If it is Pete Carroll making all the decisions, then why would we want Schneider if he's just a face?

Browner's road has actually been one back to the NFL. An undrafted free agent out of Oregon State in 2005, he signed with the Denver Broncos and lost that season to a broken forearm. He wound up starring for the CFL's Calgary Stampeders for five seasons, and while he got the occasional look from the NFL, it wasn't until Seahawks general manager John Schneider, acknowledged as one of the most comprehensive personnel guys in the business, told head coach Pete Carroll that 2011 was the time to bring Browner in for a better look.

Of course it maybe different if he's ever given the reigns and forced to make that yes or no decision himself but given his track record I'd say he'd up with more good than bad.

WPR in CINCINNATI! Wait, that was WKRP wasn't it? Anyhow, Wayne pretty much covered it greatly. I am just chiming as acknowledgement more than anything else. 🙂

This post has a little more information on what the NEWS feature is.

I could be wrong, but isn't Eliot Wolf still a little green/young to take over the role?

If he were to run for President of the United States of America, then yes, he is too young.

I found no such age restrictions in the NFL rules. You ... you ... you age discriminator!

I'd rather the right guy at a young age than the wrong guy at a old age.

32 doesn't concern me... MLB has guys like Theo Epstein and Jon Daniels. Red Sox hired Theo at age 28 and the Rangers hired Daniels at 28. Both have been to multiple World Series and Boston has won a couple.

It's going to grow to be a younger man's game. I didn't catch it but I keep reading Ted Thompson was having "senior moments" during his recent presser. The pace, pressure and time commitment doesn't suit a guy in his 60's as well as it does a guy in his 30's.

Theo has been with the Cubs since 2011... and they're flourishing...in the basement year after year. I think the staff you're surrounded with is much more important than the figure head. I cite Holmgren as an example...man, did we have a staff, or what, when we won it in '96. We've lost a lot from our current org. and I've wondered how long before the fall, but we have an elite QB so we may not find out for a few years.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Then again, I've often thought Sherman got the job before he was ready.
