It's time for Schottenheimer to go

Pete fired someone that stood up to him, imagine that.

Philosophical difference, translated to you can't control Wilson I will.

Wrong translation, you do the offense I want or your gone and it started game 6. This is about PC control, he change dthe offensive style after game 5 to help his defense and Fed it all up and Schotty had enough of it. adn the dominoe swill keep falling.

He didn't, they had to open it up to offset what the defense could not do.

Try again for 200 Alex.

Did he get fired?
Or just get tired of Pete destroying his career and leave on his own?

Destroying his career? Did you see his career prior to coming here?

This is actually more likely bad news. Schottenheimer probably told Pete he was unwilling to continue to sacrifice his career on Pete's bullshit. No longer a yes man? Out the door you go.

I liked Schotty too for the most part, but sacrificing his career?

Schottenheimer was a generally crappy coach prior to Seattle. He absolutely sucked at Georgia despite having absurd talent on the team, and was just a QB coach when he was hired here. To his credit, he led the offense to some fairly good years, but to say Pete was ruining his career?

Let's be honest - if anything, Pete took this guys career to heights it almost certainly wouldn't be at now if Seattle hadn't given him a shot, not the other way around.

Schotty has provided 2 absolutely horrid playoff gameplans in his career of 4 playoff games for the Seahawks. As much as I disliked Bevell, he at least had acceptable plans and adjustments most of the time. The Schotty gameplans against the Cowboys and the Rams will go down as some of the worst ever.

I think it's in the genes. His father also was known to have crappy playoffs as well.

So moving on is well advised. We need a more dynamic run game that can shift into play action more seamlessly. Schotty got way too enamored with 7 step drops and forcing Wilson to play from the pocket.

We could also do with a DC that can gameplan for the Rams. Requiring the Rams QB to have a dislocated thumb to win against them isn't going to fly.
