The Seattle Seahawks had hopes of improving upon their unexpected 9-8 record and playoff appearance in the 2022 season. Instead, they stayed at 9-8 and didn’t get the help needed to return to the playoffs. This resulted in the end of Pete Carroll as head coach, the hiring of Mike Macdonald, and the promotion of John Schneider to President of Football Operations.

Schneider has served as Seahawks general manager since 2010, but Carroll’s departure means this is the first time he’ll have full control of personnel. With uncertainty surrounding the futures of key players such as Geno Smith, Quandre Diggs, Jordyn Brooks, Leonard Williams, and others, it’s easy to wonder if a new coaching staff and major roster decisions could lead to the Seahawks going backward short-term in order to go forward long-term.
