The Seattle Seahawks probably will hire a new OC before I finish this series but I wanted to give an informal look at a few good plays from Seattle’s potential hires. Nothing too in-depth—it’s the offseason and I’ve Spanish to teach myself and a very smart but nervous wife back in school full time for the first time in decades.
Football has a inglorious tradition of coaches and nominal journalists who mystify and double-talk themselves into credibility. One thing I really like about Pete Carroll is that he’s clearly a smart man, at least by my reading one of the smartest head coaches in the NFL, and his intelligence has given him a certain wherewithal to resist phony genius and trend hopping.
