SEATTLE -- In a surprising move, the Seattle Seahawks and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer have parted ways after three seasons.
The Seahawks announced the decision Tuesday, citing "philosophical differences" as the reason for the parting, while calling Schottenheimer a "fantastic person and coach."
The Seahawks scored the most points in franchise history this past season, but their offense fell off severely in the second half. Seattle led the league in offensive scoring at 34 points per game over the first nine weeks, but that average dropped to 22.6 points per game over the final eight weeks of the regular season.
