Following the last season when the Seattle Seahawks failed to reach the postseason, the weirdly weird 2017 campaign, multiple coaches paid with their jobs for the perceived, and real, underachievement of their respective units.
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell? Out.
Defensive coordinator Kris Richard? Bye.
Assistant head coach Tom Cable? Sacked. (Get it? “Sacked.” Get it?)
In 2021, as the Seahawks nosedive toward a losing season and an unprecedented last-place finish in the NFC West, one main figure on the coaching staff has positioned himself to be the fall guy. Whether or not he deserves such a dubious honor is another debate — which we’ll have plentiful time for starting this moment, without the distractions of decent football, the playoffs, or a first round draft pick.
