This is the first I have heard of this, anyone else heard any resemblance of this rumor???

Among the buzz in Seattle during another woeful season is centered around the questions of who will be at the helm in 2010. But that goes deeper than just one spot. The team needs a new general manager, and that GM could prefer to let Jim Mora go and hire his own guy. And that new head coach could prefer to start over at quarterback as soon as possible, which would also spell the end for Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle.

While it's not common for a coach to get just one year, the Hawks have nine wins in two years after winning nine or more for four straight seasons, and if they had a chance to to grab Bill Cowher or John Gruden out of the broadcast booth this offseason, passing just to be "fair" to Mora would seem foolish.

But what about the QB position? The Seahawks have two first-round picks in April, giving them ample chances to draft the heir apparent and giving Hasselbeck another year isn't out of the question by any means. The free agent route isn't likely unless Hasselbeck is released or traded, but there's also the idea that Hasselbeck, in the final year of his contract next year, could restructure that final year's salary to help the team's cap situation and give him some more guaranteed money and an extra year while the young QB comes in and learns the system.

can't see it myself, but you never know. Matt has taken the blame for a beat up and inconsistent O-line. I personally think he's still a great qb and would like to have him back for one or two more years. I, like many many other hawk fans would love to see Mora gone instead.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
