Fans of the Seattle Seahawks are starting to truly get excited for both the start of the 2021 season and the return of fans. However, before that excitement arrives in a matter of weeks, there is more somber news to report.
Alex Gibbs, one of the greatest assistant coaches in NFL history and a man who almost always got his offensive lines to overachieve, passed away Monday morning in Phoenix, Arizona, following complications from a stroke, per the Broncos. Gibbs was 80 years old. pic.twitter.com/648h0Zq0YS

Alex Gibbs, of course, was hand picked by Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll to take on the job of Offensive Line Coach when Carroll arrived in the Pacific Northwest back in 2010.
