You readers know I like the stats. The flawed but still useful traditional ones; the advanced ones with smaller error bars; the best stuff put out by footballoutsiders.com. I love the way numbers can tell a story, if you can find just the right digits to serve as words.
But how does one accurately quantify the moves made by the Seattle Seahawks front office in the past week? Gone are Darrell Bevell, Tom Cable and Kris Richard, in to replace them respectively are Brian Schottenheimer, Mike Solari and Ken Norton, Jr.
There are plenty of ways to manipulate statistics into making you feel one way or another about Pete Carroll and John Schneider’s hires.
