There's only one poster here that's advocating that Pete get fired.But I'll have to tell you, if he hadn't recognized the problems with this team that had caused us to slide into mediocrity and decided to shake things up, I wouldn't have been very far behind. We've had some bad drafts, made bad trades, and made some bad FA signings over the past 5 years, and the chickens have finally come home to roost. Pete and John seem to have lost their magic, and need to get it back and get it back quickly, starting with a potential Earl trade and the upcoming draft.

His first 4 seasons in which he coached the team to the play offs, tore down the team, returned to the play offs one season after the rebuild then two SB appearances OR every season SINCE the SB loss to N.E.????????????????
I say it is every season SINCE that fiasco in the Super Bowl. IF Bevell had NOT gone into "play not to lose" mode (probably directed to by PC) we would have won Going away. Again and again and again PC put too much pressure of the defense in general and the LOB in particular. Then, after that game PC and JS have made some of the most head scratching draft choices and player moves. Don't expect that to END!
LOSER Bud Grant, that IS the genesis ROOT of coaching tree Pete Carrol sprung from. An earlier disciple was Marty Shottenheimer, another LOSER especially in BIG GAMES.
It was a MIRACLE that Pete was able to win at least ONE Lombardi because it is in his DNA to CHOKE. But, the defense with the LOB signed. sealed, and delivered that win.
Under Pete, the Hawks may make the play offs once in a while but don't expect them to make any noise. The only way Pete will make it to any more Super Bowls will be with a ticket.
P.S. I wanted a NEW O.C. not a retead who will be WORSE (if that is possible) than Darrell Bevell so GL all of you Petie Lovers.

Hawk Sista wrote:You’ve resigned to telling us you told us so, RD. You were right about Pete’s Rah-Rah style, you were right that Bevel should have been fired.... etc.
I’m all for the needed changes, but let’s not rewrite history. The Hawks have been good these last 6 years. During that stretch (w/ 2 SB trips) they fielded the best teams in franchise history. In December last year (before our injuries mounted to devastating levels), we were right there for the playoffs again. What would our record have been this last year with just a few of the following: a healthy Sherm, Kam, Cliff, Chris Carson, CJ Procise, Fant, a decent kicker?
Largent80 wrote:Richard was a Quinn clone. He ran the same defense. It's not the coach. It's players that aged, that became jaded and forgot what got them into the lineup in the first place. The Hawks took too long to act on the coaches and then the players.
That has changed and I'm very happy about ALL of these changes. It's what we all asked for, so bitching about it is ridiculous.

Guess what?...I expect improvement rather than regression this year in spite of the losses of defensive talent.
Puleeze!

WHAT??? OH. I GET I, DB's are going to take the place of the O-Line and will NOW be the unit where our Seahawks will "pinch pennies"!
Good Grief PEOPLE!!! How can most of you act like ostriches and bury your head in the sand and pretend that Pete has NOT lost his MIND as well as his midas touch.
Maybe you will change your mind when the Hawks AGAIN have a LOSING record at home this season and start the season at 2-6 because THAT is MY prediction, that the Hawks will start the 2018-19 season at 2-6 and I don't even know WHO the opponents are. That IS how little faith I have in PC and his side kick Jon Schneider.
