Report: Russell Wilson wanted Schotty fired

As large portions of the country bake in the sweltering heat of the longest day of the year, the NFL offseason has reached its dead zone. Organized Team Practice activities have concluded for the Seattle Seahawks, and more than a month remains until the team reports for training camp in late July. So, just as a void in the news cycle arrives, potentially allowing fans to sit back and imagine with hope and anticipation a successful 2022 season, Corbin Smith of SI.com dropped a bomb Tuesday afternoon.

Smith did so by reporting that former Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson had grown tired of offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer during the 2020 season, and that Wilson and his camp wanted a change in coordinators as Schotty’s playcalling and style had grown stale.
