Seahawks' second-half offensive swoon, philosophical differences led to coordinator change

SEATTLE -- Down 23-13 midway through the fourth quarter of their wild-card loss last weekend, the Seattle Seahawks faced a fourth-and-1 at their own 34-yard line and decided to go for it. They didn't get the snap off in time despite an injury stoppage that gave them more than two minutes and 20 seconds of real time between plays.

The delay was a result of Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer disagreeing on what to call. Carroll overruled Schottenheimer, but his preferred play took so long to get relayed to Russell Wilson that the offense had to rush to the line.
