Position he's up for right now is undisclosed. Could be offensive coordinator, perhaps QB coach. Possibly both.

Didn't Pete mention something about the QB coach needing to focus just on QBs?
So Bevell would be in the running for both but wouldn’t hold both jobs.

Probably OC then.
Would be odd to get a QB coach before a OC thats going to control the passing game.

Anyone else think..
That these types of hires only help our chances of getting some key free agents? For example, Gallery (OG) and Rice?
Ka-Kaaa!
I think there's a good chance Gallery will follow Cable
Cable and Gallery are like Gibbs and Hamilton. I’m not sure about Rice, tough.

now that's a bandwagon i can get on
We’re talking about as a QB right and not as a WR? Although I’m hoping he plays a few snaps as WR again so i can plug him into my fantasy football lineup as WR while he plays QB like i did last year, lol.
Helped develop Aaron Rodgers.
Managed to keep Favre and Childress together for at least one year.

I would love to see him use Golden Tate the way Percy Harvin is used.

I wish Golden Tate would just pay attention.

If he had gotten concussed in the Bears game
I think he would’ve caught 15 passes in the 2nd half en route to a 42-35 win over Chicago.
Fire Gus "What's a screen?" Bradley.
Just have all the plays called "Maple Bar"

Sando's saying
the offense is gonna have the Q/PM relationship we have at coach/GM. Cable is gonna have control of the offense, and he’s taking part in the OC hiring
Thats a little out of context.
Cable is going to have a say because he is the assistant head coach. He is also going to control the running game. But not the offense.
by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 19, 2011 11:39 AM PST up reply actions
Him and the OC are going to have to work together.

This is how things were supposed to work with Gibbs/Bates too
So nothing new there
by Thomas Beekers on Jan 20, 2011 10:07 AM PST up reply actions
Thats the impression that I got as well
that the title of offensive coordinator isn’t going to mean to the Seahawks what it does for most teams.
This isn't that uncommon for the Seahawks.
Mora for instance was the DB coach but the assistant head coach as well.
by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 19, 2011 11:46 AM PST up reply actions
But John Marshall was the unquestioned head of the defensive coaching staff.
I think Cable is going to have input in game plans and how games are called.
Mora had just as much pull in the gameplans for the defense.
Just didn’t call the plays. Its not like gameplans are ever done by just one person. Its always a collaborative effort. But on gameday only one person will call the plays at that will be the OC.
by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 19, 2011 11:51 AM PST up reply actions
The gameplans changed drastically when Mora took over as coach.
I really think that the new OC will have a minor role, kind of like Bates originally had in Denver when he called plays in 2008 but Shanahan was the guy in control.
Mora completely changed the philosophy of the defense.
Doesn’t mean he didn’t have a say in what John Marshall was doing.
But Cable and Carroll are on the same page for what they want to do on offense. So whoever comes in as the OC is probably going to fit right in. (Philosophy wise)

That was a big refrain in the PC PC
This is Pete’s team and its going to follow Pete’s philosophy.

His name is Darrell
And word out of Minnesota was he was interviewed yesterday for QB coach. Maybe now that McDaniels is with the Rams they are interviewing him for OC.
Was that today's interview or yesterday's interview?
This was the report I read yesterday from Twin Cities’ ESPN radio:
Incumbent offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who remains under contract with the Vikings, was interviewing on Tuesday to be the Seattle Seahawks’ quarterbacks coach.
He's interviewing for both/either
Pete mentioned that in today’s press conference.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:06 PM PST up reply actions
I guess what I'm wondering is was McDaniels their first choice
Sando mentioned yesterday too that Bevell was in interviewing for the QB coach job on Tuesday. I wonder if he was brought back in on Wednesday after McDaniels got the Rams job to interview again for both jobs.
Maybe
but I can’t see McDaniels and an asst HC Cable coexisting on the same team. If McD was in the cards, I’d have to think that Cable was a fallback.

Interesting point from the press conference
Pete said that Wash has a great relationship with Bradley. So I would take that to mean that Bradley isn’t going anywhere, even though our defense was on the bad side of terrible most of the year.
But as always the question remains: is it the players or the coordinator that made the defense bad?
Pete mentioned problems with the depth on the DL last year
That we played well to start but had big problems when Mebane/Cole/Red went down.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:00 PM PST up reply actions
Which is a very good point.
All that roster turnover created gaping holes in terms of depth. I still can’t believe that losing Bryant crippled our defensive plan.
And what about our secondary? They were their same bad selves most of the year. I hope some of our rookies make the jump in season 2 and we can bring in some stud veteran players to solidify it.
Needless to say (but i’ll say it anyway), we need to improve on all points of our defense.
by BennyGStein on Jan 19, 2011 12:03 PM PST up reply actions
Pete specifically mentioned the OL and DL as places that need work
He didn’t really talk about the secondary or LB corps very much.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:06 PM PST up reply actions
LB doesn't really seem to be a problem
Getting a player that’ll push Cole to a backup and Terrill out the door for good will be the biggest difference maker possible IMO.
Assuming we resign MeBane.
Adding one Guard on the OL could change the whole line.
I think so
A Okung-Gallery-Spencer left side looks a lot better to me than an Okung-Pitts/Polumbus/Gibson-Spencer left side. With that set, the right side wouldn’t be as much of an issue.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:11 PM PST up reply actions
Gallery would be a great pickup
He just looks nasty. Not sure if he can spell R-E-S-P-E-C-T but he commands it.
Maybe its wishful thinking
but I think the purpose of Cable’s hiring was to bring some nastiness to the OL.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:16 PM PST up reply actions
Maybe a part of that is teaching
these guys what they can get away with.
Spencer seems like a player that is a nasty streak away from dominance.
And yes
Okung
Gallery
Spencer/Unger
Starts to look pretty good
Spencer/Unger/Gibson
Andrew/??
The other side could take shape with competition and depth form the draft
I think we keep him as depth as long as he's cheap
unless we can trade him.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:17 PM PST up reply actions
While he tends to be one of my sentimental favorites
I am not sure that this would be such a bad thing.
If they're looking to get physical and nasty and control the line of scrimmage then Unger is not their guy.
And if their comments earlier in the year about wanting to match up better against 3-4 lineman it’s another knock against him. Also, he was pretty awful his rookie year.
Hopefully he proves me wrong but he wouldn’t be the first player Pete schemed off the team.
He was named the starting RG
Not so sure he’s obtained the “disappointment” title with Pete just yet.
He’s cheap. He’s young. Yes he was an over draft but that’s not his fault.
Weren't Andrews and Pitts brought in to push him though?
Or was the Andrews trade after Unger got hurt?
Pitts came as a package deal with Gibbs
and Andrews was traded for as a T cause of okung/to push Locklear (I think) Unger’s injury pushed him inside to G I believe.
by SgtSasquatch on Jan 19, 2011 12:32 PM PST up reply actions
Pitts was still a FA after Gibbs left
He fit the system and had worked with Gibbs, but wasn’t tied to him.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:35 PM PST up reply actions
Can't remember
I think Andrews was just before the season so it must have been before he got hurt.
Pitts was a reclamation project. I’m not sure it had much to do with Unger specifically.
It was like the day Gibbs retired
I remember us all wondering if we switching to regular blocking over night
Unger was put on IR on Sept 14th after being injured on the 12th
Andrews was traded on the 6th of September.

So I think those guys may be in the mix.

Polumbus was pretty steady
Who else would he be talking about on the line.
Andrews was a trade.
Pitts never showed up really
All those guys from GB with funny names
I think a bunch ended up on the PS and some were on the active roster for a bit.

And a Frenchie (or Quebecois)
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:30 PM PST up reply actions
So Pete and/or John are pretty high on those guys
and its not rare for a late-round draft pick to find success on the OL.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:36 PM PST up reply actions
I really like Polumbus
Maybe just cause of his hustle in the Beast Quake run. Was he terrible at RT on other teams? Maybe might fit in at RG
I wouldn't mind a
Okung-Gallery-Spencer-[Draftee or FA]-Polumbus lineup. I think as long as we get new blood in at least two positions we could see a ton of improvement from the O-line.
The sun will shine on winter snow. And shadows fade In Excelsis Deo. GO HASSELBECK!!!
What's Willis' contract status?
I know he was IR’ed this season, but do we have him under contract for next? Seems like he could be put to use somewhere on the right side.
He signed a 2-year deal in March of 2009
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3959246
I think that might make him a FA now.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 12:46 PM PST up reply actions
I think we all forgot about Willis
But I think he’s the prime off-season candidate for starting RT.

So the big headline on ESPN from the Carroll interview today
is that re-signing Hasselbeck is the team’s top priority and is “vitally important”. (HERE) It ends with a note on Bevell.
They're not going in a different direction with an OC
The guy they pick will be subordinate to Pete and, likely, Cable. The new OC will likely call plays but not necessarily define the offensive system. It would be like Mike Holmgren hiring an OC.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 1:03 PM PST up reply actions
There's just no reason for it.
Making statements like Carroll’s may well do no harm, but it is definitely not doing any good. On the other hand, this new OC should be in charge of the passing game, right? He has a defense-minded head coach and a running game line coach, so it would seem that the OC is the guy most tied to the QB. And as such, I’m would imagine most candidates would rather hear “would you like Matt Hasselbeck or do you have someone else in mind” to “Matt Hasselbeck is your quaterback and you’re going to like it.”
I read it as "Matt Hasselbeck is the best we've got right now"
“but we’re looking real hard at upgrading the position”. There’s also the possibility that Pete can say things to an OC candidate or Matt that he couldn’t say in a press conference.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 1:21 PM PST up reply actions
I listened to the press conference that was the primary source for the article
I don’t know what the article says.
For reference, Sando thinks that Pete said what he said because he can’t say anything until we get a Matt replacement in the draft.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 3:12 PM PST up reply actions
I think you should listen to the press conference.
That article just pulls quotes from what Carroll said today.
Why would you take a second hand source
over the real deal?
I'm not sure if you could have heard everything by listening to the press conference.
The article above made it sound like the strongest statement Carroll made regarding Matt was after he first walked away from the podium. So I’m not sure if that would have been caught if you were just listening on the radio or online, since the people broadcasting would have likely thought the press conference was over.
Pete Carroll was halfway off the stage when he walked back and dropped perhaps the biggest nugget regarding the Seattle Seahawks offseason.
Re-signing quarterback Matt Hasselbeck isn’t just important. It’s the Seahawks’ No. 1 priority, Carroll said.
“It’s the top priority in the program. You have to deal with this or you don’t understand the game and I think we understand it really well,” Carroll said. “That’s why the very first meeting after our team meeting was [general manager] John [Schneider] and I and Matt. I guess you gauge what you think of that in terms of sense of urgency. We couldn’t have done it more quickly.”
by Mind of no mind on Jan 19, 2011 3:31 PM PST up reply actions
further to that
I heard Carroll say that the QB position is priority #1 – not Hasselbeck specifically.
He said it’s Hass, Whitehurst, free agents and the draft all coming together for a competition.
It was a political answer he was giving so no one got hurt. He’s not going to reveal important player decisions before they’re made officially.
Except even on the official Seahawks website the headline is
“Carroll: Re-signing Hasselbeck “is a priority” and in it it says:
Carroll went farther than that when asked if he was proceeding as if Hasselbeck will be the starter next season. "I don’t think there’s any other way to look at it," Carroll said. "He’s our starting quarterback."
So unless there is some conspiracy among sports writers and the official Seahawk website, it looks like Pete is committed to Matt.
Pete's definitely committed to re-signing Matt
but there’s no way that he’s not looking at a QB with the 1st round pick. He mentioned several times that the QB position was the most important one, that he was looking to upgrade it and that, like every other position, it would be a competition.
About Charlie, he said that he needed more starts and that 2 games wasn’t enough to evaluate him.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 4:17 PM PST up reply actions
Yep - a conspiracy.
Maybe I misinterpreted what Pete Carroll was saying throughout the press conference, but it seemed like he wasn’t fully committed to Hasselbeck. He was very in favor of him, but he aslo said a lot about how Hass is a good mentor and how they’re trying to solidify and improve the QB position through developing Whitehurst, potential free agents and through the draft.
I’m not saying that Hasselbeck isn’t a priority for the franchise, I just don’t think it’s as overblown as some of the headlines are making it. The statements Pete made seemed fairly general in nature – ie he wasn’t saying, “Hass is our guy all of next year.”
He also mentioned that "you can't play football forever" in regards to Matt
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 4:22 PM PST up reply actions
Which is where I got some of my inferences
I think they defintely want Matt back – especially with a lockout looming and with the current QB situation all but resolved. But it should be an open competition for the starting gig.
Matt is the defacto starter
but his job isn’t secure.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 4:32 PM PST up reply actions
The new offensive coordinator is going to fit Petes philosophy
I doubt the cares about what candidates he alienates because they’re not guys he was going to want anyways.
Of course. But Matt Hasselbeck is probably not the only QB that matches Pete's philosophy, right?
Do you think thinking Matt Hasselbeck is the best quaterback for the team is a OC prerequisite?
He said explicitly that he thought the QB was the most important position
and that he wanted to upgrade the position.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 3:13 PM PST up reply actions
I'm just going off the article. If you'd like to discuss the merits of the article, fine.
I’m making that assumption based on 1) signing Matt is Carroll’s number one priority and 2) he doesn’t know who his OC is yet.
The new OC isn't picking the new QB
The new OC is going to be an extension of Pete. Pete wants Matt locked up and is looking to upgrade.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jan 19, 2011 4:18 PM PST up reply actions
Oh, awesome.
So the team’s entire offensive philosophy is oriented around a noodle-armed, mid-30’s quarterback. Maybe Pete should let someone who knows offense actually deal with the, uh, offense?
hasselbeck
Is a witch of some sort, using voodoo of some nature to force Pete into thinking that hass is Montana reincarnate…in his prime no less.
by plyka on Jan 19, 2011 4:24 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Looks like another off season of "the sky is falling" commentry?
Thoughts on stuff I’ve read in the past 3-4 threads:
-Enough with the “we’re going to run the ball all the time”. Pete made it clear he wants a physical and nasty O-line. He believes, and many have echoed, that this makes your whole team better. Including the passing game. I agree 110%. Remember 2005? I don’t think our skill players on offense were that different than what we have now. We were not loaded with elite receivers.
-Pete wants everyone on the same page as him philosophically. Maybe he’s right, maybe he’s wrong, but the man has a track record off having coaches get hired by others and not skipping a beat.
-Hass. I’m not a fan, but who else? You want to go into next season giving Charlie the Job? Or do you want him competing? If you don’t sign Hass you have to bring someone in. Is Orton any better? Is he worth the pick? Is Kolb worth 1/2 your picks?
Hass and Charlie is better than Charlie and nothing. Pete has shown he will give Charlie a chance. In week 17, our biggest game of the season to that point, he started Charlie over a Matt.
Pete is not the only HC in the league that has final say over coaches, personnel and direction. He’s made it clear everyone must believe in his direction.
/rant
I really don't mind Hass coming back if we draft a decent QB prospect.

Seems like we could have a shot at one of the top 4 QB's in the draft

What about Nate Davis?
If he gets himself in proper shape, and finds the motivation, I really like the possibility with his big arm and mobility. He’s had some pre-season experience so not a rookie, but still young, and was passed over by Singletary, the man that single handedly set the niners back a good year or three.
I really liked his pocket presense...
…and the way he kept his eyes downfield while avoiding the rush. He didn’t take a sack that I saw in his 2 pre-season games, and threw the ball away a couple of times.
One of his throws went 65 yards in the air for a completion. He looked really good.
I thought CW looked very skittish in his game against the Rams...
…like he was running scared. Not good for a guy who has been around so long.
Compare his lack of composure to Joe Webb, a rookie QB beating the Eagles after being drafted as a WR, or as I already mentioned, Nate Davis.
I had high hopes for CW, and was the first one to argue that he needed a number of starts in order to develop, but I don’t know anymore. He has been very unimpressive on the field this year.
And finally...
…I am not a fan of keeping Hasslebeck as the starting QB. He hamstrings the offense by his limited arm and mobility.
But that’s just me.
Agreed.
I’m not looking forward to the “FRANCHIZE OVER!!” comments that will inevitably follow a coaching shakeup.
Go look back at the Bates firing thread.
There were definitely comments to this effect. Someone specifically said they just completely lost faith in Carroll’s regime. Another said welcome to four more years of Hasselbeck, which, if you follow popular thought here, would be a very unwelcome prospect. I’m not saying everyone reacted or will react this way, but we definitely can’ tsay no one has.
Unexpectedly firing a bright young coordinator is discouraging.
And the four more years of Hasselbeck comment was a joke about hiring Zorn.
Yes it is discouraging.
I’m just saying I wasn’t looking forward to the hyper-ventilating comments that followed immediately and could continue after our next hire. The Hass comment I was referring to actually says three years an comes way before any Zorn comments. Look, for the most part everyone here is civil and rational and there’s been some great discussions. But, there will always be people in the community that overreact, and I don’t look forward to those future comments, and I didn’t like reading the previous ones. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
I'm getting the sensation that "overreacting" means any criticism at all.
The firing of Bates isn’t the first black mark on Pete’s tenure as the leader of the Seahawks. To see it as evidence that the team is going in the wrong direction isn’t “hyper-ventilating”.

Well that's a weird sensation
considering my comments have said or implied nothing of the sort. I’m not even saying I agree with the firing of Bates. If you don’t think “I just lost all faith in our FO” and “welcome to three more years of Matt Hasselbeck” is an over-reaction to the firing of Bates, I can’t help you.
Honestly, I don't see a lot of that around here.
I think your reaction to this perceived overreaction is overreaction.
I just don't get where this comment is coming from.
To act like I said that anyone that sees this as evidence of going in the wrong direction is over-reacting is patently ridiculous. I’m on record as one of the people disappointed in this firing!
I was too
and I might be one of the bigger Pete Carroll apologists around.

John Clayton saying we offered him the OC job
Per Twitter.
http://twitter.com/#!/mattpitman
Here's another link
Clayton reporting that the #Seahawks have offered Darrell Bevell the offensive coordinator position.

I assume Bevell is a QB guru type
And that the offer is being made so he can help groom the next franchise QB.
Incorrect assumption?
I don't know about that
He worked with Favre/Rodgers for one year in 2005 and then moved to Minnesota.
He was an OC under an offensive-minded coach, so he didn’t have a ton of power. Sando was saying his WCO lineage was more like Holmgren’s than Shannahan’s. He was part of an offense that took off with Favre and was able to feature Harvin’s special talents outside of the traditional WR role.

wow
What a step in the wrong direction! Here is to hoping that cable will be the real OC. I just love what he did with the raiders offense. Resurrected mcfadden into a top RB of this league and in my opinion had the best rushing attack along with KC. Bevell on the other hand was responsible for a pathetic offense while having the premier RB in the league.

Off Topic: No Jim Mora, Jr. this year
http://www.milehighreport.com/2011/1/19/1944962/jim-mora-will-not-coach-this-year
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Unfortunately for anyone who watches football on TV...
…is that he’ll be doing ‘analysis’ for us all to tune out as best we can.
Hasseldone.
Here's Sando take on Bevell:
Bevell and the Vikings ran a West Coast system with at least some ties to what the Seahawks have been running. Bevell’s ties to former Vikings coach Brad Childress link back to Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid and, by extension, to former Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren.
Bates’ offense aligns more closely with Mike Shanahan’s version of the West Coast system. It all traces back to Bill Walsh, but Bevell’s roots trace more directly to Holmgren than to Bates or Shanahan. Bevell and Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck were together in Green Bay.
If the Seahawks hire Bevell, I would expect Bevell and offensive line coach Tom Cable to combine their efforts in shaping the offense. Cable’s influence will be significant. This team will not ignore the running game.
Bevell did take over play calling from Childress in 2007, and the offense seemed to perk up.

Well Reid and Holmgren are QB guys though.
I’m not sure this is a move in the wrong direction – it’s hard to say what his approach will be.
Seems to be official now.
If I'm going to root for an all-tools QB starting for my Seahawks it better be Jake Locker.
