis Rams (2012–2014) Georgia (2015) Certainly no QB like Wilson. Also, the OL might be above terrible. Pocic looked decent as a rookie, Brown is a good LT, and the C and RT are still young. If this OL coach is just halfway decent, there might be a not bad OL. In which case there might be something. Player wise on offense I'm only concerned about LG and RB. If Rawls can stay healthy then okay. Quote this halfway through the 2018 season as a somber reminder of foolishness.

Seriously, kind of excited to see what the OL does this year. And there's a huge difference in win utility between a below-average OL and a literally-the-worst OL.

As weird as it seems, these three years when Schotty was OC for the Rams were the best three years, production-wise, than anytime between 2007 and 2016 for the Rams. Not an endorsement by any means. just pointing out something I found interesting.

I'm trying to go right to Stage 5. They probably won't be very good! But all things must end. Besides, it's not like I loved the last couple of years. Bevell's offense made me want to drink bleach.

I have hope in Solari.... I remembered our OL from 2008 and 2009, and was feeling depressed that we picked that guy back up again... But then I saw that he was the OL coach for the 49ers from 2010-2014. that was a solid OL, lots of talent, but the scheming worked well too. Maybe he can coach our shitheads up?
