1. Harbaugh: He has proven he can win a National Championship and get to a Super Bowl and compete in the playoffs. His NFL tenure is short, but showed immense promise. So far he has been able to turn around any team he has coached into a championship contending team.
2. Dan Quinn: Someone said this was possible. I like Dan Quinn. He took Atlanta to a Super Bowl and almost won. He has more experience under his belt. I would not mind giving him a chance. His Dallas defense is pretty good. I know he works very, very hard.

He's currently the OC of the Bengals and if he can talk his father Bill Callahan to come with him it could really change things. Bill Callahan is thought of as one of the better OL coaches in the NFL.

As I have mentioned in other post, and I know the Seahawks probably will look for a young OC to lead the hawks as their new HC, and I would be happy with that but I really still think Mike McDonald would be my vote. Going back to a dominate defense is something I would love to have back.
So many things to look forward to, and until we hire a new HC and start there it will be fun to watch this process play out. I hope John does some house cleaning and start fresh. I can see a lot of our vets gone this offseason. There is the possibility of seeing some younger players being traded aways for draft capital like DK Metcalf and Jordyn Brooks and doing a a complete rebuild.
I hate to see Lockett go, unless he restructures his contract for less money and stays. He does have a real estate company locally so not sure if he would be willing to sign somewhere else, but love to see him retire in blue.
I am perfectly fine if they cut 70% of this roster, and get younger. Starting with our safeties.

Maybe because the team doesn't want to pay him the balance of his contract?
jshawaii22 wrote:Well, some time after that, at PC's press conference, and according to Pete, that's not how the meeting with Management went down and he was nice, but didn't seem pleased about it at all.
-- He wanted to stay as coach
-- He never talked about or agreed to stay on as a consultant
c_hawkbob wrote:Pete is still an employee under contract. Besides HC he was Executive VP of Football Operations (or some such) and all I've heard is that they took away his HC position. If they want to redefine his other duties as advisory I don't see a problem there and don't get the impression he does other than to say "I really wanted to keep coaching". I do think we should have let him coach out his contract personally. One more year to see if he can do something more with all these youngsters. But it is what it is.

MackStrongIsMyHero wrote:On my phone, so don’t feel like dealing with quoting, but, to the honest question of his title vs his role, I’m guessing his title isn’t immutable, and, even if there’s contract language regarding his level of authority, I don’t peg Pete as someone who’s going to lawyer up to fight a reduction in that authority. I sure hope they don’t stick him I a back corner office with stacks of boxes and no window(s). He’s earned more than that. Per his conference, they are still figuring out what his role entails. Either he’ll be down with that and his accommodations, or he won’t and he’ll leave for good. Also per his press conference, he’s still of the mind and energy to contribute and be a part of it, so we’ll just have to see what happens.
NorthHawk wrote:Pete made it clear in his press conference when he said John has all the power over personnel and he’s there to help him out if he wants some advice or support. They won’t be working together anymore.
However, I expect him to end up with another team before the season starts.
NorthHawk wrote:I would think he would want to get back into coaching ASAP because of the perception of age and because coaches sometimes become forgotten if they are out of the spotlight.
