RENTON, Wash. -- One of John Schneider's football mantras, ingrained in him during his formative years in the Green Bay Packers' front office, is that the two most important people in an NFL franchise are the head coach and the quarterback.
The Seattle Seahawks' general manager now controls the fates of both spots.
To be sure, Schneider will weigh input from whichever coach he hires to replace Pete Carroll when deciding on whether to stick with Geno Smith at quarterback in 2024. But now that Schneider holds final say in personnel matters in the Seahawks' post-Carroll power structure, the decision will ultimately be his to make.
