The Seahawks’ theme has been the same all this month. For many months, in fact.
Since the day after their season ended without the playoffs for the first time in six years. Through the most upheaval of the coaching staff in the eight years Pete Carroll has been in charge. Even since October and a sideline shoving match between a player and a coach--during a win, no less.
The pronounced, urgent need in Seattle is for accountability. To be accountable for performance. And, more to the point of the Seahawks’ last two seasons, non-performance.
