The most boring hire possible.

Well................ummmmm........

Boring it is... but looks like he’ll be our guy. A new commitment to the run game.... I like it.

Ohhhhhh boyyyyy.....well, he had some success when he had competent QBs!

Wow this sounds really lame at the outset. Wanted DeFillipo but it looks like we aren't even giving that a shot? From what I'm reading we might as well have kept Bev, lots of people think he's better than Shotty!

Time will tell...hopefully something good.

I’m ignorant, are there some connections?

Is there already som relationships?

RW?
PC?
Etc

Edit: I’m not familiar with him at all.
I assume he’s Marty’s son ?

Quite literally any change is better than keeping Bev

I miss Bevell.

JS worked under Marty I think.

Rams fans are loving this move on twitter

Thinking inside the same box.

Hey, he's at least better than Bevell (have to keep reminding ourselves this). Still a little surprised they would pull the trigger so quickly.

Has proven to be a failure IMO........ugh

Bevell is available. We should give him a call. Seriously.

What an underwhelming hire.

I said this so many times, but be careful what you wish for. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Schottenheimer was their top choice, and the Seahawks wanted to get him before other teams offered him positions. - Rapoport added

Not the hire I was expecting.........

Yea, cuz other teams are really knocking down his door... man, this sucks.

12’s don’t get their shiny (as yet untainted) new toy. Cue the whining.

Has he ever coached an offense with a qb as good as russ?

Give him a chance, heathens.

I could find this EXACT same post about Pete Carroll after that hire. Probably about 500 of the exact same posts. Worked out okay.

Not even close.

sedrohawk wrote:Has he ever coached an offense with a qb as good as russ?

He coached Drew Brees when he was with the Chargers.

Let’s see how well he can dial up run, run, deep pass, punt

Had a feeling this would happen!

Fully prepared to give him a fair shot.

Hire Bevell....

" Schottenheimer has nine seasons of coordinating experience in the NFL, but just one of those offenses finished inside the top-15 in total yards while none finished inside the top-15 in passing yards. Seattle should aim higher. "

" We were optimistic about the future of the Seahawks' offense when reports emerged they were willing to embrace a college-style scheme to suit Russell Wilson's strengths. Instead, Seattle has opted for a proven-failed offensive mind in Marty's son. An utmost example of the NFL's rampant nepotism, Brian Schottenheimer flamed out in previous stints coordinating offenses with the Jets, Rams, and University of Georgia. He spent the last two seasons coaching quarterbacks for the Colts. It's good news for the rest of the NFC West. " oook..... Is Bevell still available ? lol

Bingo.

It's all about trust and relationships with Pete Carroll, and that's what it was always going to be about. Willingness to execute the vision of someone above you. My guess is that Pete saw Defilippo as too strong a presence.

Basically, we have another Bevell. And when we go 11-5 next year because we found some health and running game, then lose in the divisional round off the momentum from a couple of fluke plays, this time Pete will be the one to get the blame for hiring Schotty.

I don't want to look too much into his past, because that isn't fair. His QB's he has coordinated for have been Mark Sanchez in New York and then a mix of Bradford, Austin Davis, Kellen Clemens and Shaun Hill in Saint Louis. It's very likely that if he was able to run an offense for someone like Brees or Rodgers he would have had a lot more success.

What I do want to talk about is his play calling style. That Jets team was such a defensive force I remember their style of play being similar to RW's first few seasons with the Seahawks.

Overall it seems like an underwhelming hire, but his resume is incomplete because of the QB's he's had under him.

But, let's see what this other Bevell can do without Cable. I truly think he was the greater problem.

O Ye of Little Faith! It is clear that Pete sees something that he likes in Brian. We as fans are going to have to wait until the end of July until we get a clear picture of what is going to happen to our Offense.

Rams fans......Jeff Fishcer.....boo!

What Pete sees, most likely, is a coordinator who's willing to execute Pete's philosophy and vision and sublimate his own interests. He may well have seen Defilippo and the other candidates as too strong a mind and presence for him. That's pure 100% speculation on my part, but it would fit. It's all about trust and relationships.

Or were those quarterbacks bad because of him?

As long as we get a decent oline coach I think it'll be fine and I have a feeling that it's going to be a situation where he performs much better with our scheme than he did with other teams and it's gonna piss em off that much more
Next year is gonna be interesting folks , just expect the first few games to be a little rough but then get on track and hope we can get into a rythym

Context is important, too.

After coaching Drew Brees in San Diego for five seasons, Schottenheimer was stuck with Mark Sanchez, the ghost of Sam Bradford, Austin Davis, and Shaun Hill at QB during his nine seasons as an OC.

He has a very good understanding of the run game, which was a constant issue with Bevell. He even managed to get a couple decent seasons out of Sanchez.

I think he will be a major upgrade over Bevell.

Definitely not an upgrade over Bevell, IMO. Such a meh addition. The Rams were horrible offensively under him as an OC. Marc Trestman would have been better.

It's hard to judge an o-coordinator when they have a crappy qb give him a chance.

Doubt anyone, myself included, has analyzed Schottenheimer at a level that would give the opinion any meaning. I’m more than willing to give him a shot. Change was needed and he’s it. Wish him the best.

For real? Those guys are just plain bad. Awful luck for him. Coaches Andrew Luck to his best statistical season . . . then Luck misses all of 2017, leaving him with the great Jacoby Brissett.

Christ.

Give him a chance ffs.

Maybe Schotty and Wilson find something special together. Maybe not.

I actually agree with the point that it's more about the talent at your disposal than anything else, but if that's the case, why did we let Cable and Bevell go? Because, in Cable's case, there is evidence that he was wrecking the available talent.

Sure, Schotty was stuck with bad quarterbacks for much of his career. He also may have been responsible for those bad quarterbacks, like Sanchez and Bradford. He did have a couple good moments, like Brees and Luck.

Meh. I'm the type to see coordinators as almost a non-factor. I was hoping for an innovator, but this news doesn't really Russell me one way or the other. If you'll pardon the pun that autocorrect provided for me.

lmao
