I've never been concerned with the penalties. My complaints with Pete have mostly to do with the various failed Vikings that he constantly employs (Bevell, Harvin, Walsh) and his NOLine philosophy.
Since when did a coach that wins nearly 70% of the time get lumped into a "failed" category? I'll give you Harvin ... but even he contributed to a Super Bowl-winning season ... but most of those former Vikings had a place on the team. I liked Farwell, and he's still part of the squad as a special teams coach.Threedee":3du6rim2 said:I've never been concerned with the penalties.

Pete has had the best record of any coach the team has ever had. I love his style and think his teams play hard for him.
There are times when 'BIG BALLS PETE" calls a crazy play, and in reality his clock management skills have never been his strong suit. He's a great coach!
Pete has also had the most talented roster in Seahawks history. Wins come hand in hand. Its when the team isnt that talented that a coach really shines. Petes not doing so great pertaining to that aspect.

Pete is doing fine.

Sherman Smith left because he recognized the issues and realized Pete wasnt going to change. There was tension there when Smith left or was let go. Easier to be gone than to keep beating your head against the wall. Smith gets it. Some fans dont.

Any source on that?

I disagree. Pete is struggling and getting outcoached on numerous occasions. Doesnt matter though because the fans will just end up blaming everything on injuries instead of paying attention to how the team has been sliding the past 3 years.

We've got a good thing going here, its not perfect but its been consistently better than anything we've EVER had. Change is not always a good thing. When Holmgren left and we brought in Jim Mora Jr., I was ready for a "fresh upgrade". That's not what we got.
Pete stays or we riot.
DangerousDoug":vrso7xwf said:I'd like Pete to stay but to consider some of the recent struggles a wake up call and tweak (not totally change, but modify) some of his methods. I think the penalties this year are more than just playing "on the edge" but are rather an indication of lack of discipline and accountability, and that starts at the top.

"Some day" is now. There is absolutely no question that this is the golden age of Seahawks football. As far,as I'm concerned, Pete can stay as long as he likes.

Such weird philosophy. "You've done well for us so all your responsibility hence forth is gone, do what you like." Some of you guys are turning Pete into a demi-god.
Also the Jim Mora age didn't last that long, did it? And seriously if anyone bought into that garbage to begin with, well, you deserved to be disappointed.
You should not be happy with just 'making the playoffs' with the roster that we have fielded. Chancellor, Thomas, Wagner, and Sherman all have a realistic chance at the hall of fame, hell so does Wilson if he keeps up his pace. We had the chance to become a dynasty, and Pete squandered it. I'm grateful for what he has done, but it is clear that he is losing his edge. He has cost us several games due to questionable decisions, and poor clock management.Jerhawk":1a168u4n said:seahawkfreak":1a168u4n said:oldhawkfan":1a168u4n said:SanDiegoSeahawk":1a168u4n said:I predict some day we're going to look back at the PC years as the "golden age" of the Seahawks.

If the team was going 1-8 or whatever since the Superbowl, then yes, the coach should be on the hot seat. Instead, they've gone to the playoffs 5 straight years, haven't lost consecutive games for over six seasons, etc
