Almost exactly ten years to the day that Pete Carroll fired Jeremy Bates as his first Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator, the same has happened to Brian Schottenheimer.
Due to apparent “philosophical differences” between Schotty and Carroll, there will be a new OC in town for the 2021 season after three years with Schottenheimer. I don’t think anyone expected things would end this way after the success of the “Let Russ Cook” offense through early November, but a sharp downturn late in the season (with Carroll admitting he meddled in the offense after Russell Wilson’s turnover problem) proved to be critical in this departure.
