Despite a decade of sustained success, the Seahawks’ organization led by Pete Carroll and John Schneider have rarely had members of the franchise poached for other jobs.

That is, however, not for a lack of interest.
Two key members of GM John Schneider’s personnel department, Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner, have come up as candidates in different GM searches around the league over the past several years.
