Sounds exactly like the type of GM Tepper was looking for. I'm sure the trifecta will work well. I'm excited for the hire, or maybe it's because it's over lol. Either way, fingers crossed.

Unimpressive and no wonder the Seahawks have lost all their potency. It's basically Wilson and Carrol's coaching at this point. 

I think Brady and Belichick did pretty well for themselves with that dynamic for almost 20 years and 9 Superbowl appearances. Most, if not all successful teams have/need this.

Coaching is BB's strength. He built teams early well and over time it has eroded. BB is a terrible drafter at this point and one of the reasons that they are struggling up there. Now trading goober backup QBs to suckers for a 1st? He is a god. Getting something for players he won't commit long term? He is amazing at that. Drafting? It's been downhill since he picked Brady. BB's GMing, at this point, is saved by his coaching.

Not the guy I wanted at all but hopefully tepper knows what he's doing at this point, or this may set the team back a lot.  

couldnt possibly be worse than the hurn....

People’s  mistake is not knowing that I’m talking about Rhule.

Quick, someone tell me if this is good or not 

Not the best candidate out there by a mile.

Hope it works out well for us.

Gonna suck big time if Rivera and Hurney get to the Super Bowl together before we do. Ron already hit the playoffs before we did... thanks to the epic NFCEast collapse.

According to some guy posting on an Internet forum. According to actual NFL insiders and executives he is a very good candidate who is absolutely qualified for the promotion 

[Arroz con Panther]

So if we hire this guy that puts our HC/GM combo at an average age of 46. Rhule is 45 and this guy is 47. Does anyone know which team has had the youngest HC/GM tandem? I’m sure there’s been younger but I’m not used to it with who our last GMs have been.

Last 5? Last 10 includes the Wilson year which was the best. I think you need to look at the last 5 again. 2016 isn’t shown but Seattle let their 1st rounder walk after his rookie deal he played so well. Metcalf, Lewis, Reed, Collier, Carson, Pocic, Dissly and Griffin. Those are the only 2020 starters from the past 5 years and Pocic is bad (called for how many penalties in last week’s loss), Dissly is a blocking TE (24 catches), Collier is meh and Carson’s fine but easily replaced.

3 above average starters in 5 years in Metcalf, Reed and Griffin. The other five are no better than saying Ian Thomas, Donte and Carter are our starters.

In the last 5 years, I’d put CMC, Shaq, Moton, Samuel, Moore, Burns, Brown and Chinn so far above Seattle’s good starters.

Top 4 NFL in the last 5 years is horse poo. If you are saying top 4 as in this is the best drafting of the 4 guys we had in for 2nd interviews then damn, we really didn’t worry about their drafting track record recently. Gettleman and Marty wiped the floor with Seattle’s picks the last four years.

You’d put Shaq Thompson ahead of DK Metcalf? I think you’d be the only one. 
 

Also if you’re comparing draft hauls, it’s good to remember that we’ve consistently been in the top half of the draft and they’ve been at the bottom.

[WestPanthers]

Personally not very impress with the drafted he did in Seattle. But just trust the process and we'll find out after 3 years.

Also the people comparing drafts are funny, like he had final say in who was drafted over the owner/gm/coach

Well he didn’t have final say in who was drafted. That would be the owner/gm/coach so judging our hire of him based off that would be a disservice. He’s outlasted 3 gm’s in Seattle so obviously he did a good job throughout his time.

No they aren’t. Carroll has won poo. 

so that is all you have?  Rhule has won poo.  He took a team with 25% of its cap in dead money--a team with a bare bones defense and no QB or OL. 

He won 5 games-

No--they don't give rings for that, but I was comparing style--not records.  Rhule has 16 games, no preseason or camp under his belt. He played about 6 undrafted rookies on Defense--
