There was a similar rumor going around back when he was with the niners...
I don't know if I believe this yet

Man, today is full of surprises. Best of luck to Scot. A couple weeks before the draft. A little shorter window than when he left the 9ers prior to their draft back a few years ago. Hope he isn't fighting demons.

I'm hoping this is the case as well, there were "claims" back when he was a Niner that he struggled with alcohol...
I don't know the truth nor do I want to start any rumors but I hope that has nothing to do with this

Wow tough day for the hawks.

Definitely don't like seeing this.

This is probably a fairly big deal? Ive never really heard much about him, other than 'he is an awesome personnel guy'.

La Canfora says he is going to head up an independent scouting service while tending to his family matters. Seems like this is about money? Though just earlier this year he turned down an opportunity for more money with the dolphins so who knows.

this is bad....REAL BAD

Scot seems like a decent fellow. I remember reading the story about him when he was on the road scouting for the hawks after he left the 9ers organization and was talking with pride about Frank Gore and the 9er's play the year they lost to the Giants in the NFCCG. He was genuinely proud of those guys. Something he had a hand in building. I think he has helped John Schneider here as well. Sounds like he will be forming a private scouting firm while he deals with his family issues.

Football is a demanding business for coaches, players and FO personnel. You have to dedicate a lot to the sport to be successful. Hope it works out for him.

Sad to see him go but next man up

Its not that bad. Seahawks have a talented scouting department... and JS is arguably elite in this quality.

We lost something but not everything.

Haha, that's pretty dang funny.

Interesting that they announce all this news on the day the schedule is released. I'm sure they're not the only team doing it this way.

*Hope he charges extra to 9ers.

McCloughan intends to organize his own independent scouting service, while working from home as he tends to his family matter

What's to stop him from sharing all of his (our) notes for this draft class? That could suck, also.

Trade secrets law would prevent him from doing that.

Trade secrets law . . . and professionalism, and ethics.
