Peter McLoughlin is out as Seahawks president and chief executive after eight years with the team.
That included him raising the Vince Lombardi trophy on the podium and field following Super Bowl 48 four years ago.
Bert Kolde, vice chairman of the Seahawks and Vulcan Sports and Entertainment, team owner Paul Allen’s company that runs the NFL team, said at a press conference Monday at team headquarters the franchise made the move now because McLoughlin’s contract just expired.
McLoughlin has been Allen’s representative for the Seahawks at league meetings.
Chuck Arnold, a Tacoma native and graduate of Curtis High School, is the new Seahawks president.
